Owlfest is a homegrown festival that started as a group of like minded bands and their friends in the desert, and has evolved and expanded over nine years of festivities.  Over twenty acts grace the Owlfest stages over a three day event with camping, vendors, and activities.  Owlfest 8 took place at the Blue Mountain Event Center up in Wilseyville, CA, and Taper Jim McLain was there to document several of the acts’ performances.
