Waverly Boogie[edit]
Each year Standard Deluxe hosts a spring music festival "The 280 Boogie," which has been held for 15 years Recently the venue added a fall festival as well – Waverly Fall Boogie.[5][6] The festival has hosted original artists that range from Jason Isbell to The Civil Wars. The event is family-friendly and includes music and regional art vendors and Food Vendors.
History[edit]
In 2000, the Alabama Department of Transportation rerouted U.S. Highway 280 south of the town of Waverly instead of routing the highway through town.[7] If the State of Alabama had gone ahead with its original plan, the town of Waverly would have ceased to exist.[1]
To celebrate saving the town, residents in 2001 decided to hold an annual "Waverly Boogie" (or "Old 280 Boogie"), a multi-cultural festival typically held on the third Saturday in April to exhibit a wide variety of musicians and visual artists. The event is held on the grounds of Standard Deluxe Studios.[7]
