Way better Artists than at the DJs/ Reggae on the River ,
might have to travel to Boonville
Koffee 🔥 BLVK H3RO
Barrington
Rodigan
And you don’t beat up on the river while you enjoy…You know hurting that river and its creatures is not Rasta, is not Rasta at all
These folks also own 3/4 of Northern Night’s Festival
Which beats up on the river. And all it’s creatures. Cancel my prior comment please….
If you mean the SNWMF folks, no, they don’t. Perhaps a lot of the same people work for both but the owners of SNWMF do not own anything like that.
“Young and Innocent” Half-Pint & Fortunate Youth
This song would be amazing in concert.
WHY even call it a Sierra Nevada World Music Festival ??? It’s NOT in the Sierra Nevada mtns (I think it started in Quincy, CA)
it started a long time ago in Chico and Sierra Nevada Brewery was one of the early sponsors. Then it moved to Marysville, then Angels Camp (closest to actual Sierra Nevadas) and then Mendocino county. The name never really had anything to do with the mountain range.
