THE MUCKRAKES

The Sea Level Song Writer's Festival.

Posted by The Muckrakes , Thursday, April 2, 2009 2:22 PM

The Muckrakes have been asked to play at The 2nd Annual Sea Level Song Writer's Festival on FRIDAY, APRIL 10th at 5:30 in Norfolk (Ghent). We will be outside in Ghent busking acoustically.

What's that?! You don't know what a busker is?! Well, Buskers are that rare breed of street entertainer in search of the best place or "pitch" to perform their artistic endeavor. And busking is a great way to bring the spirit of the Sea Level Singer/Songwriter Festival to Ghent. The Muckrakes will be scheduled to play in pre-designated areas on 21st Street and Colley Avenue throughout the Festival weekend. So bring yourself, your kids and rest of the family (as well as your friends) out and look for us! So c'mon out and listen to the band play that ol' timey music the way it was meant to be played, stripped bare and to the bones. Did we mention that it's FREE?! yep, that's right! FREE!


Jonatha Brooke headlines the Sea Level Singer/Songwriter Festival and Ghent locations will host TAO concerts, events, workshops April 9-11, 2009, with The Muckrakes on April 10th at 5:30.

Tidewater Arts Outreach will also raffle off a Gibson J45 True Vintage guitar (MSRP $3,847).

Gibson’s new J-45 True Vintage captures the genuine spirit of Gibson’s most popular acoustic. Nicknamed “The Workhorse” for its simple, rock-solid construction, the new J-45 True Vintage—hand-made by Gibson Acoustic in Bozeman, Montana—offers the build, materials, looks, and tone of this legendary guitar as it was the day it was first introduced in 1942. This new model stays true to the original in every way, including the same round-shoulder dreadnought body design, with a top made from AA-grade Sitka spruce, custom vintage top bracing, and back and sides constructed from pattern-grade mahogany from Honduras. Raffle tickets are only $10.00!!!

We'll see ya'll on the street of Ghent. Stop by us and say, "Howdy".
