The 6th annual Nelsonville Music Festival will take place May 14-16, 2010 at Robbins Crossing on the campus of Hocking College in Nelsonville, Ohio. The festival is presented each year by Stuart’s Opera House and past performers have included Willie Nelson, The Avett Brothers, Mudhoney, Squirrel Nut Zippers, Jolie Holland, Akron/Family, and many more.

This year Stuart’s is thrilled to announce country music living legend Loretta Lynn as the headliner for Saturday night! Loretta will join Todd Snider, Black Joe Lewis, Michael Hurley, Detroit Cobras, and Those Darlins as confirmed acts for the 2010 Nelsonville Music Festival, with many more to be announced as we get closer to the festival. For over four decades now, Loretta has fashioned a body of work as artistically and commercially successful—and as culturally significant—as any female performer you’d care to name. Her music has confronted many of the major social issues of her time, and her life story is a rags-to-riches tale familiar to pop, rock and country fans alike. The Coal Miner’s Daughter—the tag refers to a hit single, an album, a best-selling autobiography, an Oscar-winning film, and to Lynn herself—has journeyed from the poverty of the Kentucky hills to Nashville superstardom to her current status as an honest-to-goodness American icon. Lynn also recently worked with Jack White on her 2004 critically acclaimed album Van Lear Rose. Loretta Lynn continues to amaze audiences with her live show, still continuing to keep a busy schedule of live performances.

The 6th annual Nelsonville Music Festival will take place on May 14-16, 2010 at Robbins Crossing on the campus of Hocking College and will feature headliner Loretta Lynn on Saturday, May 15th.
