Ten reasons to go to Wilco's Solid Sound Festival







Why should you go to the Solid Sound Festival curated by Wilco?
I think that the question should be, why SHOULDN'T you ???
Here are 10 good reasons to go 

1) You will see and hear lots of Wilco,, what is not to love about that ?

2) it is at Mass MoCA.  Charming and curious museum, lots of interconnected old factory buildings and little courtyards. Cool.

3) You will see and hear many bands that you may not be familiar with, you will always find someone who sparks your interest.

4) Comedy and special exhibits.  Everything from ornithology to axe sharpening is represented.

5) Food and drink. Lots of local vendors and some special ones from Chicago.

6) Joe's hose. You can refill your water bottle for free.  What festival does THAT ?


7) Free wifi. I know, we don't belong on our phones, but how else can we post all those cool photos to Instagram ?

8) Kid friendly.  I don't have young children any more, but this is very kid friendly, makes it much easier for parents to go  have some fun too.
Hey, I let a little toddler next to me take his first photo with an iPhone.  He was thrilled and his mom was happy, that's the Wilco spirit.



9)  It is very well organized. Parking and shuttle busses, wrist band so you can come and go as you please.
