looking forward to the show, i gotta admit that i’m a little dissapointed in the fact that jbt barely gets an hour and glove only 1 1/2 but oh well, i did not go last year and i can’t find any admission rules anywhere. such, as are you able to bring your own chairs in, backpacks with food, just looking for an idea on how this festival is ran, if anyone who went last year could let me know i’d appreciate it.

The show is IN Madison, there’s no camping that is real near by that I can think of. Here is a list of county parks with camping in Dane County, http://countyofdane.com/lwrd/parks/park_features/default.asp. The closest would be Lake Farm, but there is a smaller, more local festival going on out there, not sure how many spaces there are.
Good luck, enjoy the show!

I have not seen a schedule or set times released yet. I imagine sets will be typical of other festivals, so you could expect a 45 min – 1 hour set from Alejandro.

Is there a schedule of times for the artists? I would love to come up to see Alejandro Escovedo and hang out for the rest. How long does each act play? Really want to know these kinds of things before I drive 3 1/2 hours to Madison. Where can I find this information?

you are right! the 5th annual Sugar Maple Traditional Music (sugarmaplefest.org) is that weekend and right down the road.. with a great line up.. of real roots music… its too bad that corporate america is stepping on the little guys toes again. The Sugar Maple Fest is a real music friendly, family friendly little gem of a festival, you should check it out!
