PREVIEW:Grand Point North Music Festival

Grace Potter hosts the 2015 Grand Point North music festival September 12 and 13 at Burlington, Vermont’s Waterfront Park.  On the shores of Lake Champlain, Burlington’s Waterfront Park offers an idyllic setting for the family-friendly festival.  The festival offers music on two side-by-side stages with alternating performances, enabling festivals goers to catch every note.  The opening bands are hand-picked by Grace and are always an amazing addition to the headline talent.  The intimate size of the festival guarantees attendees will be able to experience all that it has to offer.

Each night will close with a full set from Potter's new band, featuring both new and old faces.   This year's lineup  of local and regional acts performing include  Madaila, Soule Monde, Heavy Plains, Maryse Smith w/ Michael Chorney, The Snaz, Barishi, and Mal Maiz.
