John Butler Trio, The Word, Lake Street Dive and Nicki Bluhm & The Gramblers are among the artists added to the lineup today as are Lotus, The Jeff Austin Band, Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe, BoomBox, The Motet and Papadosio.

All the artists added today join a lineup that already included the likes of The String Cheese Incident, Joe Russo’s Almost Dead, Galactic, Shovels & Rope, The Wood Brothers, ALO, Nahko & Medicine For The People, The California Honeydrops and The Barr Brothers. High Sierra organizers have honored many of the artists who have been a part of the fabric of the festival over the years by including them at this year’s 25th annual festival. Artists like Karl Denson, The Slip, Surprise Me Mr. Davis, Galactic, ALO, the Living Daylights, Dan Bern and many others have all played High Sierra spanning over three decades.
