Ted Lehmann does Merlefest

Event Details

The festival has reported that more than 70,000 people had been on site for the event through last Saturday, and updated attendance totals are expected soon for the full four days.

Ted also attended the Merlefest Jam Camp, and has many photos from there as well.

Be sure to visit his site repeatedly over the next few days, as he is still posting new photos and commentary while he decompresses from the trip.
