WinterWonderGrass Music & Brew Festival announced the 2020 lineup Thursday. The music festival returns to Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows on March 27-29. It will welcome performances from some of the hottest names currently thriving in today’s bluegrass and Americana music scenes. The festival also holds the event in Vermont and Colorado.
“It’s with a mountain of intention, huge hearts, humility and a commitment to delivering the hottest and sweetest artists that we present to you the 2020 WinterWonderGrass landscape,” said Scotty Stoughton, festival founder. “Each year, the hardest thing to do is not heed our desire to return to each and every band — and by virtue of that, friends to WWG — year in and year out. It is our sincere desire you’ll find new lifetime favorites on this lineup, have the chance to be reunited with old loves and step out of your comfort zone with open arms to new experiences.”
WinterWonderGrass makes its way to the Tahoe for its sixth consecutive year presenting three days of music at the base of Squaw Valley Ski Resort.
“WinterWonderGrass has become a home for artists, fans, staff, locals, businesses, skiers, riders, their families and all of the like,” said Ariel Rosemberg, festival director of marketing and ticketing. “We pride ourselves on creating a sustainable, safe and receptive environment, bound by the marriage of the best in bluegrass, folk and Americana, and the undefeated nature of American ski culture.”
