There will be a number of good and interesting music groups coming to this year's Yosemite Music Festival held at the Mariposa County Fairgrounds on Friday, July 8th and Saturday, July 9th. Besides the headliners, The Americans and Heron Oblivion, a very talented group that played at last year's festival to a very appreciative audience is back. The Fearless Kin, all of the Anderson Family of Grass Valley, Ca. are led by Paige, the 20 year old guitar/banjo player/song writer. Other band members range down to the youngest Daisy at 13 years of age. They are incredible to watch and hear perform their original blue grass style music. These young people are show stoppers not to miss on Saturday evening, July 9th, at 6:50 to 8:00 p.m. Also on Saturday night will be the Snow Angels, an all-female psychedelic pop band out of Oakland, Ca. How long since you have heard an electric sitar played by a wild woman? I thought so! Well come see and hear Gabby La La with her eight piece group that has been described as a rainbow lemonade handstand with a happy ending! Sounds too cool to miss!
Several well-known local bands that will be performing again this year will be Adam Burns and his Bootstrap Circus. Adam says playing at the Yosemite Music Festival is like being at home with friends; you can be very relaxed, play what you want and enjoy the whole scene. Andy Roberts will also be there banjo picking with his Mountain Men Collective. Always a fun group!
Two regionally known reggae bands will be here also with Green Machine playing late Sat. night and A La Lune playing mid-afternoon on Saturday. Check out the website at YosemiteMusicFestival.com and let's get exited!
Come and join your friends on the grassy lawn at the Mariposa County Fairground! Bring your blankets, your lawn chairs, beach chairs and whatever else you need on Friday, July 8th in the afternoon, camp for free and enjoy the music from 1:15 p.m. on Saturday, July 9th.
Good food, beer and ice cream will be available. Day passes are $20 for each day, if you are not camping.
