The inaugural KEEP CALM Jamboree presented by Valley Strong Credit Union will be held at CALM on Earth Day, Friday, April 22. The event is a collaborative fundraiser for Kern County Superintendent of Schools' two outdoor education programs - Camp KEEP and CALM.

The Jamboree will feature food from local eateries, beer and wine, and live music from Yächtley Crëw, a Los Angeles-area band performing 70s and early 80s soft rock classics known as "Yacht Rock." Gates will open at 6 p.m. The concert will begin at 7:30 p.m.

"We are so excited about bringing Yächtley Crëw to Kern County. I have seen the band on several occasions and can honestly say they are one of my favorites," said Amanda Frank, co-chair of the event's organizing committee. "The goal of the event is simply to have a whole lot of fun while raising funds for two very worthy causes."

Tickets will go on sale on Tuesday, Feb. 15 at http://www.calmzoo.org.
