Retrofest

Description

• Our Mission To help revitalize the great genre of music from the great Pop festivals of the late 60's - early 70's To use music as a vehicle for doing good To create opportunities for musicians young and old to relive the genre and get back on the stage.One of the things that emotionally have been so uplifting is to see the faces of older musicians get back on the stage and play the music they loved so much as youth. As these bands and individuals get involved in the project, they feel less marginalized and less jaded by the difficult bar scene that has made it harder and harder for players to perform. The music is a tribute to the great Pop Festivals of the 60's and 70's. With each attempt at tributing Woodstock, we try to come closer and closer to the original arrangements performed in August 69, often following the same order of the set lists (A subset of course!) As word gets out, some of the original performers have worked with or volunteered to work with us such as Ira and Maxine Stone, who played with Bert Sommer on the first day of Woodstock, Jimmy Kunes of Cactus, and David Bennet Cohen of Country Joe and the Fish. And thanks to Facebook, we have also been in contact with Nancy Nevins (Sweetwater) , Melanie, Country Joe McDonald, Steve Knight (Mountain) and Mark Naftalin (Paul Butterfield Blues Band).
