 American River Music Festival -
Sept 17-19
Letter to EDAC members
Hello EDAC members!
As a little boy, my
grandpa taught three-part harmonies to my brothers and me. He was a
painter and sang in barbershop quartets as well as played the mandolin,
guitar and ukulele. My father was a classical pianist. My daughter just
graduated from California College of the Arts as a printmaking major....
This is why the American
River Music Festival offers Arts Council members and their friends a
limited number of discounted tickets to the festival. AND, for each
ticket you buy, the festival will make a donation to EDAC. For only $20
($35 at the gate) you can enjoy a full day of great Folk, Americana
and Acoustic Blues. Hurry to get your discounted tickets at EDAC's
ArtSpace, 459 Main Street in Placerville.
Sincerely,
Matt Semonsen
Executive Director
American River Music, Inc
