If you have never attended the annual August Jamboree, it is well worth your time. The festival has been a grassroots, community-minded effort since the minute Robert Sarazin Blake founded the festival 15 Stringbands ago. Back then, it was the musicians booked to play who also built the stage, took tickets, did trash duty and undertook all other tasks involved in making the festival come to life, up to and including running a shuttle bus to the parking lot of Stringband’s first locale. Once that inaugural pickin’ party proved to be an idea with legs, Blake began to assemble his own army of volunteers, many of which have remained with Stringband year after year, their duties growing as the event has grown.
