The Nelsonville Music Festival is a Music Festival that takes place in Nelsonville, OH every year. With this year being the 15th year it has taken place. All money raised during the festival goes to Opera House. Which in turns helps with the art programs in the area. Some 60 plus bands performed over a 4-day period. With many of the bands performing on more one stage. The stages run the for-type concert stage you can see at any event. To an old school room with no electric. The front pouch of the Gladden House with is run by WOUB.Org. The Gladden House is a special stage where Nelsonville Music Festival artists can have an intimate interview and performance in a beautiful public space
The Gladden House and the Gladden House Sessions come from an idea that artists can stop by outside of their scheduled performance time for this short 10-minute interview/performance.
The other stage is an old train .
The AV Club and Ohio Magazine have named NMF as the “Best Music Festival in Ohio”, and Time Out Chicago has called it “one of the Midwest’s best festivals”. Past performers have included Wilco, The Flaming Lips, Willie Nelson, Loretta Lynn, Gillian Welch, John Prine, The Avett Brothers, George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic, Randy Newman, Ween, Merle Haggard, They Might Be Giants, Emmylou Harris, Dinosaur Jr., Iron & Wine, Yo La Tengo, George Jones, Courtney Barnett, and many more. The Nelsonville Music Festival is a production of Stuart’s Opera House, a historic, non-profit theater located in Nelsonville that features over 75 events a year including live music, theater, films, educational programming and more.
