Down County Jump Music Festival

Brought to you by members of the curator team of Old Tone Roots Music Festival comes a new daylong musical odyssey dedicated to a very particular sound. A tone that hangs over high wide mountain tops, sinking down into narrow hollers, and wading through damp winding bayous. A sound that stumbles into the hooch-houses of Storyville and around the smokey tables of Chez Florence. It wafts over the lush breezy islands of the Pacific and Caribbean and it roars in the swirling swollen ocean itself that connects them all: a syncopated melodic longing that can’t be restrained. A grainy, warm, spirited Voodoo vibrato that pulses with soul and sass through decade after decade of music from the Americas and their surrounding ports of call.
