Wakarusa was a muddy, wild mess. Over the course of the four day festival, which took place from May 30 through June 2 at Mulberry Mountain in rural Franklin County, I took about 800 photos. Here are some of the best of them. [Show as slideshow]

Murder by Death photo by Greg Whitaker Touring behind the September album “Bitter Drink, Bitter Mood,” Indiana band Murder by Death continues offering desolate, brooding anthems in their latest work. Currently on a tour that will bring them to George’s Majestic Lounge tonight (June 4), the band has called its sound “dark whiskey devil music.” Tickets for the 8:30 p.m.

Dispatch on the main stage at Wakarusa. All photos by KEVIN KINDER, NWA Media. If there was a motto for the second day (May 31) of Wakarusa, it was this: Muddy, but determined.

Dispatch Chad Urmston remembers thinking if he was playing at his last show with Dispatch, that would be alright. That was more than 10 years ago. But time softened the distance between the band members, and Urmston can now look fondly on what the band accomplished. What Dispatch did in four short years was create a fanbase and several well-received albums.

Sauce Boss Well, we know not EVERYONE is at Wakarusa. So, what should you do if you’re still in Fayetteville or Rogers or somewhere near? See some live music, of course. And, maybe grab a bite to eat, too?

But don’t tell that to the thousands who are already onsite, including those who are currently listening to the Missouri jam/jug band called Ben Miller Band (I can hear them from my campsite as I type this). We’ll start blogging the day’s highlights in the early afternoon. Until then, think of a couple bands you want to see and make your way down here.
