Yes, we're Folklife enthusiasts. Where else can you get a funnel cake, a hip-hop spitfest, a latin dance party, and a contest for liars, all in one place? We quoted Prince in the headline because we wouldn't be surprised if he showed up at Folklife this year. There is so much shit going on this weekend, and you don't have to drive all the way to the silly Gorge and pay through your nose to enjoy the music, yall.

Honestly, how many times do you get to spend a weekend in the presence of musicians who are considered to be the best in the whole wide world at their instruments? Wintergrass was one of weekends. We were completely prepared to be blown away by young prodigies like Chris Thile and the Infamous Stringdusters. We were expecting the brilliant presence of artists like Darrell Scott and Doyle Lawson. What shocked the hell out of us was Mike Marshall and Hamilton de Holanda.

Not a huge week in music, but hey, it's a holiday. Stay home and eat! Then put your sweatpants on!
