That’s right friends, we just announced phase 1 of the lineup for The Yard, (brought to you by The Most Definitely and Concord Music Group) and it is a doozy. The lineup includes a diverse list of musicians, so there will definitely be music that appeals to a wide variety of musical tastes.

Come join us March 16, 17, and 18 from noon-8 p.m. for 3 insane days of parties in the warm Austin sun.  If you’ve never been to The Yard before, now is your chance to discover a ton of new music, for free! If you have been before, then you know the drill-RSVP to as many parties as possible in an attempt to avoid some serious FOMO.

All you have to do to attend The Yard is RSVP. Yes, the parties are FREE. There will also be FREE Green Flash beer to quench your thirst, and FREE Illy coffee to keep you going all day/night.

The Yard is all ages, too, so bring the whole family. Just remember to RSVP.

Come hang/dance/party to music from Arkells, Chad Valley, Fickle Friends, Geographer, Lucky Chops, Powers, Spirit Animal, Sun Club, Yuna, and more!

To wet your appetite, listen to the playlist below. It will be updated with each new round of announcements, so keep listening.

Need more proof of why you should be attending The Yard this year?  Really? Well, fine. Peep the video below from The Yard parties last year, and be prepared for even more fun this year.

Whatever your reason, a good mix is always something to have in your back pocket. I put one together that I think you’ll like. It’s very calm, soothing and has the warm feeling that Thanksgiving gives you (or the shots of Wild Turkey that Uncle Doug insists are a tradition). I’m sure you’ve heard a bunch of these songs before by some of our favorites: MS MR, Kite String Tangle, Postiljonen, Haerts, etc.

I am not reinventing the wheel here, just putting it together in a shiny, user-friendly package. I hope this mix brings you as much serene relaxation as it does me. If that doesn’t work just wait for the tryptophan to kick in and you should be all good.

If Spotify is your preferred delivery method here is the unabridged version. This is just what the doctor ordered, Thanksgiving Goodness.
