About the Festival
Steve Mullins, musician extraordinaire, lives on a farm about 35 miles north of Denver. His beautiful log home has been the site of many wonderful house concerts. One day he suggested to Edward Dick that it might be fun to get together and have a concert featuring the banjola. Edward suggested that it might be fun to do it outdoors. And why not invite some other banjola performers?
Musicicans were very responsive, others expressed a desire to attend. Thus was born The First Ever Colorado Banjola Festival in August 2009.
2nd Ever Banjola Festival (and picnic concert) will be held @ Willow Farm in Hygiene CO. August 21, 2010, 6PM
Featuring performers will be Edward Victor Dick, Steve Mullins, and Douglas John Cameron.
Edward will also be releasing his new Classic Banjola cd.
Steve will be performing solo on the 9 string banjola as well as with his brother Brian on the mandolin.
Douglas will bring his beautiful voice all the way from Toronto and headline the show. He has arranged several new songs specifically for banjola accompaniment. Listen here, or Go here to purchase and more samples:
