High Sierra Music today announced the artist lineup for the 20th Annual High Sierra Music Festival running July 1 through July 4, 2010 at the Plumas-Sierra County Fairgrounds in Quincy, CA.  Celebrating the 20th Annual in 2010, the High Sierra Music Festival has built a very strong sense of community and created annual traditions among festival-goers and music lovers.  The picturesque location, the wide variety of artists, the unique musical settings and the affordable prices all combine to make High Sierra the ultimate, intimate festival experience and premiere four-day camping and music event in North America.   High Sierra Music produced a video to announce the lineup with co-founder Dave Margulies parodying the Steve Jobs Apple iPad presentation. Cultureofmac.com said of the video, “Margulies does a quite credible job of mimicking the classic Steve Jobs Keynote presentation method introducing the 2010 festival – he even incorporates images of the highly anticipated iPad to excellent effect and coins a new catch-phrase: there’s an act for that!“ The video can be viewed at www.highsierramusic.com.

Nestled in the quaint town of Quincy, CA (3,500 ft), the High Sierra Music Festival offers a variety of outdoor activities, personal wellness programs and arts and educational events. The scenic beauty of the majestic Sierra foothills is a great place to take in swimming, hiking and biking while also enjoying a full palette of music offered on multiple daytime stages and multiple nighttime venues. The Festival features intimate artist “playshops,” an interactive KidZone, daily parades with oversized puppets, fabulous food with no waiting lines, Yoga, Pilates and dance classes along with the opportunity to just relax and camp with good friends in gorgeous weather along with an adjacent Olympic-sized swimming pool.  All of this combines to make the High Sierra Music Festival an anticipated yearly event and an experience for people of all ages.

High Sierra organizer Rebecca Sparks says, “We are thrilled about our lineup this year.  There’s something for everyone.  What keeps people coming back to the festival over the years is that they know they will continue to have a great time in a great community that is High Sierra.  We look forward to introducing a few new twists that will enhance people’s experience of the event even more.”
