The yoga program will feature Stained Glass Artist/Yogini Jessica Joy Myers from Bikram Yoga College of India's Headquarters in Los Angeles but the biggest announcement comes with the music headliners, the first of which was announced today.
Guitar Virtuoso Stanley Jordan will be headlining the festival with his mix of classical and jam band style. He made a huge splash at Jam Cruise the last couple of years and equally kick ass guest appearances with Umphrey's Magee at McDowell Mountain Music Fest and with String Cheese Incident in Flagstaff last year.
He is one of two national headlining acts along with a number regional local acts in the lineup.

8 Minutes To Burn Announces The Wild Wild West Fest Live Music & Arts Festival
Have you ever wondered what the United States would be like if the era of Tombstone, Bisbee, Jesse James, and John Dillinger was still the mode of existence today?
Being from the Southwest, where there are reminders everywhere, we wonder about that prospect everyday and here is your chance to bring that wonder to life!
Om August 23, 2013, 8 MINUTES TO BURN announced that we would be hosting The Wild Wild West Fest Live Music & Arts Festival. After breaking into the festival scene at the beginning of 2013 with an appearance at 7th Annual Gem & Jam, we hit the ground running with a tour across the southwestern U.S. which has brought us in contact with a number of musicians we want to share with our hometown community.
Since then we have been invited to play with some legendary bands like the Skatalites in September and we are looking forward to playing and sharing our music on stage with some even more incredibly talented people at the beginning of the new year.
The desire to share the music we have experienced with our friends and family led us to create The Wild Wild West Fest, which will feature live musicians from all over Arizona and from many other parts of the country. We have invited a few special guests from our recent tour and members of the ReverbNation community will be able to submit for two available slots as well.
As its gets closer to the festival, which is taking place during the weekend of April 25-27, 2014, we encourage you to connect with us via our social media or contact LTB Booking & Promotions on Facebook if you are interested in a offering your gift at The Wild Wild West Fest.
We Love You Party People!

The Top five remixes will be released on the Independent Record Label that 8 Minutes To Burn is currently negotiating for the single release.
The top remix submissions will also receive 8 Minutes To Burn Merchandise, a show billing with 8 Minutes To Burn, a feature on AZOverload.com, an interview with DJ Toby Roberts, and other gifts and prizes to be announced.

Fun at the Hippie Fest!
What a blast we had at the Local Love Hippie Fest! It was great to share the stage with Funky Bonz, Carlos Arzate and The Kind Souls, The Tryst, and Top Dead Center.
We are proud to be from Tucson, which we believe has one of the most awesome collaborative music scenes in the country right now and that was evident with the Fire On The Mountain encore super jam.
Thanks for the Local Love promoters for bringing us all together and providing the local bands a chance to hit the stage of the best venue in town.
Looking forward to doing it all again sometime soon.
8M2B 3 Tucson!

Looking forward to the Local Love Hippie Fest
It's not too often bands get to share the stage with some of the local bands that helped motivate them.
We are excited to share the stage with Top Dead Center, The Tryst, and Funky Bonz, all of which are some of the Tucson bands that have inspired us to move forward in our recent developments.
This show is for the family and friends in Tucson who have supported local musicians forever.
As the city changes and it feels like our chances to express ourselves are dwindling, shows like these have to surface and thrive to keep the music going.
Come out and support the local music scene.
Thanks to The Rialto for hosting!
