In August, we'll plant our chairs in the cooling currents of the St. Vrain River to enjoy our "summit of the song" - the 18th Annual Rocky Mountain Folks Festival (Aug 15-17). With some of the world's most important songwriters - Greg Brown, KT Tunstall, Nanci Griffith, Amos Lee, Patty Griffin, Jakob Dylan, Josh Ritter, Todd Snider, and many many more - stories and music are uniquely intertwined all weekend; and for the preceding week at our Song School.
We open the 2008 concert season in our Wildflower Pavilion with More Pretty Girls Than One...II – a gala night of music (Friday, May 2) featuring over 40 of Colorado's finest women in bluegrass - Mollie O'Brien, Joan Wernick, Helen Forster, KC Groves, Sally Van Meter, and many many more – all to benefit the Lyons Community Foundation.
Last year Governor Bill Ritter, jr. declared June 23 Colorado Bluegrass Day - honoring Planet Bluegrass for "using renewable energy to help protect our environment while producing a world-class festival." This honor reflects our years of leading the way in sustainable festivation and the green festival movement in America.
