Iowa jam-band natives Euforquestra have announced the dates for the 12th annual “Camp Euforia” music festival, held every year in Lone Tree, Iowa. This year’s festival will take place July 16–18, with this year marking the first time the event has been taken to three days, with the addition of what the band is calling a “Thursday pre-party.” As to what that entails, your guess is still as good as any. The band did, however, also announce ticket prices for the event, with tickets to just the Friday/Saturday festival dates selling for $75, and tickets that include the full three days running $85. Lineup news and further announcements will be noted here as they come, or you can just go check out www.campeuforia.com and keep hitting refresh.

This week’s (shamelessly selfish) Pick o’ the Week is at Gas Lamp on Saturday, Dec. 27, when you can come down and help celebrate my birthday, with my third annual birthday show. Playing this year’s lineup are Eli Clark, Stutterin’ Jimmy & The Goosebumps, Randy Burk & The Prisoners and Brother Trucker. Show starts at 9 p.m and $5 gets you in the door. Mahalo. CV
