We are proud to announce the
2001 THIRSTY EAR FESTIVAL

Aug. 31-Sept. 2 Bonanza Creek Ranch Santa Fe, New Mexico Set in an Old West ranch modeled on a turn-of-the-century western town, this year offers a characteristic mix of raw blues, Americana, and roots rock. A second stage in the rowdy saloon presents a variety of short sets throughout the weekend as well as late-night blues jams hosted by Kenny Brown and Alex Maryol. Friday night's popular pre-festival blues jam, with a whole bunch of blues artists, will be held at the Santa Fe Brewing Co., and will be hosted by Alex Maryol.
