Arcadia Bluegrass Festival

Next up on Saturday, September 20th… Red Camel Collective !

Red Camel Collective is a bluegrass band comprised of multi-talented instrumentalists and singers, Heather Berry Mabe, Tony Mabe, Curt Love, and Johnathan Dillon. You may recognize those names, as these pickers have been members of the Junior Sisk Band for several years. John, Curt, Heather, and Tony felt the time was right to try their hand at a venture of their own, while still proudly playing with the Junior Sisk Band as well. They chose the name "Red Camel Collective," to pay homage to Junior Sisk and one of his hit songs called "The Man In Red Camels," a song about a man reminiscing of bygone days and fondly remembering an old man plowing his field while wearing a pair of Red Camel brand overalls.

The band's style is quite eclectic, ranging from traditional bluegrass and classic country, to fresh modern sounds all their own.

Lead singer Heather Berry Mabe is the reigning International Bluegrass Music Association's Momentum Vocalist of the Year.

As of May 2025 the band has spent 2 months at #1 in the Bluegrass Unlimited Monthly Album Chart!

If you like pure, heartfelt, beautiful singing and smooth, rhythmic, top notch picking, then you are sure to love Red Camel Collective!
Showtime 1pm & 6pm
