Ecopalooza: Solar-powered music ’til the sun goes down

On August 7, from 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., sun-powered music will transform Fernhill Park into Ecopalooza, an Environmental Awareness Concert. All eight bands at the free concert will perform from a solar-powered stage.

What happens if the day is cloudy? According to Sustainable Waves, the company providing the solar-powered stage, enough energy can be stored in batteries for six to nine hours of music.

So come rain or shine, celebrate with us at Ecopalooza. The lineup of musicians includes 3RP, Jeff Evans and the Transcendental Brass Band, the Jeff Handley Band, Seven Reasons, Jawbone Flats, Revolver, Rich Layton and the Troublemakers, Speaker Minds, and ISSA. Download your program here.

Friends of Trees is grateful to the Ecopalooza organizers for choosing Friends of Trees and Minority Information Outreach as beneficiaries of the concert. If you can’t come for the whole day, at least drop by to check out the solar-powered stage and to hear some great music.

Hope to see you there!
