Their definition of "Americana" and "roots" music includes a variety of genres -- bluegrass, blues, jam bands, folk, country, gospel, and singer-songwriter (usually with bands). The festival features about 30 bands on four stages as well as performance workshops from many of our festival musicians. For instance, OSMF has had workshops by Bela Fleck, Peter Rowan, Marty Stuart, Tim O'Brien, Chris Thile, and more. This nationally known festival is held at Salt Lick Pavilion and Camp Ben McCulloch, just minutes south of Austin. At the height of the Texas wildflower season, the campgrounds and Pavilion setting are beautiful.



The 2010 festival will be held April 15th-18th, 2010. On Thursday there is a “Settle In” show at the Campground, while Friday and Saturday feature three stages at the Salt Lick Pavilion, and Sunday closes the event with a gospel band, followed by eclectic mix of festival artists.
