LUDLOW - Barenaked Ladies and Guster will headline the second
annual FestEVOL concert series. FestEVOL 2012 will kick off at
Crested Butte on March 17-18. From there, the music and mountain
lifestyle celebration moves east to Okemo Mountain Resort, March
24-25, and finally to Mount Sunapee Resort, March 31 - April 1.
FestEVOL 2012 will combine snowsports and live music at the
nation's premier mountain resorts.
"It is our goal to give our FestEVOL attendees a weekend escape
where they can enjoy great music, awesome snow and delicious food
with their friends and families," said Andrew Jaffe, EVOL Foods
vice president of marketing. "In its second year, FestEVOL is going
to be better and more exciting with the music of Barenaked Ladies
and Guster."
The band Barenaked Ladies is coming off a break from their 2011
summer tour and the September release of their greatest hits album,
Hits From Yesterday & the Day Before.
"We love to ski and board at all three of these resorts," said
Ed Robertson of Barenaked Ladies. "Being a part of FestEVOL allows
us to share our passion for music and winter snowsports with all of
our loyal fans."
Guster, known for such hits as "Amsterdam," "Satellite" and "Do
You Love Me?" has become well known for their music and for
their nonprofit organization, Reverb, founded by band member Adam
Gardner and his wife, Lauren, in 2004.
Reverb will be actively involved at each FestEVOL location in an
effort to keep the event as green and sustainable as possible. The
Reverb Eco Village highlights environmental nonprofit groups
alongside alternative energy exhibits. It also includes food
sampling from top natural food brands plus ski and snowboard
equipment demos with Nordica, Ramp, and Burton Snowboards.
Additional musical artists playing at FestEVOL will be announced
soon.
