ahhhhh, merlefest……..a long weekend of so much musical talent!  it is one of the best festivals i have ever been to.  so many amazing volunteers help make it happen and the organizers of merlefest run the festival like a well oiled machine.  here are just a few of the great artists that i got to see.  a lof the crowd shots feature my two favorite little festival goers, my kids, eliza and ryder.  i love shooting for merlefest!

album hour was to die for!!! they covered the eagles greatest hits and wove in some other great musical greats into the songs….the beatles, earth wind and fire and prince were are few of the featured musical greats.
