George Clinton and
Parliament Funkadelic
Tallahassee, FL
George Clinton is the legendary and internationally
renowned grandfather of funk and the founder
of the Parliament-Funkadelic MOB, taking the
sonic innovations of James Brown and Sly Stone
into outer space, while selling millions of records
and concert tickets in the process. In May 1997,
George Clinton and 15 other members of Parliament
Funkadelic were inducted into the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame, the largest band yet inducted. In
2004, Rolling Stone Magazine ranked Parliament
Funkadelic #56 on their list of the “100 Greatest
Artists of All Time.” In February 2002, Spin
Magazine ranked P-Funk #6 on their list of the “50
Greatest Bands of All Time.” P-Funk’s effect on
modern popular music is immense. Besides their
innovation in the entire genre of funk music, George
Clinton and P-Funk are often heard today, especially
in hip-hop sampling. Join us at the Bicentennial
Center for a blow-out SHOW!! See pg. 40 for details

Good Lovelies
Toronto, ON, Canada
Funny and upbeat, with just a pinch of sass, the
Good Lovelies’ textbook three-part harmonies,
constant instrument swapping, and witty on-stage
banter have enlivened the folk music landscape
since 2006. Lighthearted songwriting and
irresistibly buoyant dispositions have made them
the darlings of the summer festival circuit. With
equal parts city and country, highway and home,
wistfulness and sass, the Good Lovelies’ good
humor and self-assurance shines through.

come to the Festival from the avid bicycle
enthusiasts and collectors who are members
of The Coasters Bicycle Club of Wichita.

they grew here? Are they cocoons of some giant

exoskeletons of extraterrestrial insects? Could they
be fantastical pheasants hung by the campfire, or
colorful dragon larvae? Let your imagination guide

The 35th Anniversary seems a most appropriate time to reflect on the Festival’s commitment to present
the highest quality juried art and craft venues. National networking and continual dialogue with show

and a professional atmosphere for artists. I would like to thank a group of artists who have offered
valuable insight and discussion toward maintaining the reputation of our shows: Terry Maxwell,

Millard & Mollie Ebelhare, Masonville, CO; Gillian Kemper, Oklahoma City, OK; Corozon Watkins,
