Possessed By Paul James in the Lucky Barn

Brace yourselves for Possessed By Paul James’ a capella version of “Older In My Body” and personal conversation from last year in the Lucky Barn. It’s all over at The Bluegrass Situation now.

New on YouTube: Shakey Graves on Mountain Stage

Back in 2013, Shakey Graves was a little-known, one-man-band who played a few sets on Pendarvis Farm with a guitar and a suitcase drum. Last year, however, he came back to Pickathon to melt faces and rattle bones on the Mountain Stage. Watch “Word of Mouth” at Wondering Sound now.

Mandolin Orange on the Farm

Somewhere on Pendarvis Farm, in a secret space known only to few, Mandolin Orange set up to perform a stirring version of “Wake Me” from 2011’s Haste Make / Hard Hearted Stranger. Check it out, premiering on Grist’s On The Farm channel today. Join us at this year’s festival from July 31-August 2, 2015!
