...at the beautiful Austin Dam Memorial Park! I had no idea such a cool event was happening right in our neck of the woods (well near Coudersport). This festival was great! Lots of families and wee ones, local music along with bands who traveled a bit, vendors, a light show, the works! I'll definitely go back next year. The music was great, it happened all day and all night...we got to mingle with new friends and say hi to some old friends! It was kind of like a vacation really...only I was working! For those of you who like great music and want to help support both young, local musicians and the Potter County Fine Arts Council and the Austin Dam Memorial Association (who put on this event to raise funds for the park), I would strongly urge you to visit:http://www.damshow.com and make plans to be there next July!!! The lineup included such bands as:

• Free Grass Union (New York)
• Gail Ayers (Coudersport)
• Willie Jack and the Northern Light (Danville area)
• Michael Cleveland & Flamekeeper (who has debuted on the Grand Ole Opry w/ Allison Krauss!)
• Blue Sky Mission Club
• J.Guy and the Grateful Floyd Band (Easton area)
• Buddhahood (Rochester)
• Tom Martin (Coudersport)
• Freakish Owl Boy (siblings, every one!)
• Redheaded Stepchild (Nashville)
• Hackensaw Boys (Virginia)
• Ryan Montbleau Band (Boston)
• The Slant (Pittsburgh)
• Cherylann Hawk (Pittsburgh)

Dalai Mama had a great weekend at the Austin Dam Show. Won't you join me next summer?
