IN MEMORY OF PETE SIEGFRIED

We would like to acknowledge the passing late last month of beloved musician, Pete Siegfried, who was a dear friend to many in the Grass Valley area. 

Pete graced the Strawberry stage as part of the acclaimed Americana duo, Barwick and Siegfried, at the Fall 2014, Spring 2017, and Spring 2018 Festivals as well as a founding member of the popular bluegrass band, Mountain Laurel, at the Spring 2008 Festival. Pete will be long remembered among our music community for his distinctive and expressive tenor vocals, adept instrumentation, and enchanting collaboration with bandmate, Kathy Barwick. 

The Strawberry community extends its collective heart and deepest condolences to Pete’s family and wide circle of friends.
