Mountain Goats Added to Rocky Mt. Lineup

Thursday August 7, 2008
John Darnielle of the Mountain Goats Live in ConcertYesterday, I made a little list of artists to watch, should you be heading out to the Rocky Mountain Folks Festival next weekend. (Although, let's face it, even if you're not heading to the Planet Bluegrass ranch for this annual festival, you should probably check out those artists, anyway. They definitely deserve some checking out!)

I also noted that Jakob Dylan, who was set to perform at the festival on Sunday had cancelled his set. The organizers let me know today that they'd filled the empty spot with literate folk-rockers the Mountain Goats. Certainly, this addition brings even more excitement into what is already an impressive line-up. Whether or not you'll be in Colorado next week, learn more about the Mountain Goats.

John Darnelle is one of the best songwriters out right now. I’ve been to a two of his shows, and he never fails to amaze.
