There were plenty of picking parties and playing at the 4th annual Americana Folk Festival (AFF) on November 1, 2008. People brought their dogs, blankets, and a pure passion for roots music. New relationships were formed, old ones rekindled, and most of all, we took a breather to honor the healing power of music and nature. It was a beautiful weekend, and the AFF would like to thank everyone in the Dickson community who supported the event by helping and/or attending.

We applaud the amazing lineup of musicians:

The Alison Brown Quartet Casey Driessen Jars of Clay The Silver Seas Blue Mother Tupelo Derek Webb Sandra McCracken Madi Diaz Gretchen Peters The Old Ceremony Julie Lee Jennifer Niceley Jeff Black Megan McCormick The Early Evening Kingbilly Andrea Zonn The Bittersweets Paul Burch David Berkeley Claire Small The Contrarian Ensemble Robby Hecht Peter Bradley Adams Sonia Leigh Kindling Stone David Dewese Steven Delopoulos Craig Carothers Angus White Eric Wilson & Empty Hearts Kevin Gordon Eric Zarycki & The Persuasion

We would like to extend a very special thank-you to Pat Wright and the entire staff of Montgomery Bell State Park, Eric Lankford, Steve Cordell, Holly and Jeremy Spencer/House Blend Coffeehouse, Tommy Marvin, and The Dickson Herald.
