The Deep Roots Music Festival Volunteer Appreciation Night venue has changed. All other details, as provided by your team leader, are the same but now, it all happens at the Louis Millet Center in New Minas.
We will share cheer with a background of amazing local, live music to celebrate the ongoing success of DRMC and the Deep Roots Music Festival. Success that has been as a direct result of the dedicated DRMC volunteers.
For planning purposes please let your Committee Chair know if you will be able to join us.
All those who voted to make this award happen can’t be wrong! Deep Roots Music Festival…2015 best annual community event.
If you love live music and all the vibes that are part of that kind of event, you can’t go wrong by wanting to share that gift of music…especially when it is part of a well established, 12 years and counting, festival. Check out last year’s festival line up or dig even deeper into the archives and you know the 2016 Deep Roots Music Festival is going to be good. Lots of behind the scenes work going on right now to make sure of that!
What an amazing Festival weekend … sold out shows, sunny warm days, great vibes all around town … smiles everywhere all weekend! A BIG THANK YOU to everyone who contributed in some way to making this year’s Deep Roots Music Festival such a success. The Festival just couldn’t have happened without all the support received from donors, sponsors, and volunteers. Not to mention all the great musicians and festival supporters filling the chairs and dancing up a storm each night.
We’ll post some pictures real soon.
And in the meantime, don’t forget to make note of the date for next year’s festival (always the last full weekend in September) … September 23, 24, 25, 2016.
The Kick Off Concert Thursday night, Matt Andersen and Old Man Luedueke, is going to be hot! Have a listen to this interview Matt Andersen did recently with Blaine Morrison and then get those tickets if you haven’t done that yet.
You may want to see this show more than once, particularly if you know anything about the internationally famous and beloved French cabaret singer, Edith Piaf. Ariana’s compelling rendition is worth experiencing!
