High Sierra Music Festival music line up will include My Morning Jacket, Ween, Neko Case, Maceo Parker, Gillian Welch, Warren Hayes Band and over forty other artists.

“High Sierra has always been a fan of musical endeavors,” said Hank Bernbaum, president of High Sierra Sport Company. “I’m personally on the board of Old Town School of Folk Music as well as other Musical activities. Plus with a name like the High Sierra Music Festival, it is no doubt that it fits nicely with our corporate energy of being in tune with our customers! We provide the bag, you provide the adventure.”

During the High Sierra Music Festival, High Sierra Sport Company will run a booth displaying new products for the season as well as offering games and product giveaways for consumers. In addition, each music performer will receive a High Sierra Brewster backpack.

High Sierra’s Brewster is ideal for anyone looking for style, function, organization, and storage, all with one great bag at the music festival. The bag has an insulated cooler compartment to keep beverages cold. It also has a separate, CUSHION ZONE padded computer compartment with a built in frame sheet to protect a 17” notebook computer.

High Sierra Music Festival co-producer Dave Margulies says, “High Sierra Sport Company has a great understanding of the impact of music in merchandising its products to consumers. The Festival is an ultimate proving ground for brands to capitalize on these types of unique exposure opportunities to consumers.”

High Sierra Music Festival is celebrating its 21st annual. Total attendance is expected to be approximately 10,000 people at the Festival. The four-day Festival features an eclectic mix of some of the most famous national and international names in jazz, newgrass, bluegrass and other improvisational music forms such as jamband music.

Away from the music stages, patrons can attend workshops and exercise classes, shop for arts and crafts, or enjoy a wide variety of food and drink.
