Tickets for the Denver Folk & Roots Music Festival 2008 are Now on Sale

With a new Festival date (Friday, March 28, 2008 at 6 p.m.), Swallow Hill Music Association is releasing tickets to the general public starting Monday, December 3, 2007.

Denver, CO (PRWEB) November 28, 2007 -- Denver -- Swallow Hill Music Association is proud to present the Second Annual Denver Folk & Roots Festival on Friday, March 28, 2008 (note new date), in one of the finest acoustic concert halls in the United States, the Ellie Caulkins Opera House at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts, 950 13th St., Denver, Colo., 80204.

Tickets will be available on Monday, December 3 at 11 a.m. online at www.swallowhillmusic.org, by phone at 303.777.1003 or at our box office located on 71 E. Yale Ave., Denver, Colo., 80210.

We are pleased that two legendary artists, Bruce Cockburn and Nanci Griffith, headline the 2008 Denver Folk & Roots Music Festival.

Bruce Cockburn's collected work is a journey--both moody and revelatory--into the dark night and the sweet laughter of the soul, traveling around the world with vivid imagery and unflinching observations of the human condition. Over the years, artists as diverse as Barenaked Ladies, Jimmy Buffett, Anne Murray, Maria Muldaur, The Rankins, Dan Fogelberg, Holly Near and Chet Atkins have interpreted Cockburn's work, and he was particularly flattered to have his "Waiting for a Miracle" covered by Jerry Garcia.

Nanci Griffith's admirers are legion (Bob Dylan specifically requested that she sing "Boots of Spanish Leather" at his historic Madison Square Garden anniversary concert), and she has penned some of country music's most enduring compositions, including Emmylou Harris' and Willie Nelson's "Gulf Coast Highway," Kathy Mattea's "Love at the Five and Dime" and "Listen to the Radio," and Suzy Bogguss' "Outbound Plane." A survivor of breast cancer and thyroid cancer, she has continued to lend her aid to various charities, including Campaign for a Landmine-Free World.
