The festival kicks off with a fundraiser dinner benefiting the Music Maker Foundation, featuring an intimate performance from a traditional blues artist, dinner from Bravo TV’s Top Chef Eliza Gavin and a chance to meet founder of the foundation, Tim Duffy. Music Maker is a 501(c)(3) organization that supports the day-to-day needs of artists who create traditional American music, ensures their voices are heard and provides broader access to America’s hidden musical treasures.

The evening also includes a six-course beer-pairing dinner at the Madeline Hotel featuring live music from Myron Elkins and conversation with representatives from six attending breweries. This year’s opening show, Bal De Maison, will showcase an exclusive performance by Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country at the historic Sheridan Opera House.

Festival bars will also offer a rotating selection of craft beers from attending breweries, rare releases from Sierra Nevada Brewing Co., and a full cocktail and wine menu.
