9th Annual McDowell Mountain Music Festival

Posted on by

From MMMF.net
“April 13-15th will celebrate the 9th annual MMMF. The McDowell Mountain Music Festival exists to integrate and support the community, the arts and the underprivileged. 100% of the proceeds benefit Phoenix Children’s Hospital and Ear Candy Charity.

The Festival took off in April of 2004 as an endeavor to bring real music back to Arizona while getting the community together for a great cause: our children. Each year, the festival brings together a number of bands from a wide variety of genres from all over the world to Arizona. The Festival takes place on the last weekend of April every spring.

It is a great feeling leaning up against the edge of the stage, staring up at your favorite band and enjoying every minute of the performance, but it is an even greater feeling knowing that the proceeds from your ticket will be helping kids in our community! ”

Announced Lineup: Galactic • Ozomatli • Keller Williams • Del McCoury Band • Dark Star Orchestra • Soulive • The Travein’ McCourys with Keller Williams • Big Head Todd and the Monsters • Anders Osborne • Trevor Hall • Carolina Chocolate Drops • The Motet • EOTO • Bob Schneider Band • And More TBA

Video ~ The American Beer Revival

Posted on by

From The American Beer Revival
“Over the last hundred or so years, the brewing industry in the United States has changed dramatically. From the saloon era through consolidation to today’s flourishing craft beer culture, it’s been quite a ride. Take a look at how the small brewer is making quite a comeback after nearly a half century of decline.
It’s a great time for beer!”
