Nitty Gritty Dirt Band . Those are only a few of the great musical acts coming your way on four stages at this unique event .
Saturday night headliner Creedence Clearwater Revisited includes founding members of CCR , Stu Cook and Doug “ Cosmo ” Clifford , who were recently inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame .
G Fest ( Muskogee is “ The Gee ”) was partly made possibly by the work of Jim Blair , executive director of the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame in Muskogee .
“ What makes G Fest special - aside from taking place on an abandoned air strip , and Oklahoma ’ s rich music history - is that there ’ s something for everyone . Music lovers will find a little bit of everything from bluegrass to country , rock to folk and even EDM [ electronic dance music ] this year ,” Blair told The Current Buzz .
Though the line-up for the event is full of nationallyknown artists , Oklahoma artists and bands will also be featured , as a special call was made for them .
Oklahoma favorite Mike Hosty will be on stage as his popular one-man band , playing drums with his feet , guitar and singing , while playing the harmonica . Hosty says he has a “ huge underground following of bikers , sorority gals , hippies and truckers .”
Camping is available in both a primitive campground with showers for $ 80 and at an RV campsite with electric and water for $ 325 .
Options for tickets include VIP reserved seats , which guarantee seats closest to the stage and other perks . General admission tickets are $ 89 for the whole event , and VIP seats are $ 299 .
G Fest happens rain or shine . For more information and ticketing , visit www . gfestmuskogee . com or find G Fest on Facebook .
