FINAL SUMMER CONCERT IS NEW ORLEANS SOUND
 
BERKELEY SPRINGS, WV --- The final concert of an impressive summer 
season brings the Junkyard Saints to Berkeley Springs State Park on 
Saturday, August 22 at 5:30pm. "MAC selected the Saints for our 23rd 
concert series because their New Orleans-style sound fits perfectly 
with our year of Roots music," says Mary Hott, executive director oft 
he producing Morgan Arts Council. The concert's rain location is the 
nearby Ice House.
 
Based in Baltimore, this seven-piece group blends a variety of New 
Orleans party music to make it their own. The tight, high energy 
sound and powerful groove includes funk, swing, Latin and R&B with a 
splash of zydeco. Their original songs have a special flair that 
earns them national radio time and repeated WAMMIE awards for best 
roots rock group. "This is happy music," says Hott. "The audience 
will be on their feet dancing and we hope everyone goes home from the 
final summer concert thinking they came from a summer Mardi Gras in 
Berkeley Springs."
 
The band as a full horn section of sax, trumpet and trombone as well 
as accordion and drums.
 
The MAC Summer Concerts in the Park are funded in part by the National 
Endowment for the Arts, West Virginia Commission on the Arts and local
