The MUSIC & ART Related Events CALENDAR for the week of July 7, 2014

From the desk of Tim Groove at Groovacious – southern Utah’s record store

Cee Cee James headlines Groovefest 2014.

Since we were just a day out from the fest last week I did not get a chance to put together a calendar, so I’d like to take this opportunity now to thank all of you for the best Groovefest yet!

We had the best time ever and our crew really put forth an extra effort to put on a really good show for you. The talent was stellar and every event, from Groove Kids to the Sunday Redemption Hour, was the best attended ever!

I’d also like to thank our wonderful Partners, whom without, Groovefest would not be possible. Please check them out at the end of this calendar and please tell them thanks!

So in a nutshell… a big THANK YOU to everyone!! Now I’ll take a rest from it for a couple of months before we begin planning for 2015!

Go to www.facebook.com/GroovefestAmericanMusicFestival to see all the pictures!

*If you are planning a music or art-related event, let me know – I’ll get it on this calendar. Just please make sure to let me know before each Monday afternoon.

Other non-music/art events can also be found at the Tourism Bureau’s website at www.scenicsouthernutah.com.
