c-towns Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 The Blurry Pickers made the second line of the bill, those guys are getting huge... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-towns Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 I have heard of less than 10 acts on this list. Barr Brothers, Dead Flowers, Kevin Breit and Parsonsfield are the acts that jump out at me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevO Posted April 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 I've heard of about 10 as well, which more than what I recognize in the lineups for other festivals. A somewhat rare (these days) Barr Brothers appearance in Southern Ontario. Great to see Kevin Breit, Charlotte Cornfield, Luyas, Sarah Harmer on the list. Lacking in headliners? Who would headline this? I wish they would get Cyro Baptista to come and play one of these years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was there as a part of the Nels Cline Singers and Daniel Lanois in 2015. We made a stupid decision that 2017 would be the year to no longer vend at Hillside. Some of this looks great!

DevO Posted April 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 I had a feeling someone would correct me, NW. :-) Damn that would have been good. I'm hoping to make a Hillside comeback this year. Haven't been in way too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edger Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 This weekend folks. Some of us on here are playing with the Blurry Pickers on Saturday at 3 and then again as part of two workshops on Sunday. One at 7 and the other at 10:15. Full schedule can be found here: http://hillsidefestival.ca/pages/performance-schedule-2017 On a down note unfortunately gratefulfest has been cancelled this year where we were also scheduled to play. Bummed about that.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Wish Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 Saturday was the epitome of a perfect summer festival day: weather, food, bands, friends, crowd, and vibes were all an 11. It was so great to see so many of your faces again! Here are a few pictures: http://imgur.com/a/VI69S p.s. Super special thanks to Anne and Will for driving the truck and our drunk asses home.
