First, I need to offer up this disclaimer:I have the great pleasure of being one of the acts chosen to perform at the Sterling Stage String Fling, so naturally it is in my enlightened self-interest to tell folks about this festival and encourage them to attend -- especially on Saturday, July 5th, at 1 pm, when I'm scheduled to perform a 50 minute set with my group, the Good Acoustics.
But as the wonderful poster (above) indicates, Larry Hoyt & the Good Acoustics are not the headliners at this festival.
(You can click on the above poster and, like magic, it will enlarge before your eyes!)
There are many other acts -- better known acts -- who are also worth checking out at the String Fling, which runs from Thursday night, July 3, thru Sunday evening, July 6. Overnight camping is available.
Astronomical Productions, the promoters of this festival, make it a point in saying that this is not your typical old folk festival.
String Fling will have much more of an energized, eclectic, roots-acoustic-jam-band vibe about it.
The headliners of the festival are nationally known acts:
the Jazz Mandolin Project, Boris Garcia, and the Gordon Stone Band.
Plus, there will also be more than a dozen excellent regional acoustic acts.
Plus a good number of top-notch acts from right here in Central New York, including Shirley Woodcock-Kolb, Boots'n'Shorts, Jamie Notarthomas, Charley Orlando, Dam Dog, Larry Hoyt & the Good Acoustics, and more.
The festival site is about 15 miles west of Fulton;
directions and ticket information can be found on the String Fling pages of the Sterling Stage website: http://www.sterlingstage.com/
The weather looks like it will be fairly nice this weekend, so please do consider stopping out to catch the energized acoustic music happening at the String Fling at Sterling Stage this weekend.
