People
are you ready to embrace the powers of live music in its finest form. The
Church of Universal Love and Music (CULM) is back, with a summer lineup
intended to reach the outermost realms of the music world. Located in the mountainous woods of Southwestern
Pennsylvania, this 200 acre natural amphitheater setting is a venue motivated
on creating an atmosphere where live music can be appreciated to its fullest
extent, by creating an environment that is stress free for those who come so
that the music is always the primary focus; and whatever energy that music is
able to create will be the fuel for the vibrations of everyone.
In order to accomplish this mission
we offer a slightly different setup as seen at most other festival
grounds. Specifically, we allow every
band performing to have enough time to allow their music to fully develop; each
band gets to perform for an entire 2-3 hrs, thus it is a complete performance
as if you saw them doing their own show on tour. So, once the band finds their groove they
will be able to take it to the limits. Also,
their is only one stage; this prevents overlapping artists, the stage is
permanent and positioned in a natural setting for music, there is a massive
white rainbow shaped dome that prevents weather from disrupting the music, as
well as protecting the sandy dance area in front of the 60 foot stage from the
elements.
Past performers have included: Bela
Fleck and the Flecktones, the Derek Trucks Band, the Wailers, Victor Wooten,
Sam Bush, Melvin Seals, Rob Wasserman, Vince Welnick, David Nelson, Donna the Buffalo, George Clinton,
DJ Logic, Lotus, Brothers Past, Tea Leaf Green,The Recipe and many many others.
CULM offers a $200 season pass that
includes attendance to the 21 days of music, as well as access to the
campgrounds throughout the summer. With
the season pass, music and camping is less than $10 per night, a great value
for the tough economic times. The venue
is located just 20 miles from the Youghiogheny
River and Ohio Pyle,
which offers white-water rafting and many other various outdoor
activities. The venue is located 10
miles from the PA turnpike, so it is also a great place to visit while
traveling by for other adventures.
The PA Potluck, May 15-17, will feature
local legends Rusted Root, Donna the Buffalo, Vince Herman of Leftover Salmon
featuring Papa Mali and others, Hypnotic Clambake, as well as our good friends
from Michigan - Rootstand, and many other great artists. Late-night bonfire stage with Vince Herman
and Rootstand! Tickets are $80 in advance and $100 ATD
