If you are looking as forward to MerleFest 2017 as I am, I know you will want to mark your calendar for 10 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 17. That’s when the initial lineup will be announced and early bird tickets will go on sale at that time as well.

The four-day event, set for April 27-30, 2017, is an annual homecoming of musicians and music fans that is held on the rolling campus of Wilkes Community College in Wilkesboro, North Carolina. 

If you signup for the MerleFest newsletter you will be one of the first to get the lineup delivered to your inbox. You can also the festival on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to get lineup news.
