Dr. Dog will help celebrate 14 years of Portland, Oregon tradition by headlining this year’s Pickathon Festival at Pendarvis Farm from August 3–5. Other acts to appear include Typhoon, Neko Case, Heartless Bastards and Blitzen Trapper. The Pickathon Festival, a combination of music, art, and camping is also an annual push for eco-friendly options and sustainability awareness. Though many traveled far and wide to attend last year’s Pickathon, others were able to view a free live broadcast of the event through Seattle’s KEXP; a broadcast will be available free of cost for this year’s event as well. The festival’s ticket information is available here. For those who want to catch Dr. Dog sooner (or don’t want to drive across the country to do so), the band performs at The Electric Factory in Philadelphia on March. —Lisa Henderson
