6th Annual Tree Hugger’s Ball and Go Green Expo: new dateSaturday June 12, 2010

This year’s Tree Hugger's Ball, scheduled for Saturday, June 12th, in Blackstar Canyon (Silverado), CA, is a chance to experience the beautiful canyon areas we are striving to preserve while helping to educate the community about our vanishing wild spaces, and our vital part as stewards of the earth. Our Go Green in the OC!” event will feature exhibitors of eco-friendly products and transportation, well known environmental speakers, live Musicians and dancing. Guest speakers in the past have included Goldman Award winner Judy Bonds of the Coal River Mountain Watch who has successfully fought mountain top removal of coal; Flossie Horgan, of the Bolsa Chica Wetlands Project, Sierra Club activist Brittany McKee who played a key role in the “Save Trestles” project; sustainability expert Chris Prelitz, and Earth Resource Foundation’s “Zero Waste” advocate Stephanie Barger.



2010 Band Lineup

Lost Hills, is Archie Logsdon, a poet and songwriter from California's Kern River Valley. His songs of love, death and wandering in the wilderness are evocative of the Southern Sierra region where he grew up and now resides. Clean country guitar picking and plaintive harmonica provide the background for his poetic imagery and gritty stories of faith, longing and betrayal.

Blade of Grass, Psychedelic Reggae Jazz music from Costa Mesa in Orange County featuring Michael Hurst on guitar and vocals, PCB on bass and vocals, David Comfort on keys and vocals and Vance Miles on drums.

Sligo Rags
, Named among the top acoustic bands in LA (by Folkworks Magazine) and two-time winners of the Orange County Music Award for Best Folk Band, this dynamic ensemble presents Celtic Folk with a decidedly bluegrass attitude. Sligo Rags is taking the local and not-so-local Folk and Celtic music scenes by storm with a unique blend of eclectic musical influences.

Cubensis
, Say the words "Grateful Dead tribute band" and certain images immediately spring to mind: tie-dyed pants, graying ponytails, hippie sensibilities. While Cubensis boasts many of these obvious earmarks, the quintet also has the goods, not to mention a very serious passion for The Dead. Playing from every era of the Dead's catalog, Cubensis is renown for whipping its faithful crowd into a swirling, psychedelic mass for three hours straight. According to both band and fans, they never play the same show twice; not bad for a group that's logged over 2,000 appearances and averages 200 shows a year. Sure, it might sound a bit silly to rehash a band that was once the crown jewel of the hippie's headband. But if all those Elvis impersonators can get away with it, why can't Cubensis?

Guest Speakers

Judy Bonds, from the Appalachian Mountains of West Virginia, USA, is the director of "Coal River Mountain Watch". Judy is famous for her work against the use of mountaintop removal for coal mining in the Appalachian mountains.  She is currently the Director for the Coal River Mountain Watch and a recipient of The Goldman Environmental Prize, the world's largest prize honoring grassroots environmentalists. Judy has successfully implemented many changes, one of the biggest being the partnership she created with the United Mine Workers Union to force coal companies into complying with the coal truck weight limits.  Because of her work, Judy is considered one of the nation's leading community activists.

Martin Diedrich,
has been a keynote green vision speaker at various venues. At Vanguard University and most recently (January 2010) at the Environmental Sustainability Conference in Costa Mesa. His focus is on environmental sustainability with an emphasis on innovation and creativity. The Diedrich family has been in the coffee business for four generations and is second only to Starbucks in the specialty coffee business. Martin Diedrich has implemented his green vision into his “Kean Coffee” locations.
