zuhgfest2013

Local jam band extraordinaire ZuhG is taking their annual music festival on the road this year. ZuhGFest 2013 will go down from Oct. 18 – 20, 2013 along the scenic North Yuba River, right next to a little town called Downieville, Calif. off Highway 49 at the Sierra Shangri-La Resort. “My family has been going to Shangri-La for decades every year for a week’s vacation,” ZuhG frontman Bryan Nichols explained to Submerge. “They’ve been going probably 40-plus years, and I’ve never missed a year since I’ve been born.” New caretakers took over the resort a couple years ago and really liked Nichols’ band, so naturally he talked them into letting him throw a music festival there. Nichols and his buddy, Franco, went to work booking a shit-ton of awesome Sacramento bands that were down for the trip—mixed with a healthy dose of touring bands—for what is going to be an incredible three days of music in a beautiful, remote location. Local faves like Massive Delicious, James Cavern, Justin Farren, Island of Black and White, EGG and many others will join musical forces with Jelly Bread, Mark Sexton Band, and Crush from Reno; Red Rose from Wisconsin, The Sunrise Review from West Virginia, Glimpse Trio from the Bay Area, Pine Street Ramblers from Nevada City and Stable Hands from the Central Valley. Day passes are $20, but if you’re up for making an adventure out of it, weekend passes are only $40 for all three days. Zuhgfest.com has plenty of options listed for places to crash within a few miles of the fest, as well as links to buy tickets, learn more about the performing artists, shuttle services and more.
