Stanlee Ventures, LLC is proud to present the 3rd Annual MantraBash, a music, art & camping festival held Thursday, June 21 through Saturday, June 23 at the High Country Motorcycle Camp in Ferguson, NC - approximately 90 miles west of Greensboro. The event will feature three nights of music from The Mantras, along with special guests Robert Walter Trio, Particle, The Werks and many more.
 
Host band, The Mantras, more than live up to the hype with music that is a high-energy collaborative of progressive rock, middle-eastern melodies and rhythms, electronica, and metal; all fused with a southern sensibility that'll shake your knees and rattles your toes. 

Having shared stages with Umphrey's McGee, George Clinton & Parliament/Funkadelic and many more, this year they're bringin' it all back home for MantraBash. 
 
National artists featured include host-band The Mantras performing all three nights, plus keyboard wizard Robert Walter Trio with Aaron Redfield (drums, Greyboy Allstars) and Reed Mathis (bass, Tea Leaf Green, Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey). This trio will be a fantastic audio treat for festival-goers with their fusion of soul-jazz and funk. 

Additional acts include electro-prog-rock trio Particle, exploratory-improv jammers The Werks and many others. MantraBash also includes fellow NC natives, Yo Mama's Big Fat Booty Band, Chasing Edison, Josh Phillips Folk Festival, The Native Sway and many more friends.

With only one-thousand tickets available and selling fast, MantraBash is a grassroots, intimate event with a line-up that is sure to have everyone getting up to get down.

Located in the foothills of Ferguson, North Carolina, High Country Motorcycle Camp offers attendees panoramic views of its fourteen majestic mountain acres, babbling brooks, tent-camping space and showers. Due to the popularity of the enhanced festival experience, the VIP tickets and RV spaces are currently sold out.

The festival not only offers a vast line-up of feel-good music, food and art vendors and a family-friendly environment, it's also charitable as a portion of the proceeds will be donated to a non-profit organization (still to be announced). Additionally, there will be live art, craft vendors and some of the top food vendors in the region to fill the souls of attendees. 

MantraBash is supported in part by local favorites Foothills Brewing and Eagle's Nest Outfitters; both companies will be on-site pouring beer at the event and letting you relax in the world's best hammocks. Stanlee Ventures, LLC is producing their first Mantrabash with The Mantras. Stanlee Ventures is known for producing the grassroots event Camp Barefoot in West Virginia.
