Local Beat Video Exclusive: Shakori Hills



Shakori Hills 2010 with 88.1 WKNC from Wolf TV on Vimeo.

Last month, Shakori Hills GrassRoots Festival of Music and Dance was held on a 75 acre farmstead in Chatham County. Kate "Riff Raff" Rafferty, Tommy "Tommyboy" Anderson, and myself, Nicole "DJ Kligz" Kligerman, got the chance to drive to Shakori to see what it was all about. Well, to put it simply, we had the time of our lives. After setting up our official WKNC tent on Friday, Riff Raff, Tommyboy, and I ventured around the grounds to see what there was to do. Shakori supplied its guests with kid-friendly activities, workshops for musicians and dancers, arts and crafts, a healing arts area, several stages, a vast camping site, and a food area that included a delicious "Veggie Thing". While at the festival, Wolf TV videographer Jane Moon joined us to capture footage of the festival for the first ever Local Beat Video Exclusive, which includes interviews with Bowerbirds, Midtown Dickens, and festival-goers. This video has been posted on Wolf TV's site for quite a while and I thought it deserved a place here as well. Take a look!
