ROTHBURY, Mich. (WOOD) - Into the early hours of Independence Day, the String Cheese Incident kept more than 30,000 fans dancing as the second day of the Rothbury Music Festival wound down.

The jam band told the crowd it "was a no-brainer" to return to the festival because they had "such a great time last year." And the crowd loved it.

The full day of music featured dynamic performances from King Sunny Ade, G. Love and Special Sauce, Toubab Krewe and Brent Dennen. The social outreach of the festival was also on display through the canned goods drive and the seminars on how to be green and land a green job.

Saturday, the line-up features, among others, Ralph Stanley & The Clinch Mountain Boys, Jackie Greene, the Black Crowes. At 8 p.m., The Dead take the Odeum Stage for two sets, followed by Umphrey's McGee at 12:30 a.m. at the Ranch Arena.
