Music festival showcases local bands

The Back to the Garden Roots Music Festival is returning to the London area this month for a fifth year. It is presented by the London Music Club and Quiet Earth.

This year's festival is set to feature a large number of local bands and musicians. Among this year's performers are Stegall, The Marrieds, Jesse Nestor, Newport Electric, The Brent Jones Band, Jamie Dean Hudson, Sara Yael and Pete Denomme and the Cosmic Cowboys.

In addition to a full afternoon of musical entertainment, there will be a number of artisan vendors on hand to sell their wares. Items for sale will likely include handmade jewelry, clothing, paintings, home decor and pottery creations. Organizers are still looking for more arts and crafts vendors; spaces are free of charge. Food and drink will also be available for purchase during the day.

Music fans from all over the London area are sure to want to attend this event. To help spread the word, local printing companies may have provided the poster and flyer for this year's festival.

The Back to the Garden Roots Music Festival will be held at the Jones Family farm in Dorchester on August 23 from 12:00 - 7:00 PM. Admission and parking are free of charge. To find out more about this festival or to become a vendor, call 519-640-6996.
