HERE COMES
22nd annual event features live music, workshops and programs for kids
Written by Sharon Sullivan
weekend of world-class live music performed outdoors is just one facet of the annual Moab Folk Festival, taking place the first weekend in November. The nonprofit Friends of the Moab Folk Festival puts on the Center Street Ballpark concerts, plus an array of other musical events, many of them free and open to the public.
“We have a board (of directors) that sees tremendous value in music, and we want to share that with people,” says board president Eric Jones. “That’s why we do outreach, music education and the folk camp – a week of folk music instruction leading up to the festival.” The organization additionally organizes the Moab Free Concert Series every summer at Swanny City Park.
This year’s music at the ballfield takes place Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 2 and 3, with gates opening at 10 a.m., and the music starting at 11 a.m. While festivalgoers begin lining up early, good views of the stage can be found wherever you end up placing your chair or blanket inside this smallish venue. And, of course, Moab’s red rock scenery provides a lovely backdrop.
WORKSHOP ‘JEWELS’
Prior to showtime on Saturday and Sunday, free workshops led by festival performers take place at the historic Star Hall – just across the street from the ballfield. “These workshops have been described as one of the jewels,” of the festival, said Cassie Paup, Director of Friends of the Moab Folk Festival.
The first workshop on Saturday is with country music artist Nick Shoulders, from 9-10 a.m., when Shoulders will demonstrate some of his whistling and yodeling vocalization techniques. Then, from 10-11 a.m., there will be an interview with master mandolinist (and Saturday’s headliner at the ballfield) Sam Bush. A third workshop will take place Sunday, from 9:30-10:30 a.m., with longtime Friends board member and musician Cosy Sheridan leading a “Songwriter-in-theRound” performance with solo artist Cara Luft, and the Humbird trio.
Meanwhile, in Sun Court outside Star Hall, Eric Jones – who is also the festival emcee and a musician – will be leading a bluegrass jam both mornings.
INDOOR EVENING SHOWS
Paup said she’s most excited about offering music education to young budding musicians. The evening fundraiser concerts at Star Hall help fund school-based programs. Events include assembly concerts; music lessons taught by festival musicians; and music instruction at the BEACON Afterschool Program’s strings camps.
This year’s summer string camp drew students from Blanding and Price, says Paup. “It’s turned into a regional event,” she says. “Our mission is to bring arts, education, and arts experiences to our community.”
This year there are two indoor evening shows, on Friday and Saturday, featuring Grammy-nominated John Fullbright, who was chosen “People’s Choice” winner on at least two occasions at past Moab Folk Festivals. “John has been here three times; he’s a hit every time,” Paup says. “He has a new album out. I’m really looking forward to hearing his new music.”

Fullbright’s lyrics have been described as “glowing with purity, wisdom, and poignant emotion.” His album Songs has been compared to the legendary folk singer Joni Mitchell’s Blue album, as well as Neil Young’s After the Gold Rush. Fullbright fans may want to attend both concerts – there will be a different opening act each evening. On Friday four female artists – Cosy Sheridan, Nina Gerber, Cara Luft, and Abbie Gardner – will open with a collaborative and song-sharing performance titled “The One Night Onlys.”
Gardner is a dobro player who performed for more than 15 years with the Americana trio Red Molly. Sheridan is a singer-songwriter and guitarist wellknown for her humor and storytelling.
Canadian singer-songwriter Luft co-founded the Wailin’ Jennys, and later performed as part of the duo The Small Glories. Gerber is a renowned guitarist who performed for many years with the late, great Kate Wolf.
Vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Anna Moss of the duo Handmade Moments will open for Fullbright on Saturday evening. She will also perform earlier that day at the ballfield with duo partner Joel Ludford.
MOAB FOLK CAMP
The Moab Folk Camp, which happens this year, from October 26-November 1, typically draws 70 “campers,” mostly from out-of-state, says Sheridan, cofounder of the camp. People from around the region come for a week of instruction in songwriting, guitar, mandolin, banjo, ukulele and outdoor art. People sign up for the week and attend any class they want. Most instruction takes place at the Moab Arts and Recreation Center (MARC), 111 E. 100 North.
All Folk Camp instructors will perform a free concert Monday evening at the MARC, where each teacher will perform two songs – a wonderful performance attended by lots of local residents, says Sheridan. A student concert happens on Thursday where each student plays a song of their choice.
THE OUTDOOR SHOWS
The Humbird trio kicks off the music Saturday morning at the ballfield, starting at 11 a.m. Lead singer and guitarist Siri Undlin describes their music as a “classic rock trio” rooted in folk music. Then, Handmade Moments will take the stage at 12:15 p.m. The New Orleans-based duo describes their music as a blend of folk, soul, indie, or “folk-hop” for its beat-driven sound.
Also performing Saturday afternoon is Nick Shoulders and his band the Okay Crawdad. The group performs old-time country and honky-tonk music that features whistling, yodels, the mouth trumpet and more. Closing out the day will be Sam Bush, aka the “King of Telluride” for his renowned performances at the venerable Telluride Bluegrass Festival.
Sunday’s music begins with singersongwriter Charly Lowry, who is a member of the Lumbee/Tuscarora tribes in North Carolina. Lowry says she considers herself an ambassador for her people, as well as for indigenous people nationwide, and has performed at the Kennedy Center on three occasions.
Award-winning interpreter of Black music Jake Blount (pronounced “blunt”) will follow Lowry’s performance. Blount blends centuries-old traditional songs with modern Black genres. He’s performed at Carnegie Hall, the Newport Folk Festival, for the Library of Congress, and National Public Radio’s Tiny Desk concerts. He’s won the Steve Martin Banjo Prize, and two International Folk Music Award nominations.
Also, performing Sunday afternoon is Pixie and the Partygrass Boys, a group voted “Best Local Band” for three consecutive years in Salt Lake City Weekly’s “Best of Utah” issue. This five-piece band performs elements of jazz, bluegrass, classical, country and Gospel – “We like to say our genre is ‘partygrass,’” says the band’s fiddler/singer-songwriter Amanda Grapes.
The Grammy-award-winning, bluegrass-inspired The Travelin’ McCourys, will close out the weekend starting at 3 p.m. on Sunday. The Travelin’ McCourys additionally perform with their dad,

