2025 Entertainment Schedule
9:45 – 10:45am
Mike Bills
Mike is one of the most creative and capable performers you’ll find, a virtual one-man band. He has graced the Chelan Earth Day Fair stage many times and we’re excited to have him back. Originally known for his guitar playing with bands like The Fuel Rods, The Skiffs, and The Bada Bings, he is also a talented, entertaining and amazingly resourceful solo artist. Swing by the stage and give a listen, and you’ll leave with a smile.
11:00 – 12:00am
Brittany Jean
Singer/songwriter Brittany Jean is based in the Pacific Northwest, currently living in a neighboring apple town on the Columbia River. Her music has taken her across the country many times—opening for Three Dog Night’s sold out show in New York City, playing the legendary Bluebird Cafe in Nashville, the Kerrville Folk Festival in Texas, the Ol’ Front Porch Music Festival in North Carolina, The Pearl Theater in Idaho and the Fishstock Series in Wisconsin…to name a few adventures! Brittany has released six studio albums and one EP—all recorded in Nashville, and the next album is underway, set to release later this year! Thankful for where music has taken her thus far, Brittany Jean is looking forward to where the road will take her next, new songs yet to be written, fellow wanderers and storytellers to meet, and the adventures to be had along the way…
12:30 – 2:00pm
Kevin Jones Band
An Earth Day fair tradition, the Kevin Jones Band returns with Kevin on electric and acoustic guitars and vocals, Doyle Wood on electric and acoustic mandolins, Mike Gamble on bass and vocals, and Doug Williams on drums. Kevin’s vocals and creative virtuosity on guitar sets the stage, add Doyle’s smooth and inspired mandolin work, Mike’s laying it down on bass and Doug’s intuitive rhythms on drums, and you have a full landscape of both fresh original songs and familiar tunes with some rather unique twists.
2:00pm
Feat of Freedom Dance
This dance troupe has a long-standing reputation of being one of the most fun parts of the day with their smiling faces and creative routines. Feat of Freedom provides a healthy and joyful outlet to encourage youth to express themselves via the art of dance. Guaranteed to put a smile on your face, and you’ll be impressed with the talent of the young dancers.
2:30 – 4:00pm
The Saddle Rockers
One of our favorite bands…a fun and talented group you can sing along with, and have been known to get people’s feet moving. Bruce McWhirter is on guitar and harmonica, Dave Notter adds the violin, Chris Rader plays percussion, Curt Soper is on guitar and mandolin, Megan Cleary provides the bass line, and everybody chimes in for some great vocals. You can’t help but have a good time when the Saddle Rockers are on stage!
