We have just the right mixture of folks who’ve been around awhile and those who are relatively new to performing. For instance we all know who Dr. Elmo is, by his famous song “Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer” though we’re not all familiar with his bluegrass leanings through his band “Wild Blue” Kathy Kallick is another long-time SoCoFoSo favorite. She headlined one of our original Sonoma County Folk Fes- tivals in 999 and it’s certainly time to have her again on the Community Center Stage. This time, Kathy comes with a newly assembled band fresh from rave reviews throughout the Bay Area. The word is a CD is coming at the end of April but meanwhile, the live performance at this festival is our only chance to hear her great music in Sonoma County. Another aural treat at this festival will be the singing of Rita Hosking accompanied by her band, Cousin Jack. Rita has been a favorite performer on the North Coast of California. She was a head turner at the 009 Kate Wolf Festival and we’re excited to have her at our Festival this year. Other performers we’re looking forward to hearing are the exciting bluegrass band 49 Special and a great cowboy band “Lone Prairie”. Ed Neff, the King of Sonoma County Bluegrass, with his amazing band “Blue and Lonesome” will return this year and Evo Bluestein will be here to provide an incredible, not to be missed, hour workshop and perfor- mance in the Community Center’s youth Annex. All in all, we’re looking forward to a great day of music and jamming and keeping this wonderful music alive. We wish to gratefully thank Dr. David Fichman and Ron Blair for their generous donations to the festival!

A banjo concert, autoharp par excellence and a repertoire of American folk songs that you will find fresh and authentic. Multi-instrumentalist and singer Evo Bluestein brings to his music a rich legacy of American folk tradition. Considered one of this country’s most accomplished Appalachian-style autoharpists, Bluestein is equally known as a performer and teacher of oldtime fiddle, button accor- dion, guitar and banjo. “Evo presents a great musical ‘experience.’ It is more than a performance, more than educational, it is a terrific balance of the two.” Scott Jacobs, Concord, CA We’ll clear the chairs and do some clogging, square or contra dances.

Such an event would bring nationally and internationally known performers to our community while also supporting local and regional musical talent. It would be family-oriented and provide much more than just performers on stage, including children’s entertainment, vendors, food and drink, workshops, camping and jamming. It would bring visibility to the Flagstaff area’s natural, cultural and lifestyle riches and generate traffic to boost area business and tourism. To be successful it would require the involvement of the larger Flagstaff community in the form of audience, volunteers and the support of sponsoring businesses. AUDIENCE In 2013 Pickin’ in the Pines will attract an estimated 2,200 ticketed guests. We typically draw our audience from Flagstaff and northern Arizona, Phoenix metro area, Tucson, the greater Southwest, California, elsewhere in the United States and Europe. 2010 surveys indicated: 98% rated the overall event a 4 or 5 on a scale of 1-5 (quality production effort); 68% live >30 miles from Flagstaff (visitors that need services); 35% camped, 14% stayed in hotels (generating .24 room nights per respondent); 46% attended the event previously (generating loyal audience).
