Owlfest X, tenth year of this homegrown festival in the California hills, this year was Beatles themed and most bands covered a Beatles song in that spirit. Over twenty-five acts grace the Owlfest stages over a three-day event with camping, vendors, and activities. Owlfest 10 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.
