Utah Phillips Benefit Concert in Paonia

Utah Phillips "The Golden Voice of the Great Southwest" is struggling with health costs associated

with his heart condition. A benefit concert is being held Saturday May 24th, 4-7 PM at Paonia Town Park Stage with all money raised going to a fund set up to help with his medical expenses. The concert is sponsored by Starr's Guitars and Co-Sponsored by KVNF with FREE Live Music featuring, Bill Powers and the Silvertone Devils, Russ Chapman, Hard Pressed and Bob and Diana Sukiel (members of The Rose Tattoo--which is the extended family of fellow friends and musicians associated with Utah). The music is Free! Donations are encouraged and greatly appreciated.
Starr's Guitars has donated a guitar to be auctioned. The guitar will travel with Larry and Gayle Davidson to Nevada City to be signed by Utah and members of The Rose Tatoo at the big "Rendevous" there the following week. The guitar will then be returned to the highest bidder. There will be various other pieces of memorabilia and art to be auctioned as well as a bunch of Utah's CDs available for purchase.
Bring a picnic and enjoy some local roots based music in the shade of Paonia's beautiful Town Park while you show your support for this Great American living legend.
For more information on Utah check out his website.

Be sure and tune in to KVNF, Tuesday May 20th, for the "Just Us Folks" show. Gayle will feature all things Utah Phillips. We will have a call in from Utah himself and possibly have some live music and interviews in the studio as well. Tune in with Gayle from 9:30-12 noon Tuesday, May 20th on KVNF or listen online at www.kvnf.org
