THE BEST 5 DAYS OF YOUR SUMMER
www.GettysburgFestival.org Printed In Partnership with the Gettysburg Times 2 • Gettysburg Times • Gettysburg Fest • Saturday, June 7, 2014 GettysburgFestival.org Starting this year, the “new” condensed five-day Gettysburg Fest (June 11-15) offers an action- packed, must attend experience for locals and visitors alike. I refer to it as “The Best Five Days of Your Summer!” We are very excited to call the historic Gettysburg College campus our new home for what we consider the “core festival”—the Thursday June 12 through Saturday June 14— of the event. This year, attendees will be able to enjoy over 50 live performances on three outdoor stages and four indoor venues. We have teamed with three wonderful new partners to present the entertainment on these three primary stages: Fitzgerald Auto Malls, XFINITY and Troegs Brewing. The best local, regional and national entertainment—representing Broadway to Alternative Rock, from Classical to Country, Blues to R&B— will energize Gettysburg this coming week! The US Army Concert Band and Soldiers’ Chorus returns as does the always popular Blues BBQ; and we will offer an all-new comedy night—Laughing With Lincoln—present- ed by Steven B. Wiley and the Lincoln Leadership Institute. We close the event on Father’s Day, June 15th with a powerful, memorable production of “Beyond Glory”, starring world-re- nowned actor, Stephen Lang! We are selling tickets but all are affordable—the most expensive ticket price being $50 (and that includes a ‘meet and greet’ with Stephen Lang!). Most tickets are in the $15 to $30 range for some really world-class entertainment—the caliber of tal- ent you expect to spend much more to see! We will offer seven different visual arts exhibits to showcase the best talent in the region. Returning is the annual Juried Art Show, in collaboration with the Adams County Arts Council; and two new student exhibits at the Musselman Library. A number of popular programs are back and in new locations throughout the campus: the plein air artist exhibit and fun Quick Draw competition presented by ACNB Bank; and the Edible Art Tour serves up the best visual and culinary art Gettysburg has to offer! The community’s merchants and organizations are still a “part of the show” through the annual Gettysburg Fest Fringe, presented by ACNB Bank. You will struggle (in a fun way!) to decide where to start to take in the approximately 25 different events offered by the Fringe! On Saturday, we offer six hours of amazing, free, family-friendly events as part of the new Family Celebration presented by PNC “Grow Up Great” and WellSpan Gettysburg Hospital. Families will be able to “make and take” art projects, be a part of the “Carnival of the Arts”, with a theme of Venice in celebration. Our popular Brass Band Festival returns, with a new twist that is sure to please guests of all ages—the Old Fashioned Pie and Ice Cream Social, presented by Kennie’s Markets and Turkey Hill Dairy! You will even be able to cheer on your favorite restaurant server in the First Annual Waiter-Waitress Challenge! Thank you to our Fest sponsors—partners, really. While too numerous to mention in this introduction, the Gettysburg Fest is mostly a free and family-friendly event because of their investment—in time, financial support, and spirit. Please take a mo- ment to look at our sponsor page at the end of this program booklet—and show your appreciation for their investment in this event. We really could not offer this level and variety of programming without them. We retained what was great with the “old festival” as we built the “new fest”. We continue offering the best performance, visual and culinary arts in the region. The Gettysburg Fest: Arts and Culture, Here and Now. This is YOUR festival—make the experience your own…but please experience it. Bring a friend.

