Grateful Guitars Foundation Partners with June Lake Jam Fest to Inspire Mono County Students Through Music Education
Grateful Guitars Foundation is proud to announce sponsorship of the June Lake Performing Arts Association educational outreach program this year in conjunction with the June Lake Jam Fest. Jam Fest artists visit our small rural schools for assemblies and classroom visits to inspire our students by sharing their personal stories and the importance of finding your passion.
This year Bella Rayne, the June Lake Artist at Large, who performed recently at the Grateful Guitars Foundation benefit event in San Francisco will be sharing their love of music with students at schools across Mono County. According to their site,
“JLLOOPPAA provides cultural enrichment by supporting the creative and performing arts in Mono County. We host, sponsor and fund a range of educational, exhibitive and performing arts opportunities and events; we support emerging local talent, enrich the creative economy and enliven the artistic values of the community.”
Their mission is 3-fold:
- To bring a rich cultural musical event to Mono County.
- To host a major JLLOOPPAA-sponsored event located outside of Mammoth and facilitate access for other Mono County Communities.
- To provide an event that raises funds for local cultural enrichment while providing a high quality musical experience for the community and visitors.
“ Since its debut in 2015, June Lake Jam Fest – located in the stunning and picturesque mountain town of June Lake, CA – has earned a stellar reputation among jam band music fans for one single word: “Quality”. Quality bands. Quality sound. Quality production. And an overall high quality experience that includes a lakeside stage, camping, boating, hiking, fishing, biking, dining and more. Past lineups have included such acts as Melvin Seals & JGB, Moonalice, Cubensis, GrooveSession, Mother Hips, Dead Winter Carpenters, and The Higgs among others.
Born as the brainchild of June Lake local Janet Hunt, the festival began with the desire to raise needed funds for the Mono Arts Council (MAC), which provides arts education and advocacy programs for local youth. Eight years later, Jam Fest continues to provide a rich musical event to Mono County for visitors and locals alike with a unique festival experience that is focused on the celebration of closeness and community.
Funds raised by Jam Fest now support the good work of June Lake Loop Performing Arts Association (JLLOOPPAA) and its mission to provide cultural enrichment and to support the creative arts in Mono County.”
