Portland, OR’s  Pickathon Roots Music Festival will take place from August 3-5 at Pendarvis Farm. One of the northwest’s premiere music festivals, the annual gathering focuses on “indie-Roots music,” a genre the Pickathon Roots Music Festival defines “as the subjective and diverse intersections of indie-rock, singer/songwriter, and a variety of traditional music styles (i.e. Bluegrass, Blues, Folk, Country, Swing, etc.).” This summer the festival will expand to three days, boasting a diverse mix of artists including the Avett Brothers, The Wood Brothers, The Gourds, Erin McKeown, Dale Watson, Gregory and the Hawk, Martha Scanlan, Handsome Family, Langhorne Slim, Horse Feathers, Chatham County Line, Jason Webley and Hacienda Brothers, among others. As part of the warm-up to the 2007 festival, Pickathon also created the first ever festival video game entitled “Lob Stuff at the Lurker,”which is now available online. The festival’s inaugural offering was nominated for the 2007 “Festie” award in the category of “Most Scenic Festival Setting.” For more information please visit www.pickathon.com .
