Ever wonder where Bluegrass and American Folk/Country Music come from? Come to the source. Voices from the Mountain will take you on a musical journey to Appalachia to explore the Celtic roots of American folk music with songs, dance, and stories. Retrace the steps of Olive Dame Campbell as she travels in 1907 to the wilds of Appalachia to interview the locals and collect their songs. She is thrilled to discover that the ballads originated in England, Scotland, and Ireland in the early 1700’s but, some 200 years later, were still being sung in the old ways.
Join us for a day of bluegrass music celebrating the life of Bernie Caouette who built Caouette banjo's and supported bluegrass music and people of bluegrass. Julie, along with her family, started this benefit right after Bernie passed away. They have raised money annually to fund the Caouette Music Scholarship program. They have awarded 30 music scholarships in Bernie's memory. This is the tenth and final year for Julie's fundraiser. She is donating the proceeds of the fund to be split between the BBU and Pemi Valley Bluegrass Festival in support of future youth music needs. Food/Refreshments/Cash Bar are available all day! Raffle prizes including acoustic guitar, Festival Tickets 50/50 and more. Sound by Steve Abdu. MC - Mike Robinson
