JACKSONVILLE, OR — Britt Music & Arts Festival announces its first installment of concerts for the 2019 season this summer. The first of three season announcements presents an extensive assortment of musical artists, including the brassy melodies of Chicago, classical-pop antics of the Piano Guys, 90’s reggae-rock of Sublime With Rome, and returning for another performance, folksters Trampled By Turtles. Rounding out the list are Rain – a Tribute to the Beatles, the Mighty O.A.R. Summer Tour, and Iration – Live from Paradise, plus the previously announced “Best of Britt” fundraiser with country legend Kris Kristofferson & The Strangers.
