For its milestone 10th anniversary Maverick Festival is thrilled to announce the 2017 line-up.
This year Maverick Festival will take place from Friday 30th June – Sunday 2nd July 2017, showcasing the most authentic and talented Americana / Roots and Blues musicians from both sides of the Atlantic. Set amongst the picturesque Victorian farm buildings of Easton Farm Park, the site is nestled deep in the Suffolk countryside, yet only two hours from London. The festival presents music performances, film & workshops and features over forty different artists, across five stages indoors and out.
First up, we are very excited to welcome American award-winning singer-songwriter JUSTIN TOWNES EARLE to the festival line-up! Son of alternative country artist Steve Earle, Justin will be bringing his own mix of Americana, Folk and Blues to the Farm.
To help celebrate Canada Day on July 1st, Maverick are pleased to welcome back Juno Award winning East Coast songwriter Amelia Curran, as well hotly-tipped Canadian roots rocker Terra Lightfoot, who is sure to get the party started!
The festival brings an eclectic mix of styles to the Suffolk scene, with the lively New Orleans jazz street music from The Roamin’ Jasmine; alongside old-time bluegrass from Hot Rock Pilgrims. Maverick also welcomes UK Americana favourites Case Hardin to this year’s line-up.
Over the past decade Maverick Festival organisers have stuck to what they believe in, presenting exciting and inspiring line-ups year after year.
“We have looked back over the years and reached out to artists who particularly caught the imagination of past audiences – acts like The Henry Brothers, Stompin Dave Allen, Police Dog Hogan and Brooks Williams as well as keeping a sharp eye on the new generation of American torch bearers like Grammy nominated SIERRA HULL and JUSTIN TOWNES EARLE” PAUL SPENCER – Festival Director
The legendary award-winning instrumentalist BJ Cole will be returning with his band The Gold Nuggets, who will perform with many artists over the festival weekend.
