The Summer Solstice Festival in its
first year is being organized by the musicians themselves. “The six
of us (musicians) have been meeting monthly at different locations in
the valley to showcase our songs for the community,” says McCall
Erickson, “and we've had an overwhelmingly positive response.
People continue to ask us when we're going to be performing again,
and the demand is getting bigger. Since we're in the 'do it yourself'
age, we decided to organize this festival and give people a chance to
come and see what we are all about.”
“We're creating an festive and fun
atmosphere for people to come and enjoy great food, great music, and
great company,” says Danielle Vaughn. “We have all the perfect
elements up here: beautiful mountain scenery, a quaint, artsy
location in Huntsville Square at the Rendezvous Lodge, and a network
of amazing musicians. Add to that, delicious food with a distinct
summer flavor from Roosters, and we'll have one unforgettable
evening.”
Individuals interested in attending the
event are encouraged to buy tickets in advance as space is limited. A
$25 ticket buys guests a night of music, dinner catered by Roosters,
and s'mores over a bonfire. All ages welcome. Tickets go on sale May
26th at Roosters on Historic 25th in Ogden.
Tickets may be purchased in the restaurant or by calling them at
801-627-6171.
The event is sponsored by Jeff and
Bonnie Hyde, and Kym and Pete Buttschardt of Roosters, and Will van
der Stappen with Advanced Paving and Construction, and Ogden Valley
Magazine.

McCall Erickson
McCall Erickson is a Wyoming native, nursed on the wide-open sky and
Big Horn mountains, she found a second home in the Wasatch Front while
attending Weber State. Among her arsenal of musical instruments she
includes the violin and piano, but is most often seen strumming her
guitar in the twilight hours above a sea of adoring fans, or teaching
in her downtown studio. Altogether an entertainer, her performing
tactic is to engage the audience, often roping them into question and
answer sessions and sing-a-longs. A lover of collage in the visual
arts, McCall’s musical stylings are a blended homage to her great
influences—Mary Chapin Carpenter, EmmyLou Harris, Johnny Cash, Joni
Mitchell and other folk greats--infused with her views on life as one
big poetic journey.

D Scott Williams
 From
salt-tinged surf-beat to the plaintive country fried strains of Hank
and Patsy, to melancholic Coltrane, this surf rat turned plainsman
brings another long buffet of influences to the sonic feast. The
seventies and eighties were a time of blending these influences with
folk and bluegrass to form something of a “style”. “So many cool
instruments and sounds and so little time” is a quote worth note from
this shade of grey. Guitar, dobro, mandolin and bass are“frequent
criers” in the hands of this jack of all strings. His songwriting
usually comes from places in the heart and soul that most of us don’t
visit often. Contact: 745-0402 or

 Born just outside of Los Angeles California in 1980, Brett Turner enters the music scene 28 years later with a suitcase full of memories that lyrically paints a picture against a bluesy acoustic backdrop of sound that will resonate with your soul.
