Nelsonville Music Fest 2016 announces details

Stuart’s Opera House presents the 12th annual Nelsonville Music Festival, June 2-5, 2016 at Robbins Crossing on the campus of Hocking College in Nelsonville, Ohio. Headliners this year include Randy Newman (Sunday), Gillian Welch (Saturday), Gary Clark Jr. (Friday), Courtney Barnett (Thursday), and over 60 more acts all four days. The goal is to always improve the experience of coming to the Nelsonville Music Festival, working to add new elements in to NMF and continuing to develop existing ones. In this spirit the festival is launching an online fundraising campaign to support a brand new stage at this year’s NMF, but not just any stage, this one is from an old boxcar on loan from the Hocking Valley Scenic Railway! And in addition to hosting 22 more sets of music over four days, the boxcar will also be a public mural created at NMF by artist Barry O’Keefe!
