News from the Kerrville Folk Festival & Fall Music Fundraiser
Kerrville, Texas (PRWEB) July 25, 2013 -- The full evening schedule for the KERRVILLE FALL MUSIC FUNDRAISER is now posted on our website at http://www.kerrvillefolkfestival.org. It’s happening Labor Day Weekend, that’s August 30 - September 1. This celebration of songwriters and Texas wines and microbrews will be held at the Quiet Valley Ranch, nine miles south of the Texas Hill Country resort community of Kerrville on TX Hwy 16.
The music is featured in three five-hour concerts starting each evening at 7 PM. The outdoor theater gates open at 6 PM. Come early and get your favorite spot reserved with a blanket or a pillow on the wooden benches or bring your own chair and sit on the hill. Also plan to come out for the two-hour afternoon concerts from 1 – 3 PM on Saturday and Sunday at the Threadgill Theater, under fully covered seating.
The performers for the Friday August 31st evening concert include Gordy Quist & Ed Jurdi of the Band of Heathens (Austin TX), Jon Vezner (Nashville TN), The Farewell Drifters (Nashville TN) and MilkDrive (Austin TX).

The best in Texas Microbrews will be presented alongside the wonderful variety of Texas wines that have been featured for over 20 years. The seminar for Texas wines and food pairings will be on Saturday from 3:30 - 5:30PM and the seminars for Texas craft beers and bites on Sunday at the same time. In recent years wines from Texas have compared favorably to those from France, California and the rest of the world. The goal for the wine and beer tasting portion of the program is to send guests home with a greater understanding and appreciation for the ‘spirits’ of Texas. After 6 PM each evening, the Texas wineries and microbreweries will have booths in the main stage theater where they will have tastes, glasses, and bottles of their current wines and brews available for sale. There will be opportunities to speak to skilled Home Brewers, who will be offering informational seminars and have home brewing equipment available too.
VIP events (see the ticketing page for info on these soirées with food and drinks and gifts).
A wide range of food and beverages are available in the theater and the campgrounds. Also featured will be several Arts & Crafts booths, escorted Hill Country bike rides, yoga, and like the Kerrville Folk Festival in the spring, spectacular after-hours song circles and jam sessions in the campgrounds.
The three-day, Labor Day weekend advance discount adult ticket price is $100 and includes campground access and lot parking. Single-day, advance discounted tickets are currently available at a $5 savings each night. Advance prices will expire midnight, August 27th.
