This delay seemed to only make the return of one of the country\u2019s premier festivals to the Allegany Fairgrounds for musicians and fans alike, that much sweeter. As always, pickers and players had the chance to arrive early for the Academy portion of the festival, which is something that makes DelFest so unique and a draw for all levels of music lovers. This is where friendships and collaborations are made that would be heard and last throughout the weekend and hopefully beyond.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"The Del McCoury Band Soundcheck on Day 1 of DelFest '14\" data-id=\"119469\" width=\"285\" data-init-width=\"1024\" height=\"143\" data-init-height=\"512\" title=\"The Del McCoury Band Soundcheck on Day 1 of DelFest '14\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/JAH_9286.jpg\" data-width=\"285\" data-height=\"143\" data-link-wrap=\"true\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The Del McCoury Band<\/p>\n<p>As fans began to unload themselves on the campgrounds, Del held his soundcheck and seemed to be even happier than the crowd to be there. Noting that he didn\u2019t remember ever seeing a Thursday this crowded, he joked that maybe they should take another three years off. The infectious smile and heartwarming giggle that host <strong>Del McCoury<\/strong> shared with the audience countless times, with what seemed like every musical act, reminded ticket buyers of why the festival is one that they will return to over and over again. The sense of community that is ever-present at stages, across the campground and amplified by welcoming activities like the kid&#8217;s zone, is the icing on the cake to musical magic. Del also plays a welcoming host, always interacting with the audience, taking requests, telling stories, and sharing moments with people far and near to the stage. This is just another part of the festival that makes everyone in attendance seem like one collective group of friends getting together to share a holiday weekend and not just folks who paid to get in.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"The Del McCoury Band Soundcheck on Day 1 of DelFest '14\" data-id=\"119469\" width=\"570\" data-init-width=\"1024\" height=\"285\" data-init-height=\"512\" title=\"The Del McCoury Band Soundcheck on Day 1 of DelFest '14\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/JAH_9286.jpg\" data-width=\"570\" data-height=\"285\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The Del McCoury Band<\/p>\n<p><span><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Della Mae finally gets to perform at DelFest after a previous rain out\" data-id=\"119473\" width=\"373\" data-init-width=\"1024\" height=\"249\" data-init-height=\"683\" title=\"Della Mae finally gets to perform at DelFest after a previous rain out\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/JAH_3115.jpg\" data-width=\"373\" data-height=\"249\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Della Mae<\/p>\n<p>Weather is always another very noticeable guest at the festival and it was ready to return this year in full force.
