Now in its second year, the three-day Ten Mile Creek Revival — named for Ten Mile Creek, which runs through the festival grounds — is set to take place this weekend!

The family-friendly festival aims to continue both the legacy of the Kate Wolf Music Festival and the 30-plus-year tradition of heartfelt events at Black Oak Ranch, celebrating bluegrass and Americana music in the immersive natural beauty of the Laytonville Valley.

This year’s lineup includes many Black Oak Ranch and Kate Wolf Music Festival favorites, such as Los Lobos, The Wailin’ Jennys, Old Blind Dogs, Rainbow Girls, The Sam Chase & The Untraditional, and The Real Sarahs, as well as newcomers like Miko Marks, Two Runner, and Broken Compass Bluegrass. The festival features two stages of music, the Shady Oak Bar, creekside camping, family activities, and food and craft vendors.

Biasha Mitchell is a second-generation “Hog Farmer,” a steward of Black Oak Ranch, and grew up helping produce events there, including the Hog Farm Pignic, Earthdance, and the Kate Wolf Music Festival.

Biasha joined Toby in the Morning in the KHUM studios this week to chat about the upcoming festival and the decades-long legacy of Black Oak Ranch— the longest-running hippie commune in the United States — best known for its role in the original Woodstock Music & Art Fair and the counterculture movement of the 1960s.