Plenty of food and beverage options will be available at the ballpark. Food trucks will be offering fare, including Mexican food, vegan dishes, burgers and pizza. There will also be wine, as well as beer from Utah’s Bohemian Brewery. Additionally, 25 vendors selling various arts and crafts will have booths set up on the premises.
Discounted single-day tickets for Grand County School District students and staff who show identification are available for $10 at the gate. Children 14 and under must be accompanied by an adult. Other local residents can acquire discounted tickets by purchasing them in-person at Back of Beyond Books, 83 N. Main St., or Canyonlands Copy Center, 375 S. Main St.
This year, Jones says he’s particularly looking forward to Sam Bush’s performance – “he has an exciting enthusiastic stage presence,” Jones says. “I find myself doing a lot of smiling during his shows.” Actually, you can count on seeing lots of smiles all weekend long. n

Moab embraces new festival
“It’s
nice to spend your day empowering women”
In 1988, the Women’s Business Ownership Act established federal initiatives to help women succeed and also eliminated barriers women faced—for example, before that law passed, women couldn’t get a business loan without a male cosigner.
That fact shocked listeners at the first From a Woman: Moab Women’s Festival when organizer Teresa Herd referenced it in her welcome.
“Before that, you had to have a dude cosign your business!” she said from the stage. “That’s icky.”
Herd and her friend Toni Sicola came up with the idea for a women’s festival this past spring, and in a few short months, they brought it to life. The sold-out festival, called “From a Woman,” was held on September 14 and showcased music, art, food, as well as booths of businesses and nonprofits, all created, owned and run by local women. Women led activities from the stage, and a local woman was honored with an award for her contributions to the community. Herd and Sicola are proud and excited.
“I’m feeling really good, really accomplished,” Herd said in an interview after the festival.
“We’re already in the midst of, ‘what can we do next time?’” Sicola said.

The idea
Sicola and Herd’s first inspiration to organize a festival was the venue. Sicola fronts a band called Toni and the Enablers. They play a benefit concert twice a year on the outdoor stage behind the Aarchway Inn. At one of their shows this spring, Sicola mused that she’d like to see the stage get more use.
Herd’s wife also plays in a local band called The Butch Cassidies. Sicola and her husband own the Stargazer Social Club, an event service starring a vintage bus converted into a mobile bar and cocktail lounge. Two bands and a rolling bar were enough to fuel the idea of a festival. The fact that all are led or owned by women naturally suggested the concept of a women’s festival. It snowballed from there.
The two got in touch with veteran event organizers.
Theresa King has run the Moab Arts Festival for decades. She consulted with Sicola and Herd, helping them brainstorm and also giving them “real talk” on the challenges they would face.
“Theresa King scared us a little, but not too much,” Herd joked when thanking King from the festival stage.
They also talked with Cassie Paup, director of the Moab Folk Festival. She gave them advice and contacts, and shared Folk Festival items like shade tents.
Sicola has been in Moab for about five years, and Herd for about three. They were grateful for guidance from people who were not only experienced in event organizing, but had the local insight and networks to get all the pieces in place.
“It was incredibly generous,” Sicola says. “They could have been gatekeeping, and they weren’t at all.”
They continued to meet more and more people who wanted to help. Mary McGann, a current county commissioner, longtime educator and local community leader, gave them encouragement and helped to organize fundraising parties. Herd agreed to host a cocktail party at her house, and was surprised when people she didn’t know started showing up.
“‘Mary McGann told us to come,’” they told her. Attendees signed up to sponsor the festival or gave cash donations.
“Women were super-engaged, supergenerous, and really wanted to see us succeed,” Herd says. It seemed to her that longtime leaders were relieved to see “a new generation engaged” in supporting women and the community.
Activities, music and vendors
Festival day was hot and sunny. Vendors set up shade tents on the edges of a bright green lawn behind the Aarchway Inn, which donated the space, as well as tables and chairs, a sound technician, and other support.
After Herd’s introduction, Letia Perry took the stage to lead a breath workshop. Perry’s bio on the festival website described her as “a Navajo medicine woman, breathcoach, birthworker, and foundation training instructor.” She began by honoring the prayers that have been “embedded into this land” by Indigenous peoples. Then she asked participants to set intentions for themselves, and guided them through breathing and movement exercises.
Herd remembers feeling gratified as she watched the crowd.
“I looked out and everyone was doing it!” she says. “I was so happy to have her start the festival.”
As they were developing the event, Herd and Sicola wanted to be sure to distinguish it from other local festivals by including more than just music performances. Later in the day, local fitness studio owner Natali Zollinger led a movement workshop.
“No one’s looking at you,” Zollinger assured the crowd as she led them in a hip-mobility motion. “No one look at each other!”
The stage schedule alternated between music acts and activities. The Butch Cassidies played their blend of folk rock; Sicola delivered her signature powerful vocals with Toni and the Enablers.

