I hope you made it to at least some of the entertainment at the GROOVEFEST AMERICIAN MUSIC FESTIVAL which was held from June 19th through the 24th! It was one of the most incredible events I’ve ever done and definitely the most exhausting! But it was so well worth it to see all of you out there having fun with all the amazing talent we invited back for the 10th anniversary reunion show.

I want to thank everyone who attended, plus all of our sponsors and those who attended all of our fundraising events. You are all so appreciated and it makes me proud to be part of such a great little artistic community! Thank you, thank you, and thank you!

Saturday, July 7, 7:00PM: STEVE NOONAN at The Music Barn in Parowan. This seasoned and deeply reflective musician continues to write, sing, and produce rarities – socially conscious pieces of Americana, which defy classification. Tinkering over his art like a true craftsman, Steve’s expressive repertoire warrants minimal instrumental canvas.  A refreshingly unvarnished artist, Steve has, in a sense, brought himself home again. Tickets are $8.00 and available at Groovacious.www.stevenoonan.com

Saturday, July 7, 9:00PM: SONS OF MOTHERS at Mike’s Tavern at 90 W. Hoover in Cedar City. Admission is $5.00 at the door. 435-867-5990   www.mikestaverncc.com

Sunday, July 8, 3:00PM: CHRIS PROCTOR at The Artiste Sanctuary Series at St. Jude’s Episcopal Church, 70 N. 200 W. in Cedar City. Chris Proctor's guitar style combines folk, jazz, pop, and classical music, and critics categorize his playing as “Baroque Folk,” “New World Steel String,” “Solo Guitar Orchestra,” “Instrumental Americana,” and compare him to Leo Kottke and Michael Hedges. www.chrisproctor.com
