• Tongue-in-cheek is the best thing that could have happened to country music. Heartfelt lyrics about trucks and beer and dusty old dogs and the open road have long begged to be approached with just a little bit of humor. I don't mean full-on parody, but a loving tribute to the country heroes of the past with a little bit of a wink. This spirit more or less fuels the Outlaw Music Festival, returning Sunday for its second year. The lineup includes mostly bands that have a reverence for the form of country, but twist it in exciting ways. Ten Miles of Bad Road headlines a show that includes Johnson County, Midnight Salvage Co., The Fun Police, the Shivering Denizens, Built County and plenty of booze. - Rev. Adam McKinney
