HOMESTEAD VALLEY MUSIC FESTIVAL
Marin Magazine selected Homestead Valley Music Festival as
One of the best music festivals in the county.
Our 2023 HV Music Festival was held on August 26th and featured an Americana-themed lineup. As always, the free event was held outdoors at the Homestead Valley Community Center.
Our community was treated to many wonderful musical performers while enjoying our usual assortment of local beer, wine, food and baked goods at reasonable prices along with sno-cones and fun activities for the kids. Much dancing was done on blankets in the meadow with family, friends, and neighbors. A lovely day was had by all!
We greatly appreciate all who donated at all levels! Thank you!

Dashawn and Wendy Hickman
Dashawn Hickman grew up with the pedal steel taking the lead in the House of God church that his family attended in Mt. Airy, North Carolina. His arrangements harken back to a time when trap drums were utilized in the ‘30s with just a bass drum, tambourine, washboard, and cowbell alongside the lap steel (and then later the pedal steel in the ‘70s) singing the melodies.
