Arguably the best festival of the summer, almost 20,000 people descended on the small Minnesota town of Detroit Lakes, for 10,000 Lakes Festival on July 19-22, 2006. The fourth year of this festival featured more of a jamband scene than previously, and included many top favorite acts and many regional artists, on the permanent fairground facilities that hosts the very large country music festival, We Fest.
Approximately 5,000 fans attended the Wanee Music Festival held Friday and Saturday, April 14 and 15, in Live Oak, Florida at the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park.
The day after the release of Mountain Tracks Volume 4, the fourth release of their live series from independent label Frog Pad Records Yonder Mountain String Band performed at the historic Tampa Theatre, with opening act Tony Furtado.
