The Ellnora Guitar Festival looks to be a great and affordable event (for these tough times) to check out. It is also a good opportunity to get out town, the event is in Champaign, IL, and re-live the glory days of college. Seeing Keb' Mo' and Derek Trucks Band at this value (tickets range from free to $30 for the top tier acts) is a steal in addition to the money you will save by crashing a $5 per cup keg party after the show.
What: Ellnora Guitar Festival
When: September 10-12
Where: Champaign, IL, various venues across campus (link here for the full schedule and ticket prices)
