Headlining the event are Seth Bernard and “Daisy” May Erlewine, two Michigan solo roots artists that have recently come together to create a sound with rich vocal and instrumental harmonies. The duo has played at festivals countrywide and been heard on Garrison Keillor’s “A Prairie Home Companion.”

Also performing is Earthwork Music duo Rachael Davis and Dominic Davis, and the Hawks and Owls string band.

“In the midst of ongoing, global environmental crisis, Earth Day 2011 is an opportunity for our community to come together, renew and inspire each other to keep making everyday Earth Day,” WMEAC Executive Director Rachel Hood said.

The 2011 Earth Day Celebration will begin at 6 p.m. with environmental exhibits, food vendors and a cash bar. Music starts at 7 p.m. Tickets are $15 ($10 for students and unemployed), and available at Schuler Book Stores and online at liveatthefountain.org. Admission is free for all Grand Rapids Community College students and staff.
