Ani DiFranco, officially announced as the Sunday
night closing act for the festival, has established herself as
one of the most influential and inspirational artists of the modern
era. DiFranco’s innovative guitar style, signature percussive
fingerpicking, expressive vocals and incisive lyrics – along
with a constitutional inability to be anything less than totally
real – have earned her a loyal, dedicated fan base and ongoing
critical acclaim. With DiFranco, what you see is what you get
– the act of making music is inseparable from the process
of living her life. Friday night’s festival Main Stage rocks
with heavyweight bluesmen Keb’ Mo’
& the Taj Mahal Trio. The legendary Taj,
celebrating the 40th Anniversary of his recording career, plays
his own distinctive brand of music -- variously described as Afro-Caribbean
blues, folk-world-blues, hula blues, folk-funk, and a host of
other hyphenations.
The spectacular array of musicians continues on Saturday, including
Australian natives The Waifs, and David Lindley, one of the great
hidden treasures of the American music scene. Lindley is best-known
for the integral part he played in Jackson Browne's music - it's
hard to imagine what Browne's For Everyman, Late for the Sky,
and Running on Empty albums would have been like without Lindley.
Saturday evening closes with Los Lobos, the veteran East Los Angeles
band that has crossed cultural and generational boundaries for
more than thirty years.
Sunday
brings it all home with phenomenal performances all day, leading
to the festival closing which begins with Ruthie Foster,
the prodigiously gifted singer and songwriter from Texas, and
Greg Brown, whose insightful lyrics paint powerful
and often deceptively simple images on a canvas of gospel, blues,
country, rock, and jazz. The Sunday closer, will be powerfully
filled by the incomparable Ani DiFranco.
This is a show that will be talked about long after it is over.
With the major airlines announcing rate increases of up to 10%
this year, vacationers are camping out, taking long weekend jaunts
instead of traveling to exotic destinations. The inspired line-up
of performing artists, on-site camping, Kids Zone, and “great
vibe” makes the Kate Wolf Memorial Music Festival the perfect
vacation choice this summer. Combine that with the beautiful surroundings
and laid back atmosphere, and you’ll see why the best of
the best continue to be drawn up to Laytonville each year -- for
a little bit of heaven just two hours north of Santa Rosa.
