Sorry this site has gone unnoticed since a fantastic GSOfest. Greensborofest 2012 will go down as a good one with some very intimate shows on Friday & Sunday @ both The Green Bean and Glenwood Coffee & Books along with two big shows at The Blind Tiger & CFBG’s! THANK YOU TO EVERYONE THAT CAME OUT & SUPPORTED EVERYTHING THE MUSIC SCENE IN GREENSBORO IS ABOUT. Big Thanks to all the sponsors, venues, and most importantly THE BANDS! The festival is nothing without you guys!
Above you’ll see a flier for a Record Fair we’re hosting at CFBG’s this Saturday, October 6th (1 - 6 pm). This is one of the reasons we haven’t updated this site since. Here’s the facebook page & blog posting with more details.
PLEASE NOTE: In case you haven’t heard, The Sideshow at the Park event has been postponed due to rain until tomorrow (Sunday, September 30th). Some of the lineup has changed, but great other bands have been added. Visit the facebook page to see the new schedule.
The rain isn’t gonna stop the music. The remaining two nights of Greensborofest activities continues tonight and tomorrow. Huge Thanks to the over 250 folks who came out last night to The Blind Tiger, including comedian Ron White! Here’s the remaining schedule for the festival:
