Groove Street Fest We're a music festival in Athens, OH dedicated to bringing you the best music and art entertainment from around the state
(6)

Have you ever been to a street festival where the whole town comes out to party? There's funky music blasting, people are dancing, eating good food and having a great time. While we're not actually "on the street," that atmosphere is what the Groove Street Festival is all about. We're bringing bands and artists from all around the state to the Dairy Barn in Athens, Ohio to have one huge festival.

The Dairy Barn Arts Center is a converted barn built in 1914 that has been turned into a gallery and community arts center. Groove Street Festival is taking place behind the barn on their spacious and beautiful grounds. Musically, this is a diverse and polished lineup that you won't see at any other festival. No sets overlap, so you won't have to miss any of these excellent acts. The biggest news of all is the return of Papadosio to Athens, OH for the first time in over a year! Anchoring the lineup and presenting the festival are two of the funkiest bands currently in Athens,First Street Heat and Elemental Groove Theory. We've also got Mojoflo from Columbus (this years headliner of Comfest) and The Pinstripes from Cincinnati (winners of the 2007 Cincinnati Entertainment Award for best world band) as well as 7 other fantastic bands. Check out the full lineup for more information on all of the acts. While Groove Street Festival is NOT a camping festival, we are only a 20 minute walk away from downtown Athens. You also cannot bring alcohol of any kind into the festival, but we are selling reasonably priced beer to patrons over 21. So come on down to Groove Street Fest for 12 hours of music, played by 12 fantastic bands, all for only 12 dollars! GROOVE STREET FEST 2011

Shank Bones

The next band on our list is Shank Bones, originally from Athens, now hailing from Columbus.

http://www.facebook.com/ShankBones

Shank Bones, a Columbus, Ohio based quartet, has spent the last 2 years developing their own brand of high energy, danceable rock music. Pushing the limits of traditional, live instrumentation, the group achieves a remarkably full, layered sound with a classic rock lineup. Using their progressive style of song structure as a launching pad, the group often explodes into sections of true group improvisation, effortlessly floating through themes and styles as a singular unit. Shank Bones has already begun to make a mark on the Ohio music scene, having played on bills with artists such as Papadosio, ekoostik ho**ah, the Werks, Skeetones, and Mike Perkins. 2012 looks to be a major year of growth for the band, as they expand their touring range to reach the ears of new audiences, while continuing to fine tune the sound that existing fans have grown to love.
