Lineup Announced for Fitzgerald's American Music Festival

Summertime, cold beers and American music. Now we're talkin'. 

FitzGerald's has announced the artists for the 32nd Annual American Music Festival, and it's a lineup jam-packed with smartly curated roots, soul, folk, country, alt-country, polka, zydeco, bluegrass and blues acts. And so much more. Did we mention the Blue Ribbon Glee Club perorming a cappella punk rock? Or Tributosaurus performing as CCR? 

The festival will take place on three stages over the course of four days — Friday June 29 through Sunday July 1 and then ending with big July 3 throwdown. 

Tickets are $30 per day, with no advanced single-day tickets sold. Early birds can save $5 by showing up within the first hour of the doors opening. Four day passes are available for $100 at www.ticketweb.com. Bringing the kids? That's cool. Tickets for kids 12 and under are $5, but they can only stay until 9 p.m each night. Here's a look at the lineup:
