Dear Ryan,
The word on the web is that your the person to contact regarding press kit submissions for the upcoming dunegrass music fest this year. I work for a very talented band located in Kalamazoo Michigan and we’re looking to play the Midwest festival circuit this summer. Just wanted to know what the procedure was for getting booked at your festival.
Cheers,
Tim Finnigan
Hi Tim,
Please submit press/links to dunegrass@live.com
We are booked up for 2010 but would love to talk with you for 2011.
Many Thanks,
Ryan
Tree Hut Kings would love to play Dunegrass! THK’s music consists of jazz arranging, rock n roll attitude, soulful lyrics, flowing improvisation and funky grooves that keep you thinking, dancing and begging for more. Each setlist is its own blend of original songs, covers and improvisation, ensuring a unique audience experience at every show. We have been touring all over Michigan since the fall and will continue to do so. We are huge fans and friends with many of the great bands already chosen and would love to be a part of this Michigan musical family gathering!

When you are considering hiring Blues acts for your upcoming events, please consider the Boa Constrictors.
We are a Blues band with a true Michigan pedigree. We have members from Detroit, Lansing, and Grand Rapids, so when you come to a Boa Constrictors concert, you are hearing REAL Michigan Blues, and that’s a fact!
In the short time we’ve been around as a band, we have been fortunate to open shows for Charlie Musselwhite, Jason Ricci and New Blood, and the legendary Motown session-band, the Funk Brothers, as well as acting as the backing band for ex-Fleetwood Mac guitarist Jeremy Spencer and soon to be backing Big Bill Morganfield (Muddy Waters Son).
Our influences come from the Chicago harmonica bands of Little Walter, Junior Wells, and Sonny Boy Williamson, as well as the swinging guitar styles of B.B King and T-Bone Walker. Add to this a large helping of classic boogie piano and groovy B-3 organ, and you have a Boa Constrictors show!
We have a heavy dose of Detroit Blues influence as well — members of our band have played with the legendary Detroit artists Billy Davis, Alberta Adams, Lazy Lester, Little Junior Cannaday, the Butler Twins, Eddie Kirkland, Harmonica Shah, and Uncle Jesse White.
Each member of the Boa Constrictors brings a unique life experience to the band, both musically and personally. From large venues like Bluesfest International in Windsor Ontario, to the smallest bar, restaurant, or juke-joint, our shows are always spontaneous, energetic, and fun. And full of the honesty and sincerity that makes Blues the most exciting American musical art form.
Please visit our website at http://www.theboaconstrictors.com. Please browse your way through our photos and upcoming shows, and see what others are saying about our band.
We hope to see you soon!

They are just looking for exposure and only ask to cover their costs.
Opps! Sorry about the misspelling on your name Marc! Well said, though!
I just want to “ditto” Mark Ryan’s comment and THANK all of you who put so much hard work and your hearts and souls into reviving Dunegrass! And thanks to Ted for having my name down for will call, and letting me volunteer as usual! I had a great time and really appreciated all the work you folks did for all of us to come and enjoy! It was a great lineup and a great festival, I can’t thank you enough! Had big fun, and already looking forward to next year! THANKS AGAIN!!!
Hi, does anyone know how I can get a hold of the guy with the beard in the bee suit and carhart overalls that helped set up a bunch of stuff for the festival?
Thanks,
Erika

