For anyone looking for a good time this weekend, West 60 Cycle in Neosho will be hosting a two-day music festival featuring several local acts.

Tony Bergkoetter, owner of Coyote Productions and event coordinator, is putting on the second annual Homegrown Music festival. The festival will play host to several local musicians from all over the four-state area playing all types of music.

“It’s truly a crossover musical event,” Bergkoetter said. “We’ll have everything from bluegrass and folk to classic rock and rhythm and blues all at one show.”

But the event isn’t just to have a good time, it’s for charity. Bergkoetter donates a portion of the money to the Lafayette House and the Turnaround Ranch.

Last year the event raised $386 for each of the two charities, but Bergkoetter is expecting a much bigger turnout this year.

“We got all kinds of music playing,” Bergkoetter said. “I know almost everybody in every one of these bands. And my friends play good music.”

The bands will play from 6 p.m. to 1 a.m. on Friday, and from 10 a.m. to 1 a.m. on Saturday, but since there is camping the music probably won’t stop there.

“There will probably be a lot of jams by the campfire,” said Adam Giebler, local musician. “First you see the musicians on stage, then everyone gets together by the campfire. It’s more fun than seeing them on stage sometimes.”

Aside from having a good time after the PAs are shut off, Bergkoetter said the biggest reason for free camping is to keep people safe.

“I’d rather people stay and sleep in their car for free then get out on the road when they shouldn’t be driving,” Bergkoetter said.

There will be several food vendors, festival T-shirts and other festival-type vendors present.
