Muddy Roots Music Festival is an outdoor camping festival held in Cookeville, Tennessee. Active since 2010, the festival usually hosts country, bluegrass, psychobilly and punk rock bands, some of which associated with the Muddy Roots music label. The early editions also hosted car shows and pin-up pageants along with a slowly expanding variety of music, a theme Muddy Roots prides itself on. All editions of the festival to date have been held at the June Bug Boogie Ranch, where attendees are allowed free camping and BYOB alongside a wide variety of vendors between the various stages.
Notably in the 2018 edition the festival's first announced bands would be Sleep and High on Fire along with several other stoner and doom acts as a turning point and an expansion on what most would expect of the festival. Since then the festival has managed a stage of bands in the stoner and doom metal genres, also expanding even further on their theme of variety, drawing in reggae, hip-hop, thrash metal and more by the 2019 edition. The 2020 edition would notably announce a stage specifically for stoner and doom metal.
Along with the main festival Muddy Roots also has several spin-off festivals such as Muddy Roots Music Festival Europe in Belgium (Since 2012), The Muddy Roots Spring Weekender (Since 2013), Nashville Boogie (Since at least 2018) and Southern Gothic Campout (Since 2019) among other spin-offs.
2010[]
The inaugural Muddy Roots Music Festival would be held between 28 and 30 May 2010, the only edition of the main festival to be hosted in May. The inaugural edition featured 32 bands over two stages, a car show, bike rally (An event the June Bug Boogie Ranch is commonly known for) and a pinup contest.[1]
Retroactively the inaugural edition has been described as a "small, 300 person festival".
