DESCRIPTION:\nFESTIVAL OF MUSICIANS to DONATE $1,000,000 in TICKETS to
  GULF COAST DEEP HORIZON OIL SPILL CLEANUP WORKERS.\n\nMobile, Al, Jun
 e 7, 2010 — Festival of Musicians organizers have authorized the don
 ation of 1 million dollars worth of passes to the July 8-12 Festival o
 f Musicians to Gulf Coast Deep Horizon Oil Spill Cleanup Workers.\n\nF
 estival of Musicians Exec. Producer, Rick Shell says, \"I see these gu
 ys working so hard every day, some of them far from home, and they are
 n't getting much in the way of R&R. That's no way to fight a battle. W
 e (The Festival of Musicians) have been discussing different ways we m
 ight be able to help with the cleanup effort, and realized, the best t
 hing we could offer, is the thing we have an abundance of, Great enter
 tainment\". Shell cites Bob Hope and the USO's work along similar line
 s entertaining troops and workers during other crisis as an inspiratio
 n.\n\nRegarding distribution, Shell said, \"as much as possible, the F
 estival of Musicians passes will be distributed directly to oil spill 
 cleanup workers and they can also get will-call passes online by going
  to festival website at FestivalofMusicians.com and clicking on the Oi
 l Spill Cleanup Assistance link. We do ask that people try to carpool 
 in groups to avoid overloading parking facilities, not to mention savi
 ng gas\".\n\nBilled as a Music Festival for MUSICIANS, The 5 days fest
 ival features a large variety of musical acts from all over America in
  such diverse genres such as Rock, Reggae, Country, Blues, Americana, 
 Jazz, Folk, Punk, Bluegrass and \"just about any other thing you can t
 hink of\".\n\nAsked about headliners, Shell responded, \"This is diffe
 rent from any music festival you have ever attended. We try to let eve
 ryone start out on equal footing, and every band, singer, songwriter h
 as a shot at headliner status. The audience decides who the biggest st
 ars are. If we had to call out headliners they would include Queensryc
 hes \"America Soldier\" AJ Fratto with Pensacola's own stadium rock ve
 terans \"Below the Stitch\". SugarBear Trio, whose super star cast fou
 nded the well known \"boy band\" NSYNC, and has since gone on to touri
 ng projects with the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Goo Goo Dolls, REM, Police
  etc. Jody Payne was Willie Nelsons lead guitarist for the last 30 odd
  years, Bo Roberts was Hank Williams Jr's band leader and lead guitar,
  i- tegrity are masters of Roots Reggae and regulars with Bob Marleys 
 Wailers Band. I could fill up this page talking about the talent and s
 till not get to half of them. This festival is not about prima donnas 
 though. It is as grass roots as it gets, and the focus is 100% MUSIC. 
 Like I said. There's never been anything like it.\"\n\nThe Festival of
  Musicians 5 DAYS of PEACE LOVE & MUSIC. Takes place July 8-12 in the 
 beautiful new Baldwin Co. Bicentennial Park. Located right on the edge
  of Hastie Lake, North of Spanish Fort on Hwy 225 or from Mobile it is
