Jackson Browne, Anderson East At VSF
With the first JBE Triple A SummitFest in Boulder, CO, scheduled for August 4-7, 2020, postponed until August 3-6, 2021, Triple A will gather at the Virtual SummitFest 2020 (VSF) on the Jack Barton Entertainment Facebook page on the evenings of August 5-6, 2020, with All Access on board as Official Media Sponsor for both 2021 and VSF. This week brings the news that singer/songwriter Jackson Browne, who had been scheduled to be The Keynote Interview, will keep that commitment virtually, in the form of a Q&A with Noteworthy’s Norm Winer, in a private Triple A Zoomcast prior to the start of music on Wednesday, August 5. It can also be revealed that Anderson East will join the performance lineup that already includes Phoebe Bridgers, Fruition, Nahko and Medicine For The People, Diana DeMuth, Hollis Brown, JD McPherson, Jensen McRae, Joe George and Will Hoge, with a few more artists still pending. In addition to the performances, there will be a virtual tip jar directly connected to the MusiCares COVID-19 Relief Fund, benefiting live music workers and musicians who can’t earn a living again until large gatherings are permitted (you can donate here). JBE is also creating a Triple A Watch Party in our Virtual Fox Balcony on Zoom, where the Triple A community can opt-in to hang out and watch the performances together. The annual Triple A Awards will be presented in a short presentation in the Virtual Fox Balcony prior to the performances on Thursday, August 6.
The JBE Triple A SummitFest 2021 will take place August 3-6, 2021 at the Fox Theatre and Embassy Suites in Boulder, CO, as had been planned for this year. Embassy Suites will automatically cancel all reservations for the 2020 event and JBE will announce when they are taking reservations for 2021.
