The old Philo Records recording studio, at 126 Covered Bridge Road in North Ferrisburgh, will be host to a folk festival celebrating the tradition of Utah Phillips and the contributions of Philo Records. The concert will run from 2 to 8 pm on June 17th and is a benefit to help move Utah Phillips' wooden flanger car to the Black Butte Center for Railroad Culture to restore it into a museum and archive.

Performers include Paul Asbell, Jon Gailmor, Pete Sutherland, Duncan and Brendan Phillips (Utah’s sons), Dan Schatz, a reunion of Bread and Bones, Rick Ceballos and Lausanne Allen, Phil Henry, New Economistas, Rik Palieri, The Young Traditions, and other special guests. Rik Palieri commented that he’s “thrilled to bring together Philo Recording artists, people who played with Utah, and the next generation who can continue the tradition.”

Suggested donation is $20 per person or $35 per family. Rain or shine, the music festival will be held at 126 Covered Bridge Road in North Ferrisburgh. Bring a picnic and chair, no dogs please. For more info, please go to www.tinyurl.com/ConcertUtah or www.tinyurl.com/DonateUtah.
