They’re back! The irrepressible fiddler Paul Woodiel and bagpiper/flutist Christopher Layer are returning to the Moab Music Festival to delight patrons with multiple samplings of traditional music. Their Music Walk concert is already sold out, but you can still see them perform in three deliciously entertaining concerts. Paul and Christopher will join with guitarist Steve Gibb, nyckelharpist Sandra Wong and improvisational cellist Greg Heffernan in programs that range from an exploration of songs about sleep to a traditional musical journey through Scandinavian instrumental music. Sandstone Slumber Party – Sleep at the Ranch Trade your boots for bunny slippers at a private ranch outside of Moab for our September 9 Ranch Concert – a sandstone slumber party. Paul and his merry troupe of instrumentalists transcend landscape and enter into dreamscape with traditional music, tales and poetry exploring humanity’s most essential natural state: Sleep. The concert, entitled The Lyre of Morpheus, embraces the luminous quality of sleep in a glorious setting, lush with shadows falling across canyon walls, the background sounds of the rolling Colorado River, and made complete with hors d’oeuvres, wine and bedtime stories. Norse by Norse (West) Not the plot of your typical Hitchcock film, Norse by Norse(West) showcases the deliciously witty musical expeditions of regional traditional sounds made famous by Woodiel, Layer and Gibb at previous Moab Music Festival performances. Norse by Norse(West) on Saturday, September 12, weaves the glistening, austere landscapes of wintry Scandinavia with the thread of a crisp, fall evening at Sorrell River Ranch, beside the Colorado River. Woodiel’s Norwegian Hardanger fiddle joins with Sandra Wong’s haunting Swedish nyckelharpa to present an evening of Scandinavian and Norse music. Together with guitarist Steve Gibb and cellist Greg Heffernan they are hoping to awaken Näcken, the Scandinavian water spirit who lives in rivers and streams to rise up from the Colorado to join them with her fiddle. Traditional Music in the Grotto Finally, on Monday, September 14, Chris Layer will bring his pipes to “nature’s perfect concert hall”, the beautiful grotto where the Moab Music Festival will be hosting its final benefit event. Much of the afternoon’s performance will be devoted to Bach, including his rich mellifluous Brandenburg Concerto No.6. But Layer and Sandra Wong will intend give Bach “a run for his notes” with several specially chosen traditional pieces that will fit with the incredible setting.

Clint MacBeth opened Skydive Moab’s doors in November of 2003. Clint, with over 15 years skydiving experience and 6000+ skydives, has always wanted to own his own skydiving center. BASE-jumping brought Clint to Moab a few winters past and the wheels started turning, the next thing you know, Skydive Moab was born. Right now, they are a small skydiving center, catering mostly to tandem jumpers and the occasional experienced skydiver passing through Moab. Despite the size of the dropzone (or maybe because of) both first-time and veteran jumpers alike, leave with an experience to remember! Skydive Moab offers a welcoming atmosphere and some of the most unique scenery in the country for jumpers to enjoy! The landscape offers one of kind opportunities for adventure that “we think will take the sport to the next level.” Now, after 5 very successful years of holding the ‘Mother Of All Boogies’ (M.O.A.B.) skydiving event, Skydive Copies and Moab is again teaming up with Skydive Arizona, (one of the busiest skydiving centers in the world) to hold the 6th Annual Skydiving event on Thursday, September 24 – 27, 2009. “In addition to being a fun acronym, we really want this Service! boogie to live up to its name!” Skydive Arizona will bring their 2 massive planes with them. The 23 passenger Skyvan and Twin Otter (both turbine, multi engines) and some additional event staff for organizing and manifesting. Tandem skydives will be discounted to only $229 for the weekend with locals receiving and additional 15% off! After enjoying a 20-minute scenic flight, first time jumpers will exit the aircraft at 13,000 feet above the ground and free-fall for almost a minute before the instructor deploys their parachute! During the free-fall they will reach speeds of up to 120 mph and will be falling at 174 feet per second. That’s almost 6 seconds every thousand feet! After the instructor pulls the ripcord at 5000 feet, the parachute opens and student and instructor float gently back to earth. During the 5-7 minute canopy ride the pair will again experience the beauty of the Colorado River, Dead Horse Point, Castleton Tower, Arches and Canyonlands National Parks and so much more! If you haven’t seen Moab from a birds- eye-view, you haven’t really seen Moab! During the four-day festival, jumping will take place at the Moab Airport, located just 15 minutes north of the Colorado River. So, whether you want to make your first skydive or just want to enjoy lunch under a sky full of brightly colored canopies, come out and share in the excitement! 375 South Main Sept 24 – 27, 2009. 8 AM to Sunset (In Front of of City Market) Hope to see you there!
