The Storytellers at Calico Ghost Town's "California Days"

We return to Calico Ghost Town in Yermo, CA for their "California Days" celebration! This family-friendly event celebrates the early settlements of California, coinciding with National California Day that recognizes the Golden State every year on February 22.

There will be educational displays about California’s history, games and contests for the entire family, live entertainment, old-west gunfights and more. We will be performing two sets of California bluegrassy music each day on the Silver Bowl Stage.

Set Times:

Saturday: 11 AM and 3:30 PM
Sunday: 11 AM and 3:30 PM

Calico is an old West mining town in the Mojave Desert that has been around since 1881 and was abandoned in the mid-1890s after silver lost its value. The town that once gave miners a good living lost its hustle and became a “ghost town.”

Along with its history and attractions, Calico Ghost Town has shops, restaurants and offers camping, hiking and off-roading.

The Storytellers, a prominent progressive bluegrass band, has established itself as a creative force in the Southern California Roots Music scene. The band’s extensive repertoire draws from the rich canon of traditional bluegrass, country blues, old-time, and folk music as a basis for inspired improvisations and intrepid vocal harmonies.

The Storytellers’ strong musical chemistry allows them to bring soulful and joyful harmonies, delicate acoustic sensibilities, soaring grooves, tight rhythms, substantive storytelling, and their own hippie, bluegrassy vibe to every stage they stand on.

The band has performed at numerous bluegrass festivals including the Huck Finn Jubilee, the Calico Bluegrass Festival, the Good Old Fashioned Bluegrass Festival, and the Desert Bluegrass Festival. In 2024 the band headlined the prestigious Prescott Bluegrass Festival and performed with bluegrass legend Peter Rowan at the Brookdale Bluegrass Festival. The band has regularly appeared at June Lake Jam Fest, and has performed at the Orange County Fair, the Ventura County Fair, and the Antelope Valley Fair, as well as at numerous other regional fairs and festivals.

The band performed a year-long residency at Treasure Island Casino and Resort in Las Vegas in 2022 and has earned residencies at several other distinguished venues. In 2023, The Storytellers became the first bluegrass-style band to perform on one of NAMM’s premier stages.
