\"OF15_Poster_Date\"<\/a>Celebrating one year before a tenth annual music festival might sound like the makings for a dud. After all, it\u2019s not quite a historic decade old and not quite brand new anymore. It might seem like 9 isn\u2019t much to celebrate, but, forget that idea. In fact, forget everything you\u2019ve integrated into memory besides this date:\u00a0 September 20th, 2014<\/strong>, the date for the 9th annual Otherfest<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Otherfest 9 has huge promise in its second year on highway 61, just north of the Cleveland, Mississippi city limits. Inside Otherfest 9, you\u2019ll find the Delta\u2019s first original music festival that hosts unsigned and indie label bands from across the nation. 20 of them, in fact, on two stages in an all day, noon \u2018til midnight event.\u00a0 Headliners for this year\u2019s festival include the Soil & the Sun<\/strong>, a seven piece melodic rock band with an accompanying string section from Grand Rapids, Michigan, and Quiet Company<\/strong>, a pop rock band from Austin, Texas, who has taken home multiple awards from the Austin Music Awards including Album of the Year and Best Overall Band. Regional acts include: A Scarlet Empire<\/strong> from Clarksdale, Mississippi; The Holy Ghost Electric Show<\/strong> and Bella Machine<\/strong>, both out of Oxford, Mississippi; Light Beam Rider<\/strong> from Corinth, Mississippi; blues act Bill Abel<\/strong> from Duncan, Mississippi; and Fides<\/strong>, Jessica Faith<\/strong>, and Water Spaniel<\/strong>, all Delta State University DMI transplants from around the state\/region; and Will Griffith<\/strong>, a hometown hero of Cleveland.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

\"CampOtherfest\"<\/a>Otherfest will also host various food trucks from the region including Hey Joe’s, Mosquito Burrito, Delta Meat Market, and Southern Wildfire Pizza Company. Also, artists Will Jacks<\/strong> and Michael Foster<\/strong> will make available tintype portrait photos throughout the night at Otherfest.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, Otherfest 9 will remain true to the tradition of free camping for all festival-goers and, with help from Keep Cleveland Boring<\/strong><\/a>, a not-for-profit organization that promotes the entertainment scene in Cleveland, the festival remains dedicated to putting on the festival at an extremely reasonable price. $18 to be exact, rain or shine (10 and younger get in free).<\/span><\/p>\n

Without a doubt, Otherfest will be something to not only remember, but to get excited about. Dud, shmud. To use a term that was popular when Otherfest was brand new, this 9th year annual music festival will be straight \u201cwicked.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n
