KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – More than 15 local musicians will be performing and leading songs at the “Peace Meal & Hootenanny” on Saturday, Aug. 18, at Lakeside Park (also known as the County Park) off Soda Bay Road near Kelseyville.

This free event, part of the Lake County Summer of Peace, begins with a potluck picnic at 5 p.m., followed by a folk music sing-along that continues until about 9 p.m.

People are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or blankets to sit on.

Musicians participating in the hootenanny include Carl Stewart and other members of the Blue Collar band, Jim Williams, Don Coffin, Three Deep, Bill Barrows, Not Two, Dennis Purcell, Cactus & the Rose, Kathi Williamson and Michael Richeson, Carter Klippel, Emma Stewart, Raylana Aragon and Linda Guebert.

The hootenanny program features folk standards like “Where Have All the Flowers Gone?” “Blowin’ in the Wind,” and “This Land Is Your Land,” but also includes less well-known songs and original material.

“It’s really exciting to have so many talented people coming together in the cause of peace,” said Guebert, who is coordinating the event as well as performing. “I think it will be an uplifting experience for everyone who attends.”

The “Peace Meal & Hootenanny” is sponsored by the Unitarian Universalist Community of Lake County.
