Dawg Daze of Summer Festival in Missouri Happening Next Weekend!

It’s been quite a summer. Heat waves all over the country, flooding in North Dakota and here in the Pacific Northwest it’s been rainy and cloudy making us wonder if we’ll ever actually get a summer. Whatever the weather, folks are determined to have a good time and there have been great music festivals happening all over the country. We’re super stoked to be ticketing a bunch of them.

One that caught my eye was The Dawg Daze of Summer Festival at Lake Paradise Resort in Lone Jack, Missouri starting next Thursday, August 4. Not only do they have 40 bluegrass, blues, funk and rock bands on 4 stages, it’s all taking place at a resort that has access to five picturesque lakes with plenty of fishing. Need more encouragement? How about open acoustic jam sessions, organic food vendors, putt-putt golf, volley ball, shuffle board, bounce houses and other activities for the kiddies. There will even be roving actors acting out a fictional hillbilly feud with a soundtrack performed by hillbilly band The Fall Down Drunks. And how about this? A portion of the proceeds will go to benefit tornado victims in Joplin, Missouri, Community Radio Station KKFI 90.1 FM and Embrace Smiles of Kansas City. So you and the kids can have fun, listen to some great music AND support a good cause. Seems like a no-brainer to me.

BPT’s Summer Music Festival Guide

Through the tiny window in the Event Promotions office, a ray of light penetrates the Brown Paper Tickets basement offices. It hurts my eyes to look at. It’s something that I haven’t seen for many months. What could it be? I think it’s sunshine! That tells me one thing, summer is coming. Time to break out the sunglasses and the shorts and get out there and do some outdoor living.

The sunshine also heralds the beginning of summer music festival season and, let me tell you, we’re ticketing tons of great festivals all over the country. From classical concerts to jam bands to indie rock, it’s all represented here and while my list is probably far from complete, I’ve included some of the festivals that caught my eye.
