This one will be a more modest affair. The Spring concert will be the bigger one And it's looking like this might be the direction we will go. One evening, 5 or 6 acts in the Spring, individuals or smaller groups. In May we had about 40 musicians here. This time it will be less than 10. But the quality won't be any less! We're really happy that Lynn & Lindy will be here this time. They were on the road when we had the previous events so we tried to schedule around them this time. They'll be off on an east coast tour right afterwards. Vanessa Peters appearance here is one of those small world things. She's the stepdaughter of a guy I worked with for many, many years and she's here as a result of a call made by another friend that we also worked with for many, many years who's been keeping up with the MusicFest. Vanessa has been in Europe for much of the last 10 years or so and has toured there. Now she's back home in Texas and is going to play at Wildernest. Randy Brown and Shannon Monk are also local. They are both folks that we wanted to have at one of the earlier concerts but the scheduling just didn't work. Kurt Bittner will be playing guitar with Shannon. He's a cum laude graduate of Berklee school of music in Boston and has toured internationally. Gus is the MusicFest Producer and is also a performer and owner and operator of Crossroads Music Company and Listening Room in Winnsboro. He's listed as "Gus and Friends" and the friends will include Alex and Amy and maybe a few others. You'll hear them at the Jacob Hayes Memorial.
So - some great musicians and a night of music at the Wildernest Stage. We'll be keeping the website updated - www.wildernestmusicfest.com
