They will perform at the Dawg Daze of Summer Fest in Lone Jack on July 27, a Friday. Show time is 10:30 p.m. The festival is at the Lake Paradise Resort, 985 NW 1901st Road in Lone Jack. The three-day music lineup also includes Dirtfoot and the Dirty Dawgs, featuring Michael Kang (String Cheese Incident), Steve Molitz (Phil Lesh and Friends), Eric Gould (Particle) and local drum hero Brandon Draper (Quixotic). Several local bands/performers are also on the bill, including Hearts of Darkness. A three-day pass is $80 in advance. For more information on tickets and the music lineup, go here.
Odd that there's no one-day pass if you wanted to just see Mofro on Friday. I'm certainly not going to spend min. of $70 for that hippy lineup.

I heart the Hearts. Groovy line up. Love the title since the temps are in the 100's today. Good on the late show time. Sounds like a rock'n all nighter!

Should this site be cleaned up/updated? Both concerts listed to the right have passed. The Robert Moore links for sure are no longer online. Perhaps your webmeister could click on the links and ditch the ones that are no longer online.

Yo Mama's Big Fat Booty Band is always fun to see. If there were two or three other interesting bands on the lineup I'd go, but YMBFBB will probably be in Lawrence in the fall so I'll just wait until then to see 'em again.

I really enjoy JJ Grey & Mofro but will pass on this one. It will be hard for them to beat the performance they put on at Knuckleheads back in April, that show was fantastic!

I am laughing my ass off at all of the fools who continue to support the crappy Crossroads KC....
Have fun smelling those stinking porta potties and sweating your private parts off at the upcoming shoWS this 105 degree weekend.
It is time for that place to stop hosting shows which should be/could be hosted at a nice air conditioned venue with modern appointments

This show isn't at Crossroads you ignoramus.

"Odd that there's no one-day pass if you wanted to just see Mofro on Friday"
Agreed PB. I think that's a pretty big strategic error and I even told that to Drew (promoter) who sort of runs in the same circles as I do. In his defense, his goal is to bring in a national act and get people to stay a day or two for the lesser known but good lesser known acts. Not sure that will work without a national act every night like Waka.
This is a classic case of a festival in development. Last year was the first year I think and no one outside of the jamband circuit knew about it. I hope it succeeds although having it the first weekend of August might be it's Achilles heal.

"In his defense, his goal is to bring in a national act and get people to stay a day or two for the lesser known but good lesser known acts."
Yeah, I suppose I get that, but I'm just not a festival guy unless it's of the one-day variety so in this case, it's just not going to work for me. Maybe it's just something they won't advertise but I would think they should at least have a DOS option if people just wanted to show up for that Friday night Mofro show. Why turn away $?

Good point PB. Like you, my festival days are behind me. And like NEW pointed out, the weather will likely be a factor. I would like to hear from anyone who attended last year and get their take on how things were run. I know some people who have been to that resort and they did not have the most glowing reviews. But things may have changed, I do not know.

I'll do a festival for multiple days on the condition I can score a nice condo on VRBO within walking distance.
As for last year's festival, several friends of mine played there (Brother Bagman, Super Massive Black Holes) and attendance was spotty. Maybe 300 - 500 at it's peak if I am remembering everything right. Now granted these are mostly the younger jamband hippie crowd so according to them, everything was hunky dory but reaing between the lines, I am not sure old guys like us would necessarily agree.
Posted by: NEW | July 02, 2012 at 04:15 PM
Makes you wonder if a crowd of 300-500 is even enough to cover the nut?
Oh well, as much as I dig the sound of JJ Grey & Mofro, I will wait and catch them next time at Knuckleheads. Or Crossroads!

btw... did ya'll see this story about trying to avoid ticket scalpers.... if it is true... and really working as he says.... it could be the next best thing.
For the record, I am NOT fan of this doucher, but I do like his ticket selling style ( THAT IS... IF it is not a lie, which it might be)
