LUDLOW, Vt. – The band Big Head Todd and the Monsters has been added to the lineup and will be sharing a stage with Barenaked Ladies and Guster during the second annual FestEVOL music and mountain lifestyle event at Okemo Mountain Resort on March 24 and 25.

This two-day celebration of snowsports, mountain lifestyle, live music, innovative natural brands and a sustainability-focused eco-village, will feature concert performances by Barenaked Ladies and The Pete Kilpatrick Band on Saturday, March 24, and Big Head Todd and the Monsters and Guster on Sunday, March 25.

In addition to skiing and snowboarding at Okemo Mountain Resort, FestEVOL attendees can enjoy the Reverb Eco Village in the Jackson Gore courtyard. Reverb, founded in 2004 by Guster band member Adam Gardner and his wife, Lauren, is actively involved with FestEVOL in an effort to keep the event as green and sustainable as possible. The interactive village includes local, regional and national environmental non-profit groups alongside alternative-energy and transportation exhibits. The Eco Village also highlights all-natural and organic food sampling, and ski and snowboard equipment demos with Ramp, Nordica and Burton Snowboards. The Ice House at Jackson Gore, the FestEVOL outdoor concert venue, opens at 3 p.m. on Sat. and 2 p.m. on Sunday.

“It is our goal to give our FestEVOL attendees a weekend escape where they can enjoy great music, awesome snow and delicious food with their friends and families,” said Andrew Jaffe, EVOL Foods vice president of marketing. “In its second year, FestEVOL is going to be better and more exciting.”
