Del Fest
11400 Moss Ave.
Cumberland, MD 21502 |
May 21–May 22, 2020 (Cumberland, Maryland)
DelFest is held at the beautiful Allegany County Fairgrounds in Cumberland, MD (2.5 hrs from Baltimore and DC). The festival originated from the desire to create a family-friendly music festival celebrating the rich legacy of McCoury Music while creating a forum for world-class musical collaborations and to showcase fresh new talent with a down-home feeling. Personally chosen by Del, the Allegany County Fairgrounds in Cumberland, MD served as the perfect location for DelFest–nestled along the Potomac River in the scenic Appalachian Mountains, the Fairgrounds are convenient to four major airports and easily reached by rail or road. The city of Cumberland is also a great host offering multiple hotel options, a charming downtown and great amenities including biking, a steam train engine and museum, and some top-notch dining. In addition to traditional stage sets by these world-class artists, attendees can again expect to see one-of-a-kind collaborations, special guest sit-ins, various tributes to Del McCoury and his musical legacy, intimate appearances, both at unique “playshops”—informal workshops where the emphasis will be on performance rather than instruction—and in late night indoor performances and picking sessions. Delfest will be immediately preceded by a 3-day Music Academy hosted by The Travelin’ McCourys and other all star players. ARTISTS
The Del Mccoury Band, Ackie Greene, Anders Osborne, Bela Fleck & The Flecktones, Billy Strings, Birches Bend, Cris Jacobs Band, Crying Uncle Bluegrass Band, Della Mae, Dre Anders, Fireside Collective, Frank Solivan & Dirty Kitchen, Hot Club Of Cowtown, Leftover Salmon, Lonesome River Band, Mandolin Orange, Michael Cleveland & Flamekeeper, Molly Tuttle, Old Crow Medicine Show, Punch Brothers, Rob Ickes, Sam Bush, Sierra Hull, Sister Sadie, St. Paul & The Broken Bones, Steve Poltz, The Broomestix, The Infamous Stringdusters, The Jakob'S Ferry Stragglers, The Jerry Douglas Band, The Lil Smokies, The Travelin' Mccourys, Trey Hensley, Twisted Pine
