All Good Music Festival
Encyclopedia
The All Good Music Festival and Camp Out is a weekend-long event held annually in July. Since its inception in 1997, it has been held at venues along the Mid-Atlantic, including Masontown, West Virginia
and locations in Maryland and Virginia. The event is organized by Walther Productions and includes mostly jam
and folk
acts, though the festival has expanded its musical repertoire to include reggae, hip-hop fusion, bluegrass, funk and rock. The 15th Annual festival was held July 14–17, 2011 on Marvin's Mountain Top in Masontown
, West Virginia. The lineup has included artists such as Sound Tribe Sector 9
, Furthur, Derek Trucks, Railroad Earth, Keller Williams, The Flaming Lips
, Phil Lesh and Friends
, Widespread Panic
, Umphrey's McGee
, The String Cheese Incident, Les Claypool
, Ratdog
, Moe.
, Lotus, Bassnectar, Old Crow Medicine Show, The New Deal, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, Yonder Mountain String Band, Robert Randolph, Dark Star Orchestra, Leftover Salmon
and The Werks
.
There are usually three stages at the festival: the main stage, flanked by a smaller stage, and the Grassroots stage located by Shakedown Street. Usually, the two main stages in the concert area operate with no overlapping sets, allowing festival-goers the unique opportunity to see all of the music scheduled at the festival. Because the location of the main stage is at the bottom of a hill, a natural amphitheater is created in which the music from the stage is projected to the maximum amount of listeners sitting on the hill, with the mountains of West Virginia as the backdrop. The Even Better VIP camping section is located at the top of this hill.
On October 13, 2011, Tim Walther sent a request to Caroline County, VA to ask for a change in a music ordinance. He wants to move the annual show from West Virginia to Moss Neck Manor, a 1,200-acre site in Port Royal, VA off U.S. 17 owned by the Silver Cos. The festival would feature 14 to 16 hours of music a day, twice as much as the county allows.
