MUSIC AT THE MOUNDS!!! Come and enjoy a whole day's buffet of music, and visit with archaeologists who are rediscovering Southwest Florida's past.
MUSIC AT THE MOUNDS will be held in Pineland, Florida, on the grounds of the Randell Research Center, location of an internationally significant archaeological site occupied by the Calusa Indians as early as 2,000 years ago. Bring your lawn chair, settle in, and enjoy the day.
This exciting one-day music festival will benefit the non-profit Randell Research Center. The Center is a research and education program of the Florida Museum of Natural History. The Center also hosts the popular Calusa Heritage Trail, an educational walking trail voted Pine Island’s “best tourist attraction” for the past three years.
MUSIC AT THE MOUNDS will consist of professional groups playing a wide spectrum of musical offerings. Dixieland jazz will be provided by the popular PALM CITY DIXIELAND BAND. Bluegrass fans will tap their toes to the award-winning TOMORROW'S NEWS. The versatile and crowd-pleasing SUZANNE LANSFORD will entertain with her violin stylings. As an additional treat, young musicians from two local high schools will showcase their talents. The mix is certain to provide a taste for every musical palate.
MC for the event is the charismatic Jim Syoen, co-star of FOX 4 television’s morning “FOX 4 RISING.”
The program will start at 10:00 A.M. and end at 5:30 P.M. The main stage will provide six 45-minute sessions by professional musicians to delight the audience.
Patrons will be free to move back and forth to the different stages as they desire. Food vendors and representatives of community organizations will be in attendance.
Randell Research Center archaeologists will be on hand to explain the valuable work being performed by scientists of the Florida Museum of Natural History, and an archaeological dig will be open for inspection by the public.
Your price for the entire day's entertainment is only $20 per person. Advance tickets will be available from service clubs and retail establishments. For further information, call D.L. Havlin, Chairman, Music at the Mounds, at 239-994-0366 or the RRC at 239-283-2157.
