March 12th-14th Alternative Music Fest To Benefit Migrant Farmworkers

This Thanksgiving, support the hands that harvested the food on your table by purchasing a ticket to the Harvest of Hope Fest in sunny St. Augustine, Florida. The Harvest of Hope Fest is a three-day, multiple stage music festival that raises awareness and provides financial and educational aid to migrant farmworkers all over the country. For a limited time, discounted three-day tickets for the festival are available at the incredibly low price of $29.50.

HOH Fest is the first multi-day concert of 2010 festival season and uniquely different then the copycat lineups you see at other events. Last year over 17,000 attendees rocked out to over one hundred punk, indie, hip-hop, and alternative rock bands. Audiences were treated to Against Me!, Black Kids, Girl Talk, Less Than Jake, The National, GZA, Tokyo Police Club, Propagandhi, Ra Ra Riot, KRS-One, Kool Keith, and many others. This year’s line up, which will be announced in early December, promises to be even better!

Right in time for spring break, the 2010 Harvest of Hope Festival is scheduled for March 12th – 14th. It is conveniently located on the St. Johns County Fairgrounds and offers 90 acres of grassy pasture and trees for limited primitive camping. The festival is an ideal destination for spring breakers, snowbirds, and sun lovers. The Harvest of Hope Fest is located a short distance from historic St. Augustine and the beach and within an easy drive of Daytona, Jacksonville, Orlando, and Gainesville.

Discounted three-day tickets are on sale starting November 23rd for the low price of $29.50 until the festival line up is announced. Proceeds from the charity fundraiser festival will benefit Harvest of Hope Foundation, a non-profit organization that provides emergency and educational aid to some of the hardest working and often overlooked people keeping our agricultural economy moving - migrant farmworkers. Harvest of Hope distributes funds to migrant farmworkers and their families to help pay for food, medical services, clothing, rent, educational scholarships, and more. It is an honor to have such a large group of musicians donating their time and performances to the cause.

2nd Annual Southern Exposure Music & Heritage Festival
10:00 AM - 5:00 PM + View Event Details

2nd Annual Southern Exposure Music & Heritage Festival
Sunday March 14 2010 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Event Type: Music
Cost:

Stetson Kennedy, Florida’s most beloved author and human rights activist, will be hosting the 2nd Annual Southern Exposure Music & Heritage Festival March 14th at Alpine Groves Park on 54 beautiful acres adjacent to the St. Johns River. This event is a momentous part of folk history as it reunites Ramblin’ Jack Elliot, the Guthrie Family and Stetson Kennedy for what could be their last reunion performance.

Over a half century ago, Stetson Kennedy infiltrated the KKK, ran for Florida Governor, wrote about Florida folklore, and befriended Ramblin’ Jack Elliott and Woody Guthrie. History was made in St. Johns County by both Kennedy and his frequent house guest, America’s legendary folk balladeer Woody Guthrie (whom wrote 80 songs and his autobiography at the Kennedy residence).

Southern Exposure Music & Heritage festival celebrates the past, present and future with three generations of the Guthrie family, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott and the best in old time music, country, bluegrass, folk, and blues. Activities for everyone include story telling, cultural exhibits, a barn dance, old Florida vendors, pony rides, crafts, and southern cookin.

• Arlo Guthrie's career exploded in 1967 with the release of "Alice's Restaurant," which became nothing less than an anthem of an entire age. His stock in trade comes in the form of classically styled folk songs intermingled with clever storytelling, always reminding one and all of Guthrie's father, the beloved singer/writer/philosopher Woody Guthrie. Now Arlo gathers three generations together on one stage with the Guthrie Family (Abe, Sarah Lee, Cathy, Annie & Johnny), in which the entire family performs favorite songs, Arlo's standards, and a selection of unpublished Woody Guthrie lyrics put to music by friends and family.

• 2010 Grammy award winner Ramblin' Jack Elliott tells stories of riding the rails with Woody Guthrie, carrying only a guitar and a razor. He was mentored by Guthrie, and returned the favor to Bob Dylan and the generation of folksingers who followed. Woody Guthrie had the greatest influence on Jack. Woody's son, Arlo, said that because of his father's illness and early death, he never really got to know him, but learned Woody's songs and performing style from Elliott.

The festival features performances from Lonesome Burt & the Skinny Lizards, Frank Thomas, Alvah Allen, Willie Green, Shorty Robbins, and Anne Feeney.

Proceeds from the event are to benefit the Stetson Kennedy Foundation & the Guthrie Foundation.

Alpine Grove River Park contains 54.5 acres and is located in northwest St. Johns County between the St. Johns River and William Bartram Scenic and Historic Highway (SR13). Access to the festival grounds is best reached through the William Bartram Scenic and Historic Highway, located parallel to the Saint Johns River through a canopy of majestic oak trees.
