The eclectic lineup for the Nateva Music And Camping Festival included some big names from both the jam and indie rock genres, and made for an interesting experience for fans from both musical worlds.

This is the first of a three-part series of posts covering the Nateva Music & Camping Festival in Oxford, Maine July 2-4. Read on for a full photo gallery (I mean it, there are tons of photos after the jump…) featuring moe., Ghostland Observatory, Felice Brothers, Jakob Dylan, and many more artists from the first […] It’ll take at least a day or two to get everything together for the full writeup on Nateva Festival, but for now I put a few of my photos up for you to check out.

Through collaborators, backing bands, and both coasts, the project is essentially a one-man operation. One the eve of the Peapod Recordings debut of Molly’s Jungle (though tonight it’s actually labelmates Honey Clouds‘ party, the album will be available at the SPACE gallery show), I spent some time learning more about […] Last Friday, May 21, we had a show at Slainte in Portland that included Kyle Wilson of the Brooklyn band Milagres, Selbyville, and Jakob Battick & Friends (in their last full band show until September).

Read on for photos! […] In conjunction with the announcement that they’re launching a record label, our friends at [dog] and [pony] released an excellent video of their newly-signed act from Bangor, Good Kids Sprouting Horns. They’re definitely a band on the rise in Maine, and it’s interesting to have their development documented in this way. Check out the video […] Yesterday I had the pleasure of taking a tour through the new Bayside Bowl with owner Charlie Mitchell (pictured above). It’s a 12-lane bowling alley located at 58 Alder Street in the Bayside neighborhood of Portland.
