Tickets may be purchased in Morgantown at The Blue Moose, The Bookshelf , The Mountain Peoples Co-Op and both Slight Indulgence locations; in Westover at G's Fitness (across from The Aquarium Restaurant); and in Fairmont at the Book N Bean.

The Mon-Earth Benefit Concert helps to raise funds and awareness for the 20 plus organizations who are working to improve our local environment.

This third annual concert will feature three unique musical performances:

1. Dulcie Taylor (and her band) from Washington, DC (via South Carolina). Dirty Linen magazine writes "Dulcie Taylor is a gifted writer...she also has a compelling voice she employs with nuance and emotion." Her performances are powerfully direct and down-to-earth. She has won two Washington Area Music Awards and her music has received substantial airplay nationwide.

2. Buddy Mondlock from Nashville, TN Buddy is a very successful songwriter whose songs have been covered by numerous performers including Guy Clark, Janis Ian and Nanci Griffith. He recently toured extensively as part of a trio with Art Garfunkel and Maia Sharp, in support of a recording that the three wrote together. He sings with a gentle passion that draws the listener into the poetic stories that he creates.

3. Rachel Eddy & The Morgantown Rounders The Morgantown Rounders are an Old-Time string band of eclectic proportions. They are traditionalists pushing the envelope of tradition, infusing high-energy square dance exhilaration into a mix of vintage songs. For the first time, the Rounders will be performing in traditional old-time style around one microphone.

Local personality, Barbara Walker, will be the emcee.
