For over 30 years, the Bernard family has been providing a space for creativity, community building, social justice and environmental awareness to take root while working hard year round to pay the bills at their home in Missaukee County, Michigan. Earthwork Farm has long been a center for grassroots, community-based initiatives and has hosted thousands of public school kids over the years, offering hands-on education in traditional farming practices. Earthwork Farm is host to the Earthwork Harvest Gathering, an annual celebration of local foods and independent music in Michigan, as well as Earthwork Family Weekend, an annual arts and ecology camp for families. Bob Bernard, owner of Earthwork Farm, is a wildlife biologist, sawmill operator, beekeeper, grass-fed herdsman, Maple Syrup purveyor, agriculturalist, poet and waltz fiddler, and his first album of classic waltzes will be released in the summer of 2012. All proceeds from this benefit will go toward Earthwork Farm, and it’s efforts to encourage social-environamental awareness and creative empowerment in Michigan.

A legendary band tribute concert series brought to you by The Holland Park Theatre.

Jack Leaver will be fronting the band American Heartbreakers. They are a group of West Michigan’s finest musicians paying homage to the songs and music of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.

Leaver is a veteran performer; the West Michigan native has played and fronted several area bands as well as providing his talents as a sideman, contributing his guitar and pedal steel guitar both live and on record with such notable singer/songwriters as Drew Nelson and Ralston Bowles. Jack co-founded and fronted original music bands such as Mosey, the Dushanes and the Skyscrapers. Mosey released one album “Flatlands” with songs – along with other popular West Michigan acts — appearing on several of Grand Rapids, Michigan’s alternative rock radio station WGRD-FM’s “Radioactive” CD compilations.
