Here’s the story:

Last week, as I realized how quickly another summer was beginning to fade, I started to seek out one last weekend bash complete with everything that these short and sweet months provide. Thanks to some strong convincing from a friend, I made the last-minute decision to head to the Trinumeral Festival outside Asheville, NC, and man, was it one hell of a party! It was the perfect combination of location, weather, and solid performances that I will not soon forget.

Besides having top performers like GZA, Lotus, Galactic, and Particle, Trinumeral also featured numerous DJ’s including DJ Bowie and Eliot Lipp, as well as some local heroes that have grown out of the ever-expanding southeast scene like Dubconscious, Yo Mama’s Big Fat Booty Band, and Seepeoples. Deerfields, NC became the perfect setting for this small festival. Besides the two swimming ponds and plentiful shade that kept everyone cool during the day, the whole valley was decked out with some amazing artwork, not only from the festival designers and organizers, but also from the many talented artists in attendance.
