Old souls and vintage lovers rejoice! This year's Sasquatch festival has several bands whose sounds harken back to the good ol' days. Below I've included my two not-to-miss picks, The Sheepdogs and Sallie Ford and the Sound Outside.

The Sheepdogs
These four fellas, hailing from the great white north of Canada, are bringing back the sounds of '70s southern rock in the best way possible. Clearly channeling the sounds and presence of CCR, the Allman Brothers, and even The Band, their guitar riffs, vocal harmonies, and attitudes (complete with long scruffy hair) leave little to be desired. Since winning Rolling Stone's cover band competition, the Sheepdogs have been traveling the music festival circuit, taking audiences back to the chill, barefoot days when rock ruled the airwaves.



Sallie Ford and the Sound Outside
Sallie and her friends will not be traveling too far from their hometown of Portland to this year's Sasquatch Festival. Regardless, you should take time out of your busy musical festival schedules to see them. This is a band that knows their musical heritage and pays homage to it in every song without getting stuck in the past. Drawing on Etta James, Bessie Smith, and Wanda Jackson, this outfit combines the vocal power of Janis Joplin with a great rock-a-billy aesthetic and a modern edge á la Tom Waits or Neko Case. They're sure to provide a jive time for rab cats and non greasers alike.
