GrassRoots Fest 2014 - Who I'm Excited to See

It's that special time of the year again! The Finger Lakes GrassRoots Festival of Music and Dance is fast approaching and this year's lineup is just as amazing as you'd expect. There are dozens amazing bands on the bill, but here are a few I'm looking forward to catching:

Lake Street Dive - If you haven't heard these guys yet, it's about time you have. I saw them for the first time a little over a year ago and they've been one of my favorite new bands ever since. Their recent release, Bad Self Portraits, has catapulted them towards mainstream fame with good reason. I love it when talented musicians get their due.

Joe Driscoll and Sekou Kouyate - When musical powers from disparate worlds come together, it speaks to the true testament of how music unites us through a common language. These two musicians are as great an example of that phenomenon as you will find bridging the gap between the US and Conakry, Guinea with music as their only guide.

Locos Por Juana - I couldn't be more pumped to see Locos Por Juana back at GrassRoots again. These guys are a latin dance party explosion waiting to happen, and GrassRoots couldn't be a better place for them to do their thing.

John Brown's Body - These guys are a GrassRoots institution, and they kill it every year. Seeing them on such a big stage in such a great atmosphere really brings out their potential to shine. I look forward to seeing them every year without a doubt.

GrassRoots is a special event. Such a beautiful gathering of happy people to dance and play together. If you haven't been yourself, consider making this year your first!

EFFECTIVE LOVE SPELLS TO GET EX HUSBAND/BOYFRIEND OR EX WIFE/GIRLFRIEND AND CURE INFERTILITY THAT WORKS WITHIN 24 HOURS.  Contact Dr. Odunga at odungaspelltemple@gmail.com OR Whats App/CALL +2348167159012
I got my ex husband back to me and also got fertile and gave birth to twins girls after 12 years of marriage.
When I came online last year, I met a testimony about Doctor ODUNGA how he has been helping people with marriage issues and I decided to contact him. We spoke on email at odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and later he gave me his Whats App number which is +2348167159012. He assured me he would help me get my ex husband back after 3 years of no contact. Doctor Odunga is the best spell caster I must say. My husband called me after 24 hours of contact. The third day, I received natural herbs for fertility and after using it, I became fertile and conceived. I and my husband reconnected, had sex and I was pregnant. Presently I am happy to say I am the mother of twins girls and this is ALL THANKS TO DOCTOR ODUNGA. I came online to say this If you need help, I believe you are saved with this man. Contact his email at odungaspelltemple@gmail.com OR Whats App/Call +2348167159012 and you too will give a testimony too to help others
