1999 THIRSTY EAR FESTIVAL

August 27 - 28
JW Eaves Ranch
Santa Fe, New Mexico



We've grown by leaps and bounds since our inaugural festival in the summer of 1999. But our first year still feels very special. In the words of Dirty Linen magazine, "The triumphant high point (among many high points) was the long set by Texas songwriting saint Guy Clark...Clark shared one of the most astounding moments ever, at any festival, when he sang his harrowing tale of a gunman grown old, while lightning cracked the sky and lit that Old West street like ghost riders come to call. You don't get moments like that often in life."
