“Bring your chairs or blankets and laidback attitudes,” said Bob Tom Reed, producer for the event. “Our festival will entertain the Rolling Oaks way — with good music and food served up in a relaxed country setting.” Reed was a guitarist in the psychedelic rock band Shiva’s Headband, which formed in Austin in 1967. The house band at the Vulcan Gas Company nightclub in the late 1960s, the band is credited with helping to establish the Armadillo World Headquarters.