Wow What a Blast Dunegrass was and Thanks to all who made this happen, Ryan, Erica, Scotter, Ted, Wild Bill, Hoot, Laura, Dan, Sam, and all the The Eagles Club, The Neighbors, and anybody eles I might have forgot Like all the Bands that played, and the people that showed up to make it what it was, I will be more diligent next year LOL
Still no tickets in my mailbox and the fun starts tomorrow!
Tod,
You are verified and on will call. See you there!
We purchased early bird tickets and still haven’t received them in the mail. We are leaving today because we are doing camping trip up through the U.P. on our way. We won’t be returning home…so can we bring a printed online reciept if our tickets don’t arrive today?
i am looking for a ride from vanderbilt area near gaylord or possibly near grayling if someone is leaving from anywhere in that area i would really appreciate it..
We ordered our tickets at least one month ago and have not received them. Will they be coming via mail or do we pick them up at will call?
Barbara and Bill Harvey
If there is still available slots for performances please let us know. We are able to attend and perform. Let us know if you want us.
HI Erika,
Tickets went in the mail Friday to all on line purchasers and are on their way. See you all there.
The soul and spirit of Dunegrass Music and Mike Vanderberg lives on within each and every one of you.
You, the public are the heartbeat of Dunegrass.
Hi there,
I’m just wondering when the tickets are going to be sent out.
Thanks,
Erika
Hi all,
Thanks for keeping Dunegrass alive!
I bought an earlybird ticket a couple weeks ago and have not received it yet. Are you mailing it out or holding at will call?
Thanks
Hey Ryan how are ya???!!!! We are just waiting for the app to send back to you.
will camping be at your car at this new site or will it be park and carry your gear to a site?
There will be both car camping and parking for people who want to put their tent up in “tent city” which is close to the main stage with a partial view of stage. We have 24+ acres for car camoing that is all on site.
Pat,
Sorry, I’ve been swamped. We did focus on local talent, unfortunately, we couldn’t get everyone in. I don’t remember getting a call from you, what band are you with? This forum has not been a consistant form of communication as I’ve been doing most of the booking thru email. I apologize, I’ve sincerely made an effort to include as many regulars as possible. I’ve been on the job for 6 weeks now and there’s been alot to deal with. Don’t give up on us, we care, we really do. Give me a call and we can talk about it.
Regards,
Ryan
what the heck does a local have to do to get in or get a reply? I performed at the Nor-Eastr with Mississippi Weepin Willie and the Wolfboy and have been performing 30 years! I’ve written you folks 3 times without a response!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I boost Empire and every year have done downtown pumpkin carving demos to raise money for local charities…I’m also the guy out there in the wetsuit in winter…what’s a person have to do to get noticed around here! I know it’s too late now but I’d hope you were about local talent!
Hi Mark,
Sorry for the delayed response, things have been very busy. Sorry we didn’t get you in this year. Keep in touch and let’s do it next year. Hope to see you there.
Ryan
we had to have been one of the first bands to volunteer to play free-of-charge, and have gotten no response.we are all leelanau county residents of up to 30+ years.we don’t play out much, however, we’ve been together 6 years, used to play at boondocks on sat. nites., and benchwarmers. because of our professional schedules, it’s hard to make summer-long commitments at local establishments.We play probably the most varied spectrum of music of any band you will book.we just want TO HAVE FUN, and will draw a lot of locals.please let us know!!!Mark Martin
I’m still curious if there is a family camping site? Also, one note says the headliner is going on at midnight, is this correct? We have a 2 year old we want to bring, but have some concerns about quiet times. Thanks!
Also, are you planning on any reggae this year?
Greetings, This is Rod with JAM REK, a West African style drum troupe. We are interested in playing DUNEGRASS. We have been doing gigs around N Michigan the last few months and just did a gig as an opener for the SIerra Leone Refugee All-Stars at the Opera House. I played Dunegrass in 96 and it was a blast. Please contact me through my email.
Peace
Thank you thank you thank you for continuing the Dunegrass Festival. My band and I would love to play this event. We are the Sub-prime Blues Band. We play
Johnny Lang/Bihlman Bros. type rocking blues, with a little Phish/Allman Bros. jamband stuff for balance and flavor.
We just played the Elberta Solstice Festival last weekend and had a great time. Oddly, a young man in the audience took some vieo footage and youtubed us.
We liked it! You can see and hear us by google-ing
youtube+subprime blues band+Michigan. Not super great quality, but you’ll get the idea.
As the most recent former lead guitarist of the Benzie PlayboyZ, I cannot imagine a summer without playing Dunegrass. We don’t need to be paid…..we just wanna play. Please give us a slot….we want to help keep this Festival alive!
We have also made friends with another local band; Mark and the Meteors. They are a really fun party
band that can rock for hours. Like us, they just want to play!
You can each me by e mail or at 231 383 1876
Thanks for your time.

Did you guys decide about RVs? Are RVs going to be allowed as usual? And if so, is there an extra ticket we need to buy to confirm an RV spot?
Thanks
Yes RVs will be allowed and the fee will be $25 for the weekend. This fee will be paid at the gate.
Autumn,
Thanks for your support. If you would like to volunteer, please send a message to the volunteer email and someone will send you some info.
Thanks again,
