Bonnaroo “23: Join the Fray

Experience by Brian Hensley, Bonnaroo 2022

What’s happenin’ Captain? Welcome back to Manchester, Tennessee and the de evolution of the human condition. according to Ka’aoli the wise. In the unwritten parchment of the Bonnaroovian Chronicles the prophet Ka’aoli would predict that somewhere near Rutledge Falls a curvy lady would find a stagehand sexy only because he had a hammock hung under The What Stage. These are certainly strange times and In a world of pain and strife the 2023 festival season continues to improve with each subsequent line up drop. The hits just keep coming and there’s nowhere left to hide. Bonnaroo brings another year of slam-dunk, eclectic across the board music and fun with this year’s promise of the extreme. It’s the Bonnaroo “23: Join the Fray. It’s the season of the wook.

It was a brief but bright run for Lucy and the Iceman last year as they skirted the finest of lines between festival staff superstars and criminal degenerate reprobates. There was a lost computer and some pitifully sad, waffle-stompin’ goodness but the overall vibe was one of powerful, energetic, collaborative good times. There’s plenty of ground to cover and after you’ve made the trip around Outeroo, things will never be the same.        And maybe that’s not a bad thing.
