Sarasota Trio Festival To Debut At Fogartyville in Sarasota On February 20, 2022

| Suncoast Post Staff |

WSLR+Fogartyville, Sarasota’s local community radio and media and arts center, is pleased to announce the Sarasota Trio Festival. Celebrating the musical power of the three-piece band, this unique event features some of Sarasota’s best performers. The festival is the brainchild of John Barron (Mandolin, Clover’s Revenge) and Dave Beaton (Manager, Fogartyville). “I know the local area has both great musicians and people who love hearing a wide variety of genres,” says Barron. “Fogartyville is a natural location for the festival. Everyone there seems to love eclectic music and local artists.”  Excited for the upcoming event, Beaton says, “Fogartyville welcomes the opportunity to partner with local bands to highlight the talent that exists in the Sarasota music community.”
