Rooster Walk Returns to Pop’s Farm

“Come on and join our convoy
Ain’t nothin’ gonna get in our way
We gonna roll this truckin’ convoy
‘Cross the USA”

You’re back in Virginia so it’s time to trade your skid loader for a weed eater. The dye is cast and the lineup is set for Rooster Walk Music and Art Festival 2022 and it’s time to get the convoy rolling again to Pop’s Farm in beautiful Axton, Virginia. Music, art, dancing, fun, Kamp Happiness, chemical imbalance, Boston and an overload of secret stage lighting waits for you on the mountain. Get ready for all the fun stuff just don’t get hit in the head by a seven pound acorn. You could seriously lose third grade.

“There is no way you could be from my loins.”

The Rooster fam is planning to go bigger than ever, and you can count on all the RW staples at this one, from amazing music, to food and craft vendors, kids’ activities, on-site camping and outdoor activities! Come visit the relaxation station at the Kamp Happines Hobo Kamp as we paint and build all the dumb fun stuff. Ever try an elephant tranquilizer? It brings out the artist in everyone.

And there was something about hearing Little Feat songs. Celebrating Waiting For Columbus? Yes please. Good times. And Andy Frasco? What is this absolute fresh hell of which you speak? He’s the sanest one in that band and a complete dumpster fire. Who remembers that Sunday FloydFest show after the rain? Yaaaa. Crazy people are lively and fun. En route to the Roanoke airport, Andy and Casey attempted to subdue the driver and steal the artist transpo van. That is a true but unprovable fact.

Tickets still available for Rooster Walk 12. Memorial Day. Check out the VIP shit as well. The guys that run it are complete Virginia trash and do a first-class job. Impossible to even look at them without laughing.

“Soon as I get home, first thing I’m gonna do is punch yo mama right in the mouth.”

Don’t forget your compression socks. Call Steve Little for further information. World’s worst Lockn’ ambassador? You be the judge.

Visit the Rooster Walk website and like their social media sites on Facebook and Instagram. Keep up with the interweb. The future is now.

This article has been sponsored by the truck with the Carolina squat or the Tennessee tilt. Thanks Roy Cooper. Keep up with the wranglers as we try to find some kind of job at Okeechobee. Whatever. Florida festival season continues with Tommy Thermometer and Grassroots at Virginia Key, and a Suwannee season that promises to break the dyke. Brainquility, Rising, Spring, Resonate and the Tipper show should be enough to tip the scales. That is a hoot nanny of a party.

See you on the mountain. Pocket knives don’t start EZ-Go golf carts.
