Enter FestivaLink’s Merlefest Hillside Album Hour contest

The Waybacks & John Cowan cover Led Zeppelin II during the Hillside Album Hour at Merlefest 2008.

The Hillside Album Hour is one of MerleFest’s newest traditions! MerleFest fans got a big kick out of last year’s Led Zep II tribute performed by the Waybacks, John Cowan, and a host of superb bluegrass musicians.

This year, they’re plotting another surprise classic rock tribute, to be performed on Saturday April 25th on the Hillside Stage at 5:00 p.m.

They’ve issued a challenge to guess the album they’ll be performing in its entirety. The winner, chosen at random from among the correct entries, wins a short stack of swag from FestivaLink, the Waybacks, and Mr. Cowan, a free download (of this show or another MerleFest show) and–if attending the fest–a chance to visit with the artists after the show.

You can follow The Waybacks on Twitter or become a Fan of any of their Facebook, MySpace, or ILike pages to get hints about the Album selection.

Register you’re guesses on the FestivaLink site.
