A Note From Helen . . . This week’s eTown broadcast with Michael Franti & Spearhead and The John Butler Trio
by helen ~ July 27th, 2010. Filed under: Uncategorized.Hello everyone,
Back by popular demand, we feature the encore airing of Part Two of one of our past ‘Green Rocks at Red Rocks’ events, this one originally taped in 2007. We recorded it live at the exquisite Red Rocks Amphitheatre in front of a packed house of 9,000 attendees. This particular ‘Green Rocks’ live taping was quite the eco-event: we brought recycling, zero waste zones, renewable energy use, biodiesel bus transportation, carpool incentives, and more to Red Rocks for the very first time. This week as in last week (when we re-aired part one of this 2007 Green Rocks show), you’ll hear exciting live performances and intimate, ‘behind-the-scenes’ artist interviews. There’s more music from Michael Franti & Spearhead, plus a great live performance from (and candid conversation with) the John Butler Trio. Tune in this week!
(Please note: If you’re in the Denver area this Friday, July 30, we are taping THIS year’s Green Rock event, this time with full concert sets from Lyle Lovett and Taj Mahal. It’ll be another great evening at Red Rocks, a full evening of music that we will tape and then work into a two-part broadcast for the air, scheduled to air this fall. The Eco Square is back too, at the top of Red Rocks on the Plaza, featuring booths with eco-info, product sampling, tons of fun AND those fabulous views! It’ll take your breath away.
Tickets are still available, so come be with the whole eTown gang, as we tape eTown’s Green Rocks at Red Rocks 2010. It’s an evening not to be missed, (again, it’s a full concert night of music) at one of the most stunning outdoor venues in the world. Find more information about this wonderful live event, or learn how to buy tickets at our website www.etown.org – I’ll look for you there!).
Helen
