Just when we think it would be impossible to expand Big Ears…
Big Ears will be celebrating 10 years when it returns March 30 – April 2, 2023. Announced here is the first wave of programs scheduled for the weekend. Festival passes will go on sale Wednesday, September 14, at 9:00 AM.
The festival is adding the Civic Auditorium to its venue list for the super-popular acts. Names that jump off the announcement page—but certainly not limited to— include jazz legends like saxophonist Charles Lloyd, Christian McBride, and William Parker; banjo virtuoso Béla Fleck, Rickie Lee Jones, Los Lobos, Iron & Wine, Andrew Bird, The Mountain Goats, Devendra Banhart, Bonny Light Horseman, Kevin Morby, Son Lux, and The Weather Station.
