The 4th Annual Music and Arts Festival held in the
beautiful Wolf Creek Pineview Lodge was a huge success. Participants raved about the art, musical and dance performances. Gary Kelso and
Frosty McWilliams of Shades of Grey entertained with their great mixes of modern, bluegrass and acoustic country music.
At times during their performance, having just met Jeff Whitely of Lark &
Spur, the three had great fun playing and singing together.
Deja Mitchell of Valley Dance Ensemble never fails to
deliver. Deja coordinated numerous
dancers and artists from Northern Utah. The crowd was delighted by the movement and
creativity that the dancers brought to the Festival, children participated, belly dancers bared swords and a mother
and her three daughters performed an African dance. The energy was intense and
the crowd joined in at the end in an "African Conga" line.
The
Wilkerson Fine Art & Consulting Artists' Reception was a great success. There were many pieces of exceptional art and
a dozen or more artists were able to join the festivities. The art exhibit
included pottery, jewelry, pastels, oils, and watercolors of figurative, still lifes, abstracts and landscape
art. Kris Wilkerson stated she "was very
pleased with the turnout and interaction between the artists and
attendees." The exhibit continues to be
on display at The Gallery at Wolf Creek through March 14th,
2008.
Accompanying the Artists' Reception were Danielle Vaughn
and Tim Daniels. Danielle is
a soulful singer, songwriter, and performer who captivate her audiences. Her
fans say: "When you hear Danielle sing, you will be transported to new heights
as she puts her heart and soul into each lyric of every song." Tim Daniels, also known as "The Singing
Cowboy" began performing at the
age of 8, playing in his grandfather's band.
He wrote his first song when he was 12. Tim has many passions and draws
from a diverse life experience to create a unique style.
Lark & Spur closed out the evening with Celtic music
and Brazilian Jazz. This quartet offered truly remarkable performances
involving two acoustic guitars, mandolin, base and three voices. Lark & Spur have been featured globally
via performances in France
and Switzerland
and have made numerous appearances on Radio and TV. The group was the perfect finish to the
evening as well as the viewing of the annual and spectacular, Torch Light
Parade at Wolf Mountain.
