Yazgar’s Farm:
Kirk Richards of local band, Yazgar’s Farm, is very active in planning and overseeing this event, as well as representing some of the best local talent on the event stage. This is the 10th year Yazgar’s has played this annual Abate event.
Yazar’s Farm is more than a ‘tribute’ to Max Yasgur, who allowed his dairy farm to host Woodstock, as this band has played every Woodstock reunion since 1989; they mix original music with the songs from the original Woodstock era on up through the 90’s and beyond. A dash of theatrical flair mixed with some Black Sabbath and Jimi Hendrix like you will never hear unless you see this band again…and you pack a great show with something for everyone.
This band has shared the stage with such greats as: Alan Jackson, Arlo Guthrie, Molly Hatchet, Reba McIntyre and many more over the years this music fan has taken in their shows. They pack an experienced, seasoned and solid rock frame to things that works.
Kirk Richards is the founder of this fine line up and their show is about evoking memories within their audience and having seen this band progress over the years while maintaining their Woodstock flair and holding to their original goal, to deliver good gigs for the people.
Come on out for couple days of great folks, food fun and some fabulous live music! Contact Kirk Richards with any questions at: 239-495-3317 or kirkexp@aol.com.
