Spend a perfect afternoon in a scenic park alongside the North Fork of the Feather River… Sip on a tasty micro-brew… Enjoy some sunny summer afternoon music… Music and beer samplings take place from 2pm to 7pm. There will also be nonalcoholic beverages and food for sale by Sierra Smoke Pit. $25 presale discount beer tasting tickets are available in Chester at Plumas Bank in Chester and Books & Beyond. At the gate the ticket price will be $30. Plumas Arts has been the event's sponsor for many years. The event is staffed by community volunteers who help with the set up, beer serving, clean-up and take down and all other aspects of the event. |
MUSIC for the Afternoon
2pm to 3:30pm RELENTLESS was created in 2018 in Lassen County, CA. Guitarist Mike Pepetone and his vocalist wife Julianne Pepetone have performed locally since 1992 in numerous bands, including the Saloonatics Blues Band that won the 2001 Siskiyou Blues Competition. Thomas Braun (bass) has worked with the Susanville Symphony since 2004. Dave “Pee Wee” Besancon (drums, guitar), another long-time music veteran, rounds out the basic Relentless lineup. They play a variety of their own compositions and quality songs by other composers, including rock, blues, country and folk music. Often, Gary Renaud (voice, guitar), a former Portola resident, joins in with his own original songs. The result is an eclectic entertainment experience unique in northern CA. 4pm to 6:30pm HOT FLASH is a six-piece party band from Northern California that plays everything from Chuck Berry to Prince. Shows feature an eclectic mix of Rock & Roll, Blues, Funk, Country and Pop songs ranging from this decade back to the 1950’s. Voted Best Local Music Act in the News & Review’s “Best of Chico” for 2017 and 2018, Hot Flash boasts six great vocalists, two killer guitar players and a wild good time! |
