Westobou Festival 2012 Already Underway

Published March 22, 2012
Look for the lineup announcement in the Metro Spirit in a month or so for this year’s Westobou, which Molly McDowell promises will be a younger, funkier festival. “We’re not ever going to be Spoleto,” she said. “You’ve got the James Brown Arena bringing in older acts like Elton john, the Banjo-B-Que doing their thing, Blind Willie doing theirs, so we just want to do ours.” Music will start Thursday night, September 6, and they are planning on how best to work in with Border Bash that Friday. “It’s going to be First Friday, too, so we want to give folks something cool that are already down here,” she said. Expect much more at the Parade Grounds at the Old Academy of Richmond County. That, McDowell said, will be the festival center and will occupy more rooms in the building than last year.
