This Saturday the 2nd Annual Geronimo Music Festival will take place all around Downtown Lafayette....think SXSW, but all in 1 day and in Lafayette. Since there's going to be over 40 bands on at least 5 different stages, we're going to devote a column to it each day. This is how one of the festival organizers Teddy Lamson describe it:"Geronimo Music Festival is dedicated to help expand the community's involvement in the music scene by exploring other types of music from around the Gulf Coast region! We are determined to show Lafayette that through their support of the local independent music scene we can in turn help downtown development of all the arts. Geronimo Productions is geared towards inspiring people to get up and be active, creative, and productive and support the musicians that are right here in the area!
Sure we have festivals that do that such as Festival Internationale and Black Pot, etc but THIS particular one is focused on all those over-looked other types of music. We want to expand the minds of South Louisiana and develop a tight-knit musical community that will grow into something spectacular to unite people of all varieties."

And be sure to listen to The Medicine Ball Caravan at 11am tomorrow on KRVS to hear the organizers talk more about the event with Cecil Doyle.
Full schedules will appear in this weeks Times and Independent.
