Single-day wristbands for the acclaimed Old Settler's Music Festival will go on sale Tuesday, December 21, exclusively at the Old Settler's Music Festival. The 24th annual festival will be held, rain or shine, Thursday, April 14, Sunday, April 17, 2011, with an outstanding lineup of award-winning roots-music, bluegrass and Americana artists including The Avett Brothers, Sam Bush, Tim O'Brien, Jake Shimabukuro, Langhorne Slim, Green Mountain Grass, Elliott Brood and Emmitt-Nershi Band.

They are among more than 30 acts that will perform on four stages at the Salt Lick Pavilion and Camp Ben McCulloch on FM 1826, in the Texas Hill Country just south of Austin, Texas.
