Achieve Tahoe (formerly Disabled Sports USA Far West) (www.AchieveTahoe.org) today announces its 29th Foam Fest fundraising event, on Saturday, September 1, 2018 from 2 to 6 pm in The Village at Squaw Valley. One of the most highly anticipated annual festivals in the Truckee and Lake Tahoe area, Foam Fest brings people together for a great afternoon of beer tasting and world-class live music, this year featuring the dynamic and lively band; The California Honeydrops, with an opening set by Mojo Green. Proceeds from the event support Achieve Tahoe’s year-long one-to-one adaptive sports program serving individuals with disabilities (physical, sensory, intellectual) of all ages, including the honor of serving disabled veterans.
THE CALIFORNIA HONEYDROPS. The California Honeydrops spring into 2018 with the Call It Home Tour to promote the release of a new double album, Call It Home: Vol. 1 & 2. The California Honeydrops have a reputation as being among the most exciting and dynamic live bands on the planet. With unrelenting energy and a near-encyclopedic knowledge of musical styles, genres and idioms, the Honeydrops have spent a decade playing everywhere from subway stations in their native Oakland, California to sold-out shows in theatres and at festivals all across the globe. In addition to their own non-stop touring, 2016 and 2017 saw them honored to support Bonnie Raitt on her extensive North American tour, following past support slots with such icons as B.B. King, Allen Toussaint, Buddy Guy and Dr. John. Whether in those high-profile performances or in more intimate venues where the band itself can leave the stage and get down on the dance floor, the California Honeydrops’ shared vision and purpose remain: to make the audience dance and sing.
Other event highlights include many amazing breweries serving samples of their craft beers and raffle prizes including a California Gold Pass. There is a $10 entry donation. All inclusive beer tasting tickets are $35 in advance and $40 at the door and include the $10 entry donation. Tickets are available at Achieve Tahoe’s website: www.AchieveTahoe.org.
