Bear Shadow Brings the Heat with 2024 Lineup Headed by Black Pumas and JJ Grey & Mofro
With the release of its 2024 lineup, Bear Shadow festival has turned up the heat to a five-alarm fire. Set to take place May 11-12 on the bucolic grounds of Winfield Farms in Scaly Mountain, NC, the fourth iteration of the two-day event features Grammy-nominated duo Black Pumas and Southern soul powerhouse JJ Grey & Mofro leading a pack of remarkable talent, tilting heavily toward diverse articulations of rock including alt-rock, Southern rock, funkified rock, soulful rock, bluesy rock, and country rock.
Joining JJ Grey & Mofro on Saturday May 11 will be the incendiary, Grammy-nominated, Southern rock/blues outfit North Mississippi Allstars; alt-country band American Aquarium; and indie rockers Futurebirds. Sunday May 12 closes out with the passionate sounds of Black Pumas who will be supported by emotive guitarist/singer/songwriter Grace Bowers; alternative giants White Denim; and the blistering sounds of Grammy-nominated rockers The Record Company.
Produced by Highlands Festivals, Inc. and Eleven Events, the family-friendly festival is named for the bear-like shadow that appears behind the region’s Whiteside Mountain each fall and spring. Bear Shadow takes place in the serene environs of the Highlands/Cashiers Plateau in the northwestern corner of North Carolina’s mountains where attendees can engage in numerous outdoor activities like hiking, fly-fishing, mountain biking, and kayaking and canoeing the area’s lakes and rivers and more. Fans can also explore the quaint village of nearby Highlands, a popular mountain destination for southerners escaping the region’s heat for over a century.
Highlands Festivals, Inc. is a non-profit organization that also and produces the annual Highlands Food & Wine Festival, Bear Shadow’s wildly popular sister festival. The organization is dedicated to promoting Highlands, NC, as a year round culinary, retail, shopping and outdoor lifestyle destination.
“As we gear up for the fourth annual Bear Shadow festival, the allure of the Highlands area continues to be our muse, as evidenced in this year’s lineup,” shared Casey Reid, partner of Eleven Events and Festival Director. “We’re elated to present this stellar assembly of top-tiered artists this coming May, where the Highlands Plateau will once again play host to an extraordinary weekend of music and revelry, set against the majestic embrace of the Blue Ridge Mountains.”
