Ok, ok, it’s about an hour away. But that’s pretty close and there are some local artists included so we’ll mention it here. From their press release:
The American River Music Festival is a celebration of music and moving water, taking place Sept. 18, 19 and 20 throughout the friendly river community of Coloma. The festival offers over 25 performances and workshops at our main stage, in three riverfront campgrounds, on our whitewater river trip, on our guided riverfront hike in Magnolia Ranch, and at local restaurants.
The music is mixture of Americana, Folk and Blues with performers coming from throughout North America including [former Sacramento singer-songwriter] Jackie Greene and Tim Bluhm (of The Mother Hips) who together are The Skinny Singers, Jimmy LaFave, Eliza Gilkyson and Nina Gerber, City Folk (with Keith Greeninger), Blame Sally, Handful of Luvin, Jonny Mojo with MindX, Fret Not Gospel, Twilight Hotel, Danny Schmidt and many more.
Sounds like a fun festival in a scenic place with a variety of music. More information is on their web site or by calling (530) 622-6044.
