Mountain Aid, Blissfest, Arvada, CO, Ripley (believe it or not!) WV, Long's Park, Falcon Ridge....through sun, wind, and rain- the music must be delivered!!!!  (Or is that the mail......?)  And stuff just happens out there (see photo on left)!!!   Do yourself a favor, and get out there with Kathy and the Gang for an outdoor concert this summer.   A little rain and/or sunburn is your badge of courage, letting folks know that you've gone that extra mile to hear lots of great, eclectic music in beautiful, natural surroundings.   Kathy has some great shows coming up in the next few months: OUTSIDE at Research Park on the U of Illinois campus in Champaign Urbana, the inaugural Move the Muse Festival near Boston, the Ozark Folk Art Center in Arkansas, and the Buckwheat Festival in Kingwood, WV.   We'll keep the lantern burnin' and the bug spray ready...see ya out there!!! Make your plans now, and check www.mattea.com for details.
