Boats are Encouraged to Fly Flags!

Let Your Freak Flag Fly!

This year our Fest is on Flag Day so we invite you to fly your flag of choice on your boat. Express your nationality, your originality, your individualtiy with a flag and, as the CSNY song says, “Let your Freak Flag Fly!”

As one Cow Cove resident said, "imagine every boat with a bunch of flags!" Indeed ... imagine a cove filled with colorfully-flagged boats, happy people, rockin' music, and good vibes!

Performer Highlight:

In this edition of your e-News, we shine the light on Underground Detour Band!

A devoted volunteer of Lake Wylie Music Fest, David Barnhardt is usually behind scenes helping with stage and sound or enjoying the house party happening on land. This year, he's bringing his band friends with him to open the Fest! Underground Detour Band plays the classic rock 'n roll you know from the 70's and 80's but their focus is on having fun. You'll catch that same spirit as the band gets us started on June 14th!

(On left is David taking a breather from production work as a volunteer at last year's Fest - in middle he's rockin' it out as drummer for Underground Detour Band - and right he's playing with the band at the legendary Double Door!)

"Almost cut my hair"

Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young

Almost cut my hair
It happened just the other day
It was gettin' kind of long
I coulda said it was in my way

But I didn't and I wonder why
I feel like letting my freak flag fly
Yes, I feel like I owe it to someone

Must be because I had the flu for Christmas
And I'm not feeling up to par
It increases my paranoia
Like looking in my mirror and seeing a police car

But I'm not giving in an inch to fear
'Cause I've promised myself this year
I feel like I owe it to someone

Woo!

When I finally get myself together
I'm gonna get down in that sunny southern weather

And I find a space inside to laugh
Separate the wheat from the chaff
I feel like I owe it to someone, yeah

If one person can do all of this, what can a whole team do?!!!!
