MerleFest Adds Little Feat, Marcus King, Tanya Tucker, Miko Marks, and More to 2023 Lineup

MerleFest, presented by Window World, has just added another huge list of performers to its already stacked 2023 lineup-which featured headliners like The Avett Brothers and Maren Morris. Taking place April 27-30, 2023, on the campus of Wilkes Community College in Wilkesboro, North Carolina, MerleFest attendees will have the chance to see boogie-rock masters Little Feat, next-generation guitar slinger Marcus King, living country music legend Tanya Tucker, Miko Marks' blend of country, blues, southern rock and gospel, and many more take to the festival's multiple weekend stages.

2023 will mark MerleFest's 35th festival and will honor Doc Watson's 100th birthday year. To celebrate the historic milestone event, organizers intend to feature MerleFest's unique history and present unique collaborations to honor the festival's founding folk icon. From the flatbed trailer stage at the 1988 Eddy Merle Watson Memorial Festival to today, and looking into the future, MerleFest will continue to draw fans from all over the world to the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains each spring to make music, moments, and memories together.
