Shaver's Creek Music Festival and Summer Concert Series

Shaver's Creek will be hosting our second Music Festival on September 25, 2011, from 1:00 to 7:00 p.m.! Three exciting, local bands, Dreams and Bones, Poor Folk, and Skytop Blues, will be taking the stage throughout the afternoon, and local food vendors Gemelli Bakers and Sustainable Kitchen will be on hand with delicious food for sale.

Dreams and Bones is an acoustic quartet that formed in the fall of 2009. Their songs are a mix of original Americana compositions, classic folk tunes, and acoustic rock from the past four decades. Their unique blend of instrumental arrangements and vocal harmonies are both tasteful and powerful.

Next up will be Poor Folk, with members Chris Rattie, Junior Tutwiler, and Corry Drake from the nationally touring band Rustlanders. This all-star lineup will bring a unique blend of old country, rock, and Americana music to the stage.

The festival will then draw to a rocking close with Skytop Blues, a five-piece blues band from Central Pennsylvania. The band plays a diverse mix of electric blues from artists like the Allman Brothers Band, Jimi Hendrix, and Stevie Ray Vaughan.

As this is a fundraiser for Shaver's Creek, this event is rain or shine, and there will be no refunds. The funds raised at last year's Music Fest helped the Creek build the timber-frame stage, completed in March, that will host this year's musical acts. This year's proceeds will help to improve the stage, including the addition of stage lights and backstage roof.
