New artists have been announced for the Nelsonville Music Festival, adding to the already buff lineup of Wilco and John Prine.
Artists joining the festival May 30-June 2 include Calexico; He’s My Brother, She’s My Sister; The Coup; and Michael Hurley.
Calexico is a well-known Tex-Mex indie rock band that gets its name from the California border town where its members grew up. The band is based in Arizona and has made it onto the Billboard 200 charts with its EP In The Reins, recorded with Iron & Wine.
Michael Hurley is a Pennsylvania native who has been playing guitar and fiddle since 1965 and has 23 albums under his belt.
The Coup is a political hip-hop group out of California, an unusual choice for the folk-dominated festival. Its newest album, Sorry to Bother You,
does not use any samples and is performed with full instrumentation live.
