The most applicable education for work as a crime scene investigator is a bachelor's degree in forensic science, forensic anthropology or forensic biology. Forensic science degree programs emphasize interdisciplinary coursework, including criminal justice, molecular biology and biochemistry. Most forensic science students also focus on a specialization, such as fingerprint analysis, toxicology or DNA profiling, in addition to learning about evidence retrieval and documentation methods.

While relevant, a degree in forensic science isn't required to work as a crime scene investigator. Professionals in this field come from a variety of educational backgrounds, including general studies and criminal justice, although graduates of these programs may be required to complete additional forensic training.

Many schools also offer certificate or 2-year degree programs in crime scene investigation. Completion of a 4-year degree in biology or chemistry is also acceptable for this line of work and may offer greater career flexibility, if an individual chooses to transition out of specialized criminal evidence analysis.

This years Lockn lineup features the usual suspects think Widespread Panic, The String Cheese Incident and Phil Lesh, as well as other big names in John Fogerty, The Avett Brothers and Brandi Carlile.

In honor of the festivals fifth year, here are five acts to watch for throughout the weekend (performances are subject to change):

Greensky Bluegrass, 5:30 to 7 p.m. Saturday, Main Stage

This Michigan quintet has been strumming since 2000, first as a bluegrass trio and now with more of an added electric rock n roll flair.

Their slow burn rise from those casual beginnings to sold-out Red Rocks shows and a main stage spot at Bonnaroo has allowed the band to find a comfortable niche within both the jam and string-band communities without becoming beholden to any one group of fans, Matt Inman wrote for Relix in March.

The group has been known to play trad-grass and covers of everyone from Prince to Pink Floyd and is known for its members extended improvisations, making it a great Lockn fit.

The Record Company, 4 to 5 p.m. Sunday, Main Stage

Grammy-nominated power trio The Record Company brings a sound that straddles the line between scuzzy rock riffs and bluesy vocals, so its no surprise its music has become a staple for TV.

In a 2016 Paste Magazine article, Joshua M. Miller noted the bands songs have been featured in beer and car commercials and on Showtimes Shameless, Nashville during its ABC run, and CBSs CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.

The L.A. based-guys have toured across the country, opening for B.B. King, Buddy Guy and, recently, John Mayer; in 2015, they also supported Southern rockers Blackberry Smoke (another performer at this years Lockn).

Margo Price, 6 to 7 p.m. Sunday, Main Stage

Dont let the feminine vocals fool you. This chicks got a hardened backstory filled with made-for-country-song stories (including a brief jail stint) just ripe for the plucking.

In 2016, Duncan Cooper of The Fader called this singer/songwriter your new favorite Nashville badass, and one listen to her lyrics tells you why. Her refusal to shy away from the grittier truths made her debut album, Midwest Farmer's Daughter, an instant fan favorite, garnering praise from all the right people in the music biz.

And shes no stranger to the big stages. Last year, she was a musical guest on Saturday Night Live and joined Jack White (who released her first record and new EP through his Third Man Records) onstage at A Prairie Home Companion.

The Revivalists, 7 to 8 p.m. Sunday, Main Stage

I wrote about this New Orleans-based band when it headlined Devils Backbones inaugural Hoopla festival in 2016. With a sound that mixes jam band sensibilities with the jazz of New Orleans and the alternative touch of indie soul, the Revivalists have found success across musical borders, with 2015s Men Amongst Mountains.

The bands third full-length album earned it praise from NPR and a spot in Rolling Stone's March 2016 "10 New Artists You Need to Know," where the magazine noted the music is for fans of My Morning Jacket, Galactic and Alabama Shakes, as well as an Artist of the Month Slot on NBC's "Today."

Dirty Dozen Brass Band, 1:55 p.m. Sunday, Terrapin Station Porch

This high-octane institution returns to Lockn for the first time since 2013.

One of the original New Orleans jazz bands, DDBB is a world-famous institution with more than 40 years of performances, more than two dozen albums and collaborations with artists ranging from Dr. John and Dizzy Gillespie to Norah Jones, Elvis Costello and even Modest Mouse.

Founded in 1977, DDBB influenced the New Orleans jazz scene when it incorporated funk and bebop into its music and continues to do so with its interpretations of current hits like Rihannas Please Dont Stop the Music.

Four decades later, the group is still known for its high-octane performances.

The Dirty Dozen Brass Band continues to be a national treasure: steeped in both the past and the present, impossible to categorize, and mighty funky, Mac Randall wrote for The News York Times in 2002.

George Eads stars in MacGyver after years in CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.

GEORGE Eads has fallen on his feet. The former CSI: Crime Scene Investigation star found a new television role shortly after quitting the long-running crime drama in 2014.

The 50-year-old Texan, who played Nick Stokes, was the only original cast member left on the show after the departures of William Petersen, Gary Dourdan, Marg Helgenberger and Paul Guilfoyle.

Many stars fade into obscurity after leaving a hit show but Eads has bounced back as Jack Dalton in the reboot of MacGyver.

Dalton, a former Delta Force soldier, is the brawn behind intelligence operative Angus Mac MacGyver (Lucas Till) who uses his brains, paperclips and a Swiss Army knife to outwit baddies.

And the way Eads tells it he is having a blast.

They called me and the name alone had me running as fast as I could to get over there (to sign on), Eads says.

I was familiar with the original program (with Richard Dean Anderson as MacGyver) and always thought it was an idea that would stand the test of time.

You hear of a lot of reboots that dont blow your skirt up but when I heard of this one I knew it wasnt going to be boring.

I saw all the action and I saw that I was going to play an ex-military kind of junkyard dog, which was such a departure (from Stokes on CSI) so I was in.

After an abortive pilot episode, Peter Lenkov, one of the people behind the successful Hawaii Five-O reboot with Aussie Alex OLoughlin, was brought in to get things back on track.

Aussie producer director James Wan (Furious 7, The Conjuring) is also part of the team overseeing Eads show.

A bromance quickly developed between Eads and Till despite the age difference. Till has just turned 27.

I never saw the original MacGyver running like this guy (Till) runs, Eads says. Hes like a deer it is amazing.

Theres a lot of action on this show and I think his (Tills) stuntman is the highest paid stuntman that doesnt do much because he (Till) wont let him.

When you have a star thats enthusiastic about all the action, it really helps. He doesnt want to stand there. He wants to do it. It inspires me.

MacGyver, Monday, 7.30pm, One.
