The 2014 Jane Long Festiva...Let's update this! The 2014 Jane Long Festival is Saturday, Oct. 11, 2014. Y'ALL COME! Headlining the Oct. 11, 2014, 5th annual Jane Long Festival will be Texas's own iconic entertainer, Brian Burns, whose unique sound puts a musical slant on all things “Lone Star” with wit, warmth and style, as in his big hit, “I’ve Been Everywhere (In Texas)." His The Eagle & the Snake: Songs of the Texians album is considered a Texas classic. The Jane Long Festival at the historic Fort Travis (don't miss the guided tours) on Bolivar Peninsula (near the Bolivar Ferry Landing) celebrates Jane Long, the Mother of Texas, who was as significant a role model for Bolivar residents rebuilding after Hurricane Ike as she was in working with the heroes of the Republic of Texas. Texas Music Legend Brian Burns headlines a full day of stage entertainment that includes the delightfully updated "Pirates & Petticoats" play (Pirate Extraordinaire Jean Lafitte was another who came under Jane's spell). The many family-oriented booths include on honoring many authors of books on The Mother of Texas. All in the shadow of the historic Bolivar lighthouse one one side and Fort Travis bunkers and battery on the other. This site, which has to be the most beautiful in Texas for a festival, provides a Gulf of Mexico backdrop, replete with giant freighters, picturesque ferries, shrimpers, sailboats and myriads of shorebirds passing by. www.janelongfestival.org (713-208-6445)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
