The Farallons
Saturday, August 20 at 11:00 a.m.
Sunday, August 21 at 11:30 a.m.
The Farallons come from Western rootstock.
That is, the dust in their bones comes from the western third of the North American continent.
The dust in their musical soul comes from folk, rock, classical, jazz, country, latin . . .
you name it. It all appears in the music, some in more of a cameo role than others.
"We are really excited to be playing there again.
It is such a wonderful festival.
Thanks again for having us back."
- Linda Weber, Tom Richardson & Terry Mills
