Cabin Fever will open the 2011 Summer Sounds concert series on Friday, July 8 at 7:00 p.m. The concert will take place at Michigan Legacy Art Park’s scenic outdoor amphitheatre, on the grounds of Crystal Mountain Resort & Spa in Thompsonville, Michigan. Concert tickets are $10 per adult, $8 per Art Park member, and free for kids 17 years and under. Members of Michigan Legacy Art Park are hosting the concert.
With over 20 years of entertainment experience, Cabin Fever delights audiences of all ages with an eclectic mix of bluegrass, oldies, country, comedy, and folk. This well seasoned group of northern Michigan musicians features Tom Keen on acoustic guitar and vocals, Tom Fordyce on harmonica and vocals, Kurt Westie on mandolin and vocals, Paul Kirchner on banjo, fiddle and vocals and Jim Curtis on electric bass and vocals. Dubbed “bluegrass musicianaries” by Kirchner's wife, Cabin Fever was voted by the readers of Northern Express as the best bluegrass and folk band in 2001. Learn more about Cabin Fever and listen to song samples at their website: cabin-fever.org.