two trees and invited festival-goers to give it a try. She also talked on the stage about our relationships to fear—a subject she has explored deeply in her career as a world-renowned highliner.
“Fear can absolutely hold us back, but fear can actually be an incredible learning opportunity,” she said. “It can be this power and energy that drives us.”
“Befriend your fear—it’s really there to teach you something,” Dickey concluded her talk.
A yoga activity led by local studio owner Courtney Reese got the crowd moving again.
In the afternoon, Salt Lake City-based musician Talia Keys performed solo, using a loop machine to layer drums, keyboard, guitar and vocals into funky, complex grooves. Headliners The Hattie Craven Band closed the festival with Americana spiced with soul, jazz and funk.
There was something to see onstage throughout the day; there were also about 30 vendors and organizations tabling.
Sarah Barstow represented the Women’s Business Center of Utah at the festival. Barstow moved to Moab in the 90s and later started her own business as a way to be able to stay in the community she had grown to love. During the pandemic she sold her business and pivoted to advising women business-owners. She loves the job.
“It’s nice to spend your days empowering women,” she says.
Festival proceeds will go toward a donation to Girls on the Run, a national nonprofit that supports girls in developing social, emotional, physical and behavior skills to navigate life. In Grand County, the program is administered by the BEACON Afterschool program. BEACON Activity Leader Katy Robertson and Site Coordinator Candice Gary staffed a table at the festival. Each of them helps local members of Girls on the Run to train for running races, while learning to set goals and build confidence. An agreement made by the girls in one of the clubs, written in colorful markers, was on display at the table. It outlined team expectations (“Stand tall!” “Never give up!”) and strengths (friendly, grit, creative, competitive).
Other booths offered an array of unique goods. Local jewelry-maker Emily Sukiennik displayed her earrings and necklaces, many made with natural materials like cholla cactus and wood. Painter Abbey McCasland offered prints and originals at her booth, and passed the time by working on a commissioned painting of a horse. Desert Sun

“Everyone who was involved is super-psyched to be involved again.”
Ceramics brought mugs, bowls, and other pottery from different artists. Main Street gift shop Desert Sol had a booth and let locals know about upcoming workshops like candle- and wreath-making.
Cocktails were available at the stylish Stargazer Social Club; there was also food from Moab businesses El Local, South Mountain Provisions, and Desserted Goods.
TrailblazHER award
Ahead of the festival, Sicola and Herd called for nominations for an award they called TrailblazHER. They wanted to recognize a woman who had made significant contributions to the community and who has served as a role model for, or empowered, women and girls.
“We had no idea who would respond,” Sicola says. They were delighted to get
27 nominations for 20 different women (some were nominated more than once).
Posters hanging prominently at the festival honored all the nominees. After the event, Herd delivered the posters to each person, some of whom didn’t know they had been nominated.
“People were blown away by it,” Herd says.
A panel made up of “people that have lived here way longer than us,” according to Sicola and Herd, used a set of criteria to select the recipient of the first TrailblazHER award. They selected Audrey Graham, who has been involved in community organizations and leadership since the 1980s. Graham has served as a county councilor, was involved in creating the Purple Bench ride-sharing project, helped to establish the Moab Area Community
Land Trust and the Arroyo Crossing affordable housing development, and helped to found Moab Community Childcare, to name but a few of her contributions.
Graham came onstage and embraced Sicola and Herd with a broad smile as she accepted a gift basket, and a clay sculpture “trophy” made by local artist Gee Wirt.
“None of what I’ve done would have been possible without a ton of other people,” she said as she accepted the award.
Next year
Sicola and Herd feel like they learned a lot from this first year, and have visions of potentially expanding the event in the future. They want to “grow purposefully,” possibly holding different kinds of activities in different locations over a longer period of time. It could eventually be a multi day festival, with hikes and workshops making space for locals with talent, knowledge and expertise to share their gifts.
They are confident they can count on the support of the community, Herd says.
“Everyone who was involved in it is super-psyched to be involved again.” n
