Everfest's Take
From the Organizer
In its eighth year at the enchanted Heron grounds in Sherman, NY (home of the Great Blue Heron Music Festival), Night Lights Music Festival will take place August 23-25 and will once again transform the Heron into a magical three-day SOUND & LIGHT spectacular. Anchored by nationally touring electronic rock innovators Lotus and funk outfit the Motet, Night Lights will also feature two (2) sets from WNY’s groove rockers Aqueous. This year’s line-up will also features electronic super group Octave Cat ft. Jesse Miller (Lotus), Eli Winderman (Dopapod), Charlie Patierno , jazz/funk fusion producer Anomalie, as well as reggae driven bands Tropidelic and Bumpin Uglies. Spread over three nights and three stages, this year’s diverse lineup features a variety of artists spanning over genres including heavy groove trio lespecial, Appalachian soul pioneers Upstate Rubdown, masked mayhem rocker Boss Tweed and the Carpetbaggers as well as an acoustic set from Pappy (Cabinet, Gatos Blancos). The weekend will be highlighted by several tribute sets including Wild Adriatic Led Zeppelin tribute, Buffalo based quartet Space Junk will pay tribute to the Disco Biscuits and a Western New York all-star cast, known as Psychedelic Jukebox, will pay homage to the long lineage of psychedelic rockers. Music festivals are not just about the music, they're about the community they create. Night Lights Music Festival began small and simple; just a bunch of good friends getting together and enjoying a weekend of great music in the woods. Our community has since grown quite a bit but the underlying principles remain the same; Community. Art. Nature. Join us. It's so much fun. Can't wait to see you there!
