This year’s Song and Sory Fest, titled “Blue Ridge: Singin’ the Blues, Searchin’ the Stars!” takes place July 6-12 at Camp Brethren Woods in Keezletown, Va. This annual family camp featuring Church of the Brethren musicians and storytellers and friends is co-sponsored by On Earth Peace.
“Ccome and sing with us!” said an invitation. “Hear the stories of hope and new life! Recommit yourself to the journey toward justice for all, mercy for the poor and the refugee, telling the story of Jesus’ love for the oppressed and heavy laden. Yes, it’s time to sing the blues, but also to renew the struggle that never ends! Together we’ll find some vistas of hope and understanding to rest upon and regroup! Join us as we sing the blues and search the stars!”
Storytellers and workshop leaders include Susan Boyer, Anna Lisa Gross, Matt Guynn, Kathy Guisewite, Jonathan Hunter, and Jim Lehman.
Campfire, workshop, and concert musicians include Rhonda and Greg Baker, Louise Brodie, Hannah Button-Harrison, Erin and Cody Flory Robertson, Katie Loomis-Adams, Chris Good, Michael Overman, Sadie Gustafson-Zook, Peg Lehman, and Mike Stern.
