Hidden Lake Music Fest: About the Gig
Hidden Lake Music Fest
May 17th 2008
1481 Belltown Rd. / Tellico Plains TN 37385
Welcome,
My name is Mark Ewers of Alter Ego. I am opening Hidden Lake Campground & Resort in Tellico Plains Tennessee. I am planning to hold this Music Festival in May and October, every year. You are invited to be a part of the first, of many, Hidden Lake Music Festivals (HLMF). There will be food, beverage, product, etc.
A portion of the gate and a part of every sponsorship will go to help the “Joy of Music,” a community school in Knoxville where disadvantaged children can learn music.
This will be a well run event. Big Mamma’s Karaoke Café will be running the sound and Videoing the show. I have hired the Saints & Sinner’s comedy team to perform and to help MC the show. There will be two drum risers for faster change over. There will be a curtain to separate the backstage from the comics as they perform. This will keep the crowd focused on the show. We will mic your amps and drums. For any special needs contact Mark Ewers or Brad Hasting @ Big Mamma’s (865) 577-5597.
