Govt. Mule, Miranda Lambert, ZZ Top take on BamaJam

For some, Radiohead’s (totally awesome) appearance at the 2006 Bonnaroo festival was a turning point in the hipsterization of music festivals. Indeed, most festivals these days try to keep it indie (an expression that no one has ever used before), even as jam bands get high billing.

But the BamaJam Music & Arts Festival has no time for hipster scum. The festival, which will take place in Enterprise, Alabama, June 5-7, is dedicated to the holy trinity: bluegrass, country, and “alternative,” which, in this case, mostly refers to those of a jammy inclination.

There are some big names scattered across the three days and three stages, including Gov’t Mule, Marc Broussard, ZZ Top, Miranda Lambert, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Hank Williams, Jr., just to name a few. There are also plenty of up-and-comers, as well as arts, crafts and deep-fried food. (Seriously, we’re not making fun. It’s in the press release. Delicious!)
