Snapshots From the Music Fest

Here are a few pictures from our first annual CROP Music Fest that was held on Saturday, Aug. 11, in the field at Bethlehem Lutheran Church.

At the top we have the Micah Watson Band, the "house band" from Liberty Baptist Church in Hampton, Virginia, delivering up one of their worshipful originals; from left to right: T Fortune, Micah Watson, Jason Gardner, and Joe Blount. These guys rocked! Check them out at http://www.micahwatsonband.com/.








Next is Jan T presenting the check for $2001 to the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank rep, Ruth Jones. The Food Bank is one of four local agencies that our Crop Hunger Walk supports. It is located in Verona and supplies most of the area food closets with food stuffs and other household items. Find out more about the Food Bank by clicking on the link in the Links section below on the left.





The crowds were entertained between sets by David Rose the Jugglerman all the way from Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Actually David also plays drums in the legendary cult band, RockSalt, that once upon a time (1997-98) served as the house band at the Solid Rock Cafe. RockSalt reunited for this event and opened up the festival with an ecelectic set of covers ranging from Neil Young and the Beatles to Audio Adrenaline and Derek Webb. As a special treat, drummer David brought his bag of juggling tricks and put on quite a show.






And here's Jan again, presenting another $2001 check, this time to Terry Team, director of the Daily Living Center, an extension of the Valley Program for Aging Services. Can't you tell that Jan just LOVES to give away money!?








Covenant played third and closed out the festival with a set of devotional songs that truly gave the glory and praise to God. The band is affiliated with Faith Point Church in Waynesboro and has begun to really make a name for itself in our area and around the state. From left to right: Mack, Richard, Roc, Tammy, Philip, Tanya, and about half of Randy on bass. You can find more about Covenant at http://www.covenantband.net/.
