ACL Fest has its marquee acts and South By Southwest has its sheer volume, but the Old Settler’s Music Festival has weathered nearly three decades by marching to the beat of its own drum. The nationally-renowned bluegrass and folk festival will be celebrating its twenty-fifth anniversary this weekend with performances by Iron & Wine, Amos Lee, Sarah Jarosz, and much, much more.
