The Santa Paula Theater Center Concert Series Presents “Turn Back the Pages” by the Restless Hillfillies Saturday, August 7. Door opens at 7:00PM Performance starts at 7:30PM, The Santa Paula Theater, 125 South 7th Street.
Take a step back in time... when Ventura County was indeed the Wild West! “Turn Back the Pages” is an historical project of story gathering throughout the County. Crusty characters, famous events and places have been etched into time through songs about your own backyard: St. Francis Dam Disaster, early oil exploration, the story of Ramona and more. Many musicians throughout Ventura County have been involved in the melodies of these songs. The end results of this project will be archived through the Museum of Ventura County. This project was a best bet in The Star with an art show where artists submitted their work to depict the songs. Some of these pieces will be on display at this show.
Americana musicians, The Restless Hillfillies, will perform many of these songs and tell a tale. Are you asking “What's a Hillfilly?” Mountain girls (Mary Z. Wilson, Karen Orser and Rosie Tower) who like old-time music, resist to assimilation into the dominant culture and like to horse around. They are moonlighters rather than moonshiners all working for educational organizations but keeping alive their passion for music. They all hail from Ojai Valley in California, the Valley of the Moon. They will be joined by instrumentalists Dan Wilson and Barney Tower.
Come join us, it will be a night to remember at the Santa Paula Theater, 125 South 7th Street and Main, Santa Paula. Sat. August 7, 7:00PM, Tickets $15.00. Seating is limited and advanced reservations are suggested at our website www.santapaulatheatercenter.org or call 805-525-4645