Picking a favorite would be like choosing among one’s children, Lang said, but the story of U.S. Sen. Daniel Inouye is “beautiful.”
Before becoming the first Japanese-American to serve in the U.S. House and U.S. Senate, Inouye earned his Medal of Honor during World War II. His unit captured German machine-gun emplace- ments in Italy, with Inouye continuing to fight and lead even after a grenade shattered his right arm.
Lang performed the piece for Inouye on the occasion of his 80th birthday. “He wept and said he wished his father could have seen it,” Lang said, adding that other medal recipients have seen and been moved by the show.
The show’s central question, Lang said, is what led the men to “the crazy moment when they go above and beyond,” and what changes rippled outward from the profound “pebble in the pond of their lives.”
“Their lives articulate several qualities that are among the most noble qualities a person can have - courage, humility, fortitude,” Lang said He said he hopes “it rubs off on you,” because the men’s character “represents an ideal not merely in combat, but really in life.”
“Truthfully, these are ancient stories,” Lang said, and could just as easily have come from ancient battles like Agincourt or Thermopy- lae.
“There is a universality to them.,” he said, and for that reason the audience doesn’t need to come to the show with a detailed knowledge of history or a particular political stance regarding any 6 • Gettysburg Times • Gettysburg Fest • Saturday, June 7, 2014 GettysburgFestival.org
The Lone Bellow set to perform at Gettysburg Fest By Ashley Andyshak Hayes Bluegrass Festival.

Georgia native Williams started writing when his wife suffered a spinal cord injury in a horseback riding accident and was diagnosed as a paraplegic. For months she underwent intensive therapy at the Shepard Center in Atlanta, and Williams dealt with his emotions in his journal. “I was going through obviously a very hard time,” he said. “I started reading (friends) my journal entries, and they encouraged me to learn to play the guitar and play at open mics.”
Williams’ wife eventually regained her ability to walk, and the couple set out for New York to see where Williams’ songwriting talent would take them. After working for a while as a solo artist, Williams said he remembers the day The Lone Bellow was born at a Brooklyn diner. Williams’ childhood friend Brian Elmquist was working a shift at Dizzy’s Diner, and Williams stopped by to try out some new songs. The two grew up together in Georgia and had actually performed together at a wedding, Williams said. “It was a lot of fun from the get-go,” he said. Williams asked singer The Lone Bellow Kanene Pipkin to join their informal jam session, and after a few songs, Williams said he knew he wanted to leave his solo act behind and be a part of this new creation, which ultimately became The Lone Bellow. The band’s self-titled debut album contains songs from Williams’ own Unique Treasures experience with tragedy as well as situations faced by close friends. and Gifts “It flows between tragedy and hope and betrayal and redemption,” he said. The perfect gift every time.
The band’s harmonies shine in every song, complemented by Elmquist on guitar, Ben Mars on bass, Brian Murphy on keyboards, Matt Knapp • ORGANIC BATH & BODY • ARTISAN CRAFTED HANDBAGS on lap steel and electric guitar, Jason Pipkin on banjo and mandolin, • AROMATIC CANDLES • EFFUSION LAMPS and Brian Griffin on drums.

The band is already working on a new album, due out this winter, and all three members are taking part in the songwriting process, Williams said. “Songwriting has become a daily routine for me,” he said. “It’s very important to us that we all write everything together. We want to curate art together.”
Williams said working with The Lone Bellow offers a much richer experience than performing solo. “It definitely feels a lot better making music with your best friends,” he said. “There wasn’t any real give and ELEGANCE IN ART • Fri., June 13 & Sat., June 14 take (as a solo artist).

After college, Streeter lived and performed in Washington, D.C.and San Francisco and now lives in Brooklyn and performs in New York City. He is currently working on another album, which is expected to be out this fall.
Streeter said he is very exciting about performing at Gettysburg Fest again. He took to the stage in 2008 and 2012. “It is definitely some Barn extra pressure in some way,” Streeter said, comparing a performance in his hometown to a show in New York. “Everyone wants to come back and do good for the people they grew up around.” Sale
Those who remember Streeter’s music from his high school days may get a sense of deja vu. “Some of the songs I wrote when I was really young I still play today,” he said.
Hull writes in a variety of styles, from pop-rock to alt-country. After leaving Gettysburg, he studied at Boston’s Berklee College of Music and currently lives in Philadelphia. Hull performs annually at Gar- ryowen’s Irish Pub in Gettysburg, but is excited about the opportu- nity to perform outdoors at the Fest and introduce new listeners to his music.
“A lot of time people don’t come to a festival because of a specific artist, they come out just because it is a festival,” he said. When Jones takes to the stage, he will be surrounded by his band, Molehill. Molehill headlines some of Chicago’s most prominent venues and tours throughout the country.
