Porkbelly Futures opens (on August 25) the inaugural season of The Forest Festival, a celebration of the arts in Ontario's Haliburton Forest and Wildlife Reserve. The band will be performing at sunset on a floating stage on a totally secluded lake, with the audience seated in an amphitheatre on shore. Noted blues/jazz vocalist Zoe Chilco will be our guest.
Porkbelly Stu is festival director, as it happens, as well as board president of Patria Music/Theatre Projects, which presents the environmental music dramas of renowned Canadian composer R. Murray Schafer. The Forest Festival is an outgrowth of Patria, which boasts honourary patrons such as Adrienne Clarkson and Paul Quarrington. But we digress. You can learn more about the festival and book your tickets HERE.
