GreggFest

In 2014, young Vermont musician and Lyndon State College student Jake Gregg was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. Gregg lost his battle with the disease the following year. But his legacy lives on through GreggFest, an annual two-day music festival held in in his honor on the campus in Lyndonville — now Northern Vermont University-Lyndon. This year’s lineup features a smorgasbord of local and regional indie rock and hip-hop talent, including headliners Weakened Friends and Manwolves (pictured), as well as Los Elk, Juice, Bethlehem Steel and Golden Boy Music Group, among others. Proceeds benefit a memorial endowment established in Gregg’s honor.
