Music like Black Pumas

Old Settler's Music Festival is an annual music festival held in Tilmon, Texas, just southeast of Lockhart, Texas. The festival, started in 1987, features world-renowned legends and up-and-coming artists from Texas and beyond. Camping, arts and crafts, food and drink are available.

The festival is represented at numerous music events including the International Folk Alliance Conference, the Americana Music Festival & Conference, South By Southwest, the International Bluegrass Music Festival's World of Bluegrass, and the International Music Festival Conference.

The Old Settler's Bluegrass Festival was first held in Old Settler's Park in Round Rock, Texas. After the park flooded during a festival weekend, the organizers moved the festival first to Stone Mountain Events Center in Dripping Springs, Texas, and later to the Salt Lick BBQ Pavilion and Camp Ben McCulloch in Driftwood, Texas. The festival's name was modified to Old Settler's Music Festival in 2000. In 2018, the festival moved to its permanent home on 145 acres it purchased in Tilmon (though the mailing address is Dale, Texas), between Austin and San Antonio.
