Organizers of the Eighth Annual Elkhenge Music Festival are pleased to announce a new location for this year’s benefit concert. The Saturday, September 20 show will be held at the Rich Mountain Battlefield campground. The good folks at RMBF have offered their campground, and the site seems ideal. All proceeds from Elkhenge will be shared between the Rich Mt Battlefield Association to preserve the Civil War site and the Highlands Trial Foundation, a group dedicated to the development of recreational rail trails in the area. Food will once again be provided by Smokin Joe and overnight camping is encouraged. There will be entertainment for children as well. Over the years, Elkhenge has raised over $10,000 for area non profits.
		Headlining Elkhenge 8 will be New Jersey based jam-band, Juggling Suns. Their psychedelic dance groove evoke memories of the Grateful Dead. Also taking the stage will be Hillbilly Gypsies. This young group from Morgantown plays a rollicking style of bluegrass, and their previous Elkhenge appearance had the entire crowd up and dancing. Junk Drums, a “Blue Man Group” style drum show founded by Elkins High graduates Evan Devine, Chris Newsome, and Matt Kelly.
