HIGH NOTES

CANNABIS

It goes without saying that this summer, perhaps more than any other in recent history, everyone wants to get out and enjoy some live music together. After a year of rummaging through our old CDs and cassettes, let us all agree that there just isn’t anything like hearing a band you love play live.

And the northern Michigan music experience is beyond compare.

Memories are made when sinking your toes into the sand during that one song you like by that bluegrass band on the coast. Your heart skips a beat when you think of the rock show you went to in the middle of the forest, and the spirit in the air grazed your fingertips as you cheered for an encore. Energy and excitement are reciprocated between musicians and fans, and they reach their zenith when the whole crowd makes one collective sound that bounces off the trees. Northern Michigan is rich in talent from all different musical genres, but none are hotter of late than Grammy winner and former resident Billy Strings. Strings is days away from bringing tunes from his 2019 Grammywinning Best Bluegrass Album, Home, and, we hope, his soon-to-bereleased Renewal to Hoxeyville Music Festival Aug. 13–15. Located an hour outside Traverse City and less than a half-hour from two Dunegrass locations, Hoxeyville will be our home for the weekend. While we can’t recommend any products for the event, as there is no allowed consumption, come check us out before or after the event. Like Michigan music fans everywhere, we’re excited to get together with our friends and be floored by the performances of so many of our region’s homegrown musicians. Experiences with local music and each other brings us together and allows us all to share in a much-needed dose of community. With Dunegrass, these feelings of community are always heightened — but even better when shared.
