The bible of all things alt-country and Americana has gone through some transitions in the last few years. Like many in the media business, declining ad revenues forced the 13 year old magazine out of print in June, 2008, leaving the No Depression down but not out.
Relaunched as an online community for music fans (especially those of the Americana flavor) No Depression is pushing on and are celebrating with a summer festival in Redmond, Washington.
Acts including, The Swell Season, Lucinda Williams, Cave Singers and Alejandro Escovedo converge on Aug. 21, 2010, at Marymoor Park. Pre-sale tickets are available 10 a.m. Thursday 4/29 until 10 p.m. Friday 4/30. General ticket sales kick off on May 1.
