Downtown Dixon will play host
to a new music and food festival on Saturday, August 10 at the Beanblossom Music
Festival in downtown Dixon.
Featuring JC Brooks and the Uptown Sound, Gina Venier & the Gentlemen, and
many more great musicians, this one-day festival will run from 5 p.m. - 1 a.m.
at the Beanblossom Parking Lot in the heart of downtown Dixon.
Josh Albrecht, executive director of Dixon Main Street, said the concert will
be a great evening of music and food.
"This Beanblossom Festival has a fantastic line-up of
musicians and we are excited to bring another great addition to the downtown Dixon calendar of
events," Albrecht said.
Along with the great music, the event will feature fantastic
food by local restaurants Orom and Mama Ciminos.
"We wanted a unique and original experience for the
downtown," Albrecht said. "Utilizing the Beanblossom parking area is
a great way to showcase the five bars that surround the area."
JC Brooks and the Uptown sound are currently touring to
support their latest album Howl. Fresh off a performance at Milwaukee's
Summerfest, the band continues to tour throughout the Midwest.
Gina Venier & the Gentlemen rocked the Riverfront Stage
during Dixon's
annual Petunia Festival on July 5. With a crowd of 3,000 people, Gina showed
her hometown crowd what she has been up to while playing gigs throughout the
Chicagoland area.
Nate Gordon will open the festival with his acoustic
blues/rock sound. Gordon has been playing locally at Rosbrook Studio, Books on
First, and Musical Fridays. He has also been touring throughout Illinois and Iowa
this summer.

band that recently released a new album," Albrecht said.
