A big draw for Escalante Days and Nights in Dolores Aug. 10 is the music festival that takes place on the outdoor stages of the downtown Dolores River Brewery.<\/p>\n
Eight local bands will perform a variety of musical styles on Saturday from 2 p.m. to midnight. Admission is $10.<\/p>\n
They bands, in order of appearance, are The Lindells at 2 p.m., Genuine Cowhide at 3:45 p.m., Last Nickel at 5:30 p.m., Carute Roma at 7:15 p.m., Little Brother at 9 p.m., and The Crags at 10:45 p.m. Troubadour Donny Johnson and bluesman Alex Westfall also will perform, and local comedian Jill Carlson will introduce the bands.<\/p>\n
The audience will hear a mix of rock, country-western and world music, said producer Aaron Lemay, of Inner Orbit Sound Systems.<\/p>\n
Little Brother is amping up the funkadelic groove with a new bass player, and the Crags will perform songs off their new CD. Texas-bred Westfall will perform acoustic Delta Blues.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re really proud to showcase our great local bands, many of whom have been with us since we started the music festival seven years ago,\u201d Lemay said.<\/p>\n
Every ticket holder will be entered into a drawing for a three-night microcamper excursion offered by High Desert Life Outdoor & Exchange, of Cortez.<\/p>\n
Performances will alternate between two stages so there is no break in the music.<\/p>\n
