[FESTIVAL] In an interview a few weeks ago, Night Lights Music Festival founder Brian Enright told us about the philosophy behind the jam-band heavy line up choices for the unique festival. It’s first and foremost about booking what he and his team like to hear, but after that, it’s about working with the regional music scene to bring in the strongest bands from Buffalo, Rochester, Cleveland, and Pittsburgh. The line up at this year’s festival is as strong as it’s ever been, with headliners Papadosio, Dopapod, and most notably Buffalo’s Aqueous who will play three sets across the four day festival. Deeper in the lineup you’ll find Mihali Savoulidis of the band Twiddle, Austin, Texas psychedelic rock band Bright Light Social Hour, hometown favorites Lazlo Hollyfeld, Aircraft, and Funktional Flow, and many more. The festival, which runs this Thursday, August 24 through Sunday, August 27 at the Great Blue Heron festival site in Sherman, New York, also includes art installations, hiking, swimming, yoga, and craft vendors.
