Rebecca Folsom
Rebecca Folsom’s music is about liberation. Her songs crack open hearts, inspire hope, and leave listeners with a deeper perspective. Rebecca’s world-class voice traverses a near-four-octave range. KUNC radio describes it as “knock-you-to-your-knees.” The Daily Camera describes her music as “shining…with lush harmonies,” and Westword Magazine says, “Her songs hit like little earthquakes!” While her range is impressive, it’s the expression in her voice that rivets your attention and stays with you long after the show ends. Rebecca’s voice pours forth from lilting tenderness to fully liberated, unbridled release. She brings both a pure vocal quality reminiscent of old Appalachia and a blues prowess. This year, with the release of two new CDs, Rebecca is in full stride, more masterful than ever and more personal too. Her newest CDs, Extraordinary Days and Little Medicines, born out of writing 52 new songs in a year, are a delightfully positive ensemble of songs. Mixed to listening perfection, the delicious blend of front porch instrumentals, intimate vocals, and soaring harmonies reveal tales of human heartbreak, redemption, and liberation. As Rebecca’s songwriting paints a picture of shadow and light, she digs down to gather life’s stories, alchemizes them, and offers a transcending, toe-tapping vision of hope. These songs are little medicines for the soul.

Grand Valley Beard Rally
Grand Valley Beard Rally
Happy Septembeard! It has been many years since the Fruita Fall Festival featured a beard growing contest, so Aaron Siebert, a guitarist and vocalist with the local indie band Jack + Jill, decided it was time to correct that oversight. Siebert, the organizer of this year’s event hopes this will become an annual event that “will be a fun thing to look forward to every year!”
There will be four main categories: Mustache (styled, and un-styled variations), Full Beard (styled, and un-styled), Partial Beard (Styled and un-styled/many different cuts) and a Fantasy Fuzz Category (women, children, fake facial hair). There will be prizes in each category.
The contest will take place on Saturday, September 23rd and will start at 5:15 pm on the Civic Center Stage. Entry fee is just $5 and will go to benefit FMHS Scholarships. Contestants must register in advance. Guidelines and registration information can be found at fruitafallfestival.com.
