The Sourland Conservancy has announced that legendary rock band Canned Heat will headline the 12th annual Sourland Music Festival. The festival is set to begin at 3 p.m. on July 18 and will be held at the Hillsborough Country Club, 146 Wertsville Road, Hillsborough Township.
Now in its fifth decade, Canned Heat is regarded as one of the most iconic rock n’ blues bands of all time. The band has released 38 albums, selling millions of copies worldwide. Two of the band’s songs, “On the Road Again” and “Going Up The Country,” went on to become international hits. Canned Heat is best known for making history by playing at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967 and headlining at the original Woodstock Festival in 1969.
In addition to Canned Heat, the following artists will take the stage at the 2015 Sourland Music Festival: Jerry Fiess, Matt Romagna, Scoville Blues and Dugan Thomas.
All proceeds from the Sourland Music Festival will go towards the Sourland Conservancy, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the protection of the Sourland Mountain region.
