Hullabalou Festival Was a Big Money Loser

I think 2010 will go down in the books as the worst year for music festivals!  The latest money loser…. the three-day music festival last month at Churchill Downs called Hullabalou.

It featured Kenny Chesney, Dave Matthews, Dierks Bentley, Bon Jovi and dozens of other bands. But, the parent company of the race track says the Hullabalou Music Festival lost more than $5 million. That’s about twice as much as it expected to lose. The Courier-Journal newspaper says Churchill Downs blames hot weather and low sales for concerts all over. The music festival drew more than 78,000 fans from 47 states.  Even though the festival was a big loss Louisville track had said it was going to do it again next summer.

Music Saves Mountains

Musicians like Kathy Mattea, Emmylou Harris, Dave Matthews, Patty Loveless, Gloriana, Big Kenny and others are hoping their music can preserve the Appalachians. Tonight’s “Music Saves Mountains” concert is at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. It’s presented by the Natural Resources Defense Council. The concert is to raise awareness about coal mining that removes the tops of mountains. The council says this is devastating Appalachia.
