In June of 1964 the Merry Pranksters, led by the boundary pushing genius Ken Kesey, set off to the east in their psychedelic bus on a journey to tear down the walls of mundane conformity that permeated American society.

This groundbreaking, boat tripping music festival begins Thursday August 4th in New Orleans, Louisiana and climaxes over Labor Day weekend in St. Paul, Minnesota. The bands will be traveling aboard Furthest a vintage early 20th century Mississippi river paddleboat that has been restored, updated and painted to rival the bus from which it was inspired. A barge & tug has been leased to follow Furthest and serve as stage.
A rotating assortment of members from the bands will be performing loosely organized jams from the barge while traveling, if just to blow the minds of anyone on or along the river, with five scheduled stops for full riverfront concert events.
Each band will headline one of the stops with the opening act being more collective jamming and hijinks from the other bands members. The concerts will be on the riverfront with the bands performing from the barge stage.
