The infamous Ozark Mountain Daredevils took to the Ralph Rinzler Main Stage at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival at 6:30pm on the 4th of July! The Ozark-rooted Springfield, Missouri-based band has been playing its country rock sound for over fifty years.
As the crowd anticipated the upcoming fireworks display on the National Mall, they sang along and danced to favorites such as "Jackie Blue" and "If You Wanna Get to Heaven."
