What our Stompers say

“Rustic Stomp has just the right mix of family-friendly fun and real roots music. We camped with the kids, danced on the hoedown floor and discovered some amazing new bands.”

“From the fiddle to the banjo, the four-stage setup kept us entertained from Friday to Sunday. The vibe is relaxed, welcoming and full of great musicianship.”
