ANDERS OSBORNE
New Orleans-based singer-songwriter Anders Osborne and the funky jam band Lettuce will co-headline this year’s edition of the free, annual Maplewoodstock Festival, taking place at Memorial Park in Maplewood on July 11-12. Also, the Nashville “groove grass” band Slap Dragon and Megan Jean’s Secret Family, featuring singer Megan Jean Klay, are booked as “featured acts” on Day 1 and Day 2, respectively.
The festival, which was founded in 2004, features food and art vendors, a beer garden and a Kid Zone in addition to the music. In honor of the 250th anniversary of the birth of the United States, this year, there will also be an art gallery with the theme of “Independence: Your Story — An Artistic Spin on 250 Years.”
