Reggae group DubConscious, roots artist Cas Haley, the audio visual experience known as Phadroid and the Human Experience and Mindelixir will also perform.
A solid lineup from top to bottom, expect an intimate look at some great local and regional talent with Bookworm, Futexture, Skytree, Panther God, Isness, Aligning Minds, Arpetrio, and Greenhouse Lounge rounding out what is shaping up to be one of the best festivals on the East Coast.
The Festival of Gnarnia, utilizing a play on words from the popular children's novel and subsequent movie series with a gnarly twist, promises a variety of events including a costume ball, mud wrestling, workshops, performing arts, hikes and lodging rentals.
Ski lifts will be running to the top of the mountain for revelers to partake in yoga workshops, meditation and merely just to watch the sunset and enjoy the view. The resort also features a number of restaurants, clubs and bars along with a variety of cabins, chalets and slope-side vacation rentals for those wishing to stay off-site.
