For ten years, Camp Bisco has been thinning the herd in upstate New York, offering a well-curated selection of independent acts culled from the closely connected worlds of jam band, indie rock, electronica and whatever sub-genre doesn’t really matter anymore since music is free.
But even with a reasonable sized line-up (about 60 acts over three days) and modest attendance (around 15K), you still might need some help planning your days at Bisco. For that, we offer five selections you couldn’t bribe us to miss this weekend. …MORE
