Brevard NC “White Squirrel Festival” Music Fund

The Heart of Brevard announces the creation of the “White Squirrel Festival MUSIC FUND.”  This is a fund through the Community Focus Foundation that will allow for tax-deductible donations by individuals to support the festival concerts.

The 6th Annual White Squirrel Festival takes place in downtown Brevard over the Memorial Day Weekend (May 29-30, 2010).

16 concerts will be held throughout the weekend, which are absolutely FREE to the public.

The only way to keep these concerts FREE to the public is through business sponsorships and now, individual donations.

Where else can you see Steep Canyon Rangers and Jupiter Coyote perform at one festival?!

Jupiter Coyote headlines Saturday’s performances.  For over 18 years Coyote has played “Mountain Rock” – a mixture of Southern Appalachian boogie, bluegrass-infused, funk-rock– in more than 4,000 concerts.  Jupiter Coyote has shared the stage with The Allman Brothers Band, Dave Matthews, Widespread Panic, String Cheese, The Radiators, and Kansas to name a few.

Steep Canyon Rangers will close the weekend concerts on Sunday.  The Rangers base their music around a stunning catalogue of original songs, drawing on the sounds of early bluegrass, honky tonk, and blues.  Nominated for 2 international Bluegrass Music Awards in 2008 (including Album of the Year, “Lovin’ Pretty Women”), Steep Canyon Rangers have toured worldwide to festivals in Sweden, Ireland, Germany, and Canada.

They are joined by new and former favorites:  Michael Reno Harrell, High Windy, Galen Kipar, Odd Meters, Jonathan Scales Fourchestra, The Shakedown, Dave Desmelik, Davidson River Taiko, Smokey Joe Show, Mike Creech, Wilsin, Brett & Adam, and others.
