The Roots N Blues Festival, which features major touring acts each September, is rebranding.

Tickets went on sale Friday for the Treeline Music Fest, scheduled for Sept. 29 to Oct. 1 in Stephens Lake Park. The festival launched its rebranding campaign this week and labels itself the "only American music festival owned by women."

The Treeline website recounts the festival's start as the Roots N Blues N BBQ Festival in 2007 through its rebranding. The current owners -- Shay Jasper and Tracy Lane -- purchased the festival from music promoter Richard King's Thumper Productions, LLC in 2019. They served as festival co-directors in 2018 and 2019, according to the website.

Last year's festival was headlined by acts such as Wilco, John Batiste, Chaka Khan, Tanya Tucker and Bleachers. The 2023 lineup is yet to be announced.
