“America’s Oldest Continuing Summer Chamber Music Festival”

(Falls Village, CT) America's oldest continuing summer chamber music festival, Music Mountain, announces its first Country Music Series to begin Saturday, July 23^rd (6:30PM).  Located in the northwest corner of Connecticut in the town of Falls Village, the 2011 season will see Music Mountain welcome a trio of special Country Music groups to Gordon Hall scheduled to perform on three Saturday evenings through August 27th. 

"We are very excited about the addition of Country Music to our summer schedule.  We look forward to the success of these concerts and consider these three concerts the launch of our annual Country Music series,” stated Music Mountain's board president Nicholas Gordon.

The first Country Music concert on Saturday, July 23^rd (6:30pm) will feature the much honored and very popular Bushwhack Band with a jambalaya of Cajun, Country and Zydeco music and dancing.  "Let the Good Times Roll". 

The Whiskey Boys follows up on Saturday, August 13^th (6:30PM) featuring a young fiddle and guitar duo playing Blue Grass and Old Time Country Music.  David Delaney (violin) and Mark Kilianski (guitar) will be joined by their special guests - banjoist and vocalist Maggie Mackay, and double bass player, Ben Kopf.  "The Whiskey Boys' sound is an infectious mix of Old Time Bluegrass, Irish folk tunes and original melodies with a great pop sensibility. Their songs will leave your foot tapping and a smile on your face!" — Sara Beesley, Programming Manager at Joe's Pub , New York, NY
