Last Saturday night, I was at the St. Helena Native Sons Hall for the June Bug Dance, a concert to benefit local farmworkers. Organized by Sean and Lindsay Garvey, the event built on last year’s success, and raised considerably more money than the 2009 concert. A portion of the proceeds went to the Work Connection in St. Helena, a non-profit that matches Napa Valley farmworkers with employers who pay fair-wages and provide safe work environments. By day, Sean is Flora Spring’s Communications and Production Director, but by night, he’s known in the Valley for his singing and songwriting. Sean opened the show with songs from his newest record, “California Parable.” Many people came specifically to see Sean play; his songs appeal to those who want to dance or just enjoy the music. If you missed the concert, you can check out some of his songs here. Chuck Prophet also played at the concert.
Sean’s wife Lindsay is a professional photographer, and luckily for me, she provided the above photo. You know there’s no way I took that great of a photo with my iPhone, much less in a dimly lit room…countdown to iPhone 4.
Were you at the June Bug Dance?
