While day one of the MeadowGrass Music Festival was devoted to indie rock acts like Magnolia Electric Co. (see feature, p. 63) and Sarah Borges & the Broken Singles, today's lineup is a decidedly rootsier affair. Nestling among 400 acres of pines at the La Foret Conference and Retreat Center (6145 Shoup Road) will be venerable headliner Peter Rowan and his Free Mexican Airforce, along with Sons and Brothers, Jimmy Ibbotson, Head for the Hills and Rissman, Uveges and Braithwaite. Gates open at 11, with single-day tickets going for $30 advance, $40 day of show. Visit meadowgrass.org for more info and to learn about the environmentally friendly carload rate, which could severely cut into profits if there's a big clown turnout. — Bill Forman
