Hello Festival Friend,We'd like to thank all of you fine folks who have already purchased your tickets to this year's festival, making this special event possible. It's Strawberry's very own version of Community Supported Music (CSM), very homegrown and healthy, just like the vegetables you buy from your local farmer's Community Supported Agriculture (CSA). |

THE DUSTBOWL REVIVAL TO RETURN TO STRAWBERRY SPRING 2019 |
|
The Dustbowl Revival is an eight-piece Americana and soul band, known for combining the sounds of New Orleans funk, bluegrass, soul, pre-war blues, and roots music into a genre-hopping, time-bending dance party. The Dustbowl Revival formed in 2007, when the band’s original member, Zach Lupetin, a Midwesterner having recently relocated to L.A., posted an ad on Craigslist in hopes of creating a group inspired by brass band and string band traditions. Since that time, The Dustbowl Revival has surpassed all expectations, going from L.A. Weekly’s “Best Live Band,” to opening for bands as diverse as Lake Street Dive, to Trombone Shorty and The Preservation Hall Jazz Band, to touring China as a guest of the State department, and headlining festivals like Delfest, Floydfest, and Hardly Strictly Bluegrass. With their latest self titled full length release, produced by the Grammy award winning Ted Hutt, the band has evolved beyond the confines of its origins and their sound has become even more distinguished. They have become something of a household name for music lovers and at venues and events across the U.S., and beyond, since they made their Strawberry debut at the Spring 2015 Festival. We’re thrilled for The Dustbowl Revival to return, in 2019, with their joyous and vibrant mix of vintage Americana sounds and we hope to see you there! |

SONGCATCHING HAZLE: A HAZLE DICKENS TRIBUTE FT. ELI WEST, ISMAY, & PAPER WINGS |
|
As one of the greatest voices in Bluegrass, Hazel Dickens was a pioneer for women and activism in the genre. Over the past year, three up-and coming roots artists have collaborated in an effort to keep her voice and work in the repertoire of modern bluegrass. Eli West, Ismay (Avery Hellman), and Paper Wings have all found deep inspiration in Hazel's work, and seek to share her original songs along with stories of her life on the Strawberry Stage. Visit our website for more information, or to buy tickets to see this special presentation by Eli West, Ismay, and Paper Wings, along with many other talented artists, at Strawberry Music Festival Spring 2019, taking place May 23 - 27 at the Nevada County Fairgrounds in Grass Valley, CA. For more details or to purchase tickets by phone, call the Strawberry office M-F, 9-5 at (209) 984-8630. Please enjoy video from each of these talented performers: |

MARLEY’S GHOST TO RETURN TO SPRING STRAWBERRY |
|
| Each of Marley’s members (Dan Wheetman, Jon Wilcox, Mike Phelan, Ed Littlefield Jr., Jerry Fletcher, and Bob Nichols) play lead on too many instruments to list, and the collective Ghost performs a widely eclectic repertoire of roots and Americana genres. Most of them have been making music together for more than three decades, and the band has played a central role in the Strawberry story for just as long. Over the years, what was already a phenomenal pairing of vocals and instrumentation has only grown tighter and richer. Each of Marley's Ghost twelve recordings released to date is its own unique homage to American culture and our deep connection to the arts, both past, present, and future. Now, fans and friends are anxiously awaiting the upcoming release of their latest LP, titled “Travelin’ Shoes”, on February 8th, 2019. Song premiers from the album, “Shadrack” and title track, “Travelin’ Shoes,” have further demonstrated Marley’s ability to breathe new contemporary life into traditional gospel classics and are performed with the vocal nuance and instrumental precision that is true to form. We’re looking forward to hearing the full collection in two weeks and then to see them perform live on Sunday evening on the Main Stage, as well as at other Strawberry venues throughout the holiday weekend. |
