The first Woodshed Music Festival held on Oct. 10 and 11 was a smashing success.
The festival consisted of live music, food, drinks and vendors.
“Even in the harsh conditions we had, rain and stuff, everybody was just hunkering down and staying,” said venue owner and musician Brad Lark. “As soon as you’re soaked to the bone, it doesn’t matter anymore, and you’re just dancing in the rain, it was fantastic. We had people dancing to the end of the show, nobody left, and it was packed last night until the end, it was great.”
A diverse range of live music was played for festival goers with genres from alternative metal to country to rock and roll.
He further explained that listening to and performing music cultivates inspiration in individuals and communities leading to more creation and personal expression.
Attendees danced the days away and found moments of carefree joy while at the festival.
“(Live music) takes all your problems and worries away, it takes you to a whole other place, it’s awesome,” said festival goer Kathy Gregg.
The Willow Glen Resort has been a hub for live music for the past five years and plans to continue providing that outlet and experience to the community.
The Willow Glen continues to host their open mic nights, swing dance lessons and socials and live music Thursdays weekly. For more information, visit Willow Glen’s Instagram and website.
