Green Concert to Benefits Kids with Cancer June 21, 2008
Oak Glen, CA Colorado's O'Brien Family Band will
share the stage with Oak Glen's own Riley's Mountaineers
for a benefit performance on Saturday, June 21st at
historic Los Rios Rancho in the hills of Oak Glen above
Yucaipa.
The O'Briens have played venues throughout Colorado and
the West for several years, amassing an impressive
number of awards for songwriting and fiddling. In 2005
they were nominated for the Crescendo Award by The
Western Music Association. Their California appearances
have included shows at the Big Bear Cowboy Poetry
Gathering in 2004 and 2006.
Riley's Mountaineers, one of Southern California's most
popular traditional music groups, has been playing
old-timey, western, classic country and bluegrass music
for 20 years. They are regulars at the annual Huck Finn
Jubilee, and have played other Southland venues
including The Huntington Library, End of Trail, and
Rancho Los Alamitos.
At Bluegrass on the Green, these two premiere bands will
perform under the stars in a gorgeous mountain setting
framed by live oaks and apple trees. Concert tickets
include a pre-show dinner, plus raffles and silent
auctions. The concert starts at 5 p.m.; free pre-show
entertainment from 2 to 5 p.m. will feature music by the
Wimberley Bluegrass Band, Third Member, and others.
All proceeds benefit the Desi Geestman Foundation, which

their families at The City of Hope National Medical
Center.
This one night only engagement is limited to 350 seats.
