Earth Day Activities


Earth Day
Tree-huggers, take note: Trees on Fire will be sharing headlining duties with Corey Harris and the Rasta Blues Experience for tonight’s Earth Day concert at the Jefferson Theater. It’ll start a busy weekend of Earth Day activities for all ages.
Harris will perform with the Rasta Blues Experience and also will join Trees on Fire for a song.
Harris will be sharing musical styles from his explorations of African, Caribbean and North American musical traditions.
Trees on Fire got its start several Earth Days ago in a picnic shelter in Meade Park. Tonight’s show will include some new songs the band hasn’t performed before.
Tickets are $17, $15 in advance.
The 10th annual Eco-Fair will take place from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday at the nTelos Wireless Pavilion.
Most of the performances will be acoustic this year. Listen for the Design, the Mud Farmers, the Jolly Llamas and Rannigan Hisey Music.
Visitors can learn about a wide variety of eco-friendly practices, products and services.
Foods will be available. A raffle will offer such prizes as drum lessons from Paul Rosner of Trees on Fire and comedy show tickets to see Sheng Wang on May 28.
