Who's set to take the stage at the 2026 Highlonesome Music Festival? It’s none other than Justin Larkin! We’re excited to welcome you on Labor Day weekend, from September 3-6, 2026, amidst the beautiful hills and hollers close to Ava, MO.

Hailing from Springfield, MO, Justin Larkin is a talented singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist who has been captivating audiences across the Midwest for more than 15 years. His distinctive sound, which he refers to as "Cosmic Ozarkana Music," is a rich fusion of Roots, Soul, and rock ‘n’ roll, drawing inspiration from his childhood days listening to local oldies radio, as well as from artists like the Rolling Stones, Tom Petty, Chris Cornell, and George Jones. Since 2018, he has developed an innovative solo act that incorporates a modified suitcase drum made from license plates, foot tambourines, and harmonica, creating a "full band vibe" in his one-man performances.

Hailing from the Flint Hills and inspired by the Tallgrass Prairie, Weda Skirts are a 5-piece bluegrass-adjacent vocal group with a devout Kansas following. Originally formed in the summer of 2009 as "The Skirts," the group was founded by Elexa Dawson, Melissa Tastove, and Sarah Bays, quickly expanding to include Emily Wilson on mandolin and Rachel Allai on fiddle. In 2019, they added "Weda" to their name to "confuse and confound" their fan base—a move summed up by their mantra: "weda weda weda... you either get it, or you don't".

The group has charmed audiences since 2008 with a folky style defined by soaring harmonies and danceable rhythms. Their repertoire centers on original compositions but frequently features "homemade" renditions of popular rock and folk songs.
We are beyond pleased to welcome them to Highlonesome Music Festival 2026!
