MCGILL, NV (CelebrityAccess) – The Schellraiser Music Festival will take place June 1-3 near the small town of Ely, NV, surrounded by stunning desert scenery and the majestic Schell Creek mountain range. Headliners at this year’s festival come with Blonde Redhead, Puppets, Asleep at the Wheel, The Joy Formidable, Blitzen Trapper, Murder By Death and more.
This is the year of the festival’s moment: in the first edition, Old 97’s, Houndmouth, BRONCHO and more than 25 other artists performed at McGill Pool Park in Salt Lake City. In the intimate setting, Schellraiser 2022 introduced festival-goers and live music enthusiasts to the rare possibility of interacting and interacting with each other in an herbal setting. Event founder Rudy Herndon said, “Old 97 frontman Rhett Miller announced that the lineup is probably the most productive I’ve ever seen, and guitarist Ken Bethea gave us the highest compliment by comparing the overall vibe to Marfa, Texas. . . “
Schellraiser created and is one hundred percent arranged through Herndon, who has lived in Eastern Nevada since 2006 and is passionate about bringing more music and culture to Steptoe Valley. So, in 2019, he quit his job as a journalist and dug up to make Schellraiser a reality. He says the vibe “reflects our love for independent and select music, from country to cumbia, from punk to pop and from soul to psychedelia. “
After finding inspiration to start a festival after attending the Trans Pecos of Music Love Festival in Marfa, he saw the potential. the kind of crowds, trends, social pressures and pretensions that plague larger-scale festivals. “Herndon says the festival’s short length not only encourages greater interaction among festival-goers; It also minimizes the effects of traffic, overcrowding and tea.
To further disrupt local traffic, the festival is partnering with the Ely Shoshone tribe’s Tsaa Nesunkwa hash dispensary to offer loose rides aboard the unique Canna-Bus. The bus will transport festival-goers between the festival venue and the tribal clinic, as well as other stops at Ely and the 80-acre Schellraiser camp.
The off-grid festival camp is home to the largest private solar array in the area. A solar battery garage formula helps keep the lights on in 10 camps developed after sunset.
Herndon also hopes to revive the culture through the revival of the historic, abandoned McGill Theatre near Ely. The mixed-use allocation aims to repair the main auditorium for film screenings, concerts and other special events, while creating a second, smaller auditorium. for screenings of classic, international, independent and auteur films.
