Werk Out Music and Arts Festival, Sept. 8-11

The Werk Out Festival
Central Ohio
Thursday-Sunday, September 8-11, 2011

Weekend Music & Camping Event Held at Zane Shawnee Caverns in Bellefontaine, Ohio Features Two Nights of The Werks, with Special Guests Dark Star Orchestra, EOTO, Kyle Hollingsworth Band, FREEKBOT, Johnny Neel & Dozens More!

Ohio’s up-and-coming jamband powerhouse, The Werks are thrilled to announce additional artists for the 2nd annual The Werk Out Festival, held Thursday through Sunday, September 8–11 at Zane Shawnee Caverns in Bellefontaine, Ohio. New artists include The New Mastersounds, Future Rock, Everyone Orchestra with Michael Kang of The String Cheese Incident, The Ragbirds & many more.

Building off the success of last year’s inaugural event, this year’s The Werk Out Festival gets even better with two nights of The Werks. The Werks are being joined by shadows of the Dead in the forms of Dark Star Orchestra and Donna Jean's band, and vapors of String Cheese Incident in EOTO and Kyle Hollingsworth, with a mirage of the Allman Brothers in keyboardist Johnny Neel, the Werks have tapped into the central line of the heart of the jam scene.

Fusing psychedelic and shredding guitar, a screaming classic rock organ, funk slap bass, and modern dance beats and synthesizers, festival hosts The Werks have created a style all of their own: ‘Psychedelic Dance Rock.’ Their highly unique and highly danceable grooves have earned them a devoted following, as well as invitations to perform at some of the nation’s largest festivals, including the All Good Festival, Electric Forest, Summer Camp and Wakarusa.

Over 60 Performers in 4 Days! Yellow Springs Bands include:

Blue Moon Soup, Soul Rebels, Wheels, Sport Fishing USA, and DJ Creepingbear
