Merlefest 2021 In Photos by Bryce Lafoon, Light Shifter Studios

Sep16, 2021- Sep19, 2021
Can you believe we are back to having live shows again? It had been 559 days since I had been to a live show. When I heard that I was gonna be an official photographer for Merlefest I was excited but a little nervous that the event might not happen with the rise of the delta covid varient. Luckily things came together and I was able to capture this wonderful event for my first time. I have heard thru the grapevine how great this home grown music festival was and I needed to see for myself. Merlefest was unlike any event or festival I have ever been to before. Here are some of my favorite photos from 2021’s Merlefest held September 16-19 at Wilkes Community College.
