The Summer Music Festival's origins came from a small group of talented musical, visual and theatrical artists who settled in McCall in the mid-1970's. Drawn to the area because of it's sheer natural beauty and, at that time, cheap rent. With the efforts of this unique blend of Raggle-Taggle-Hippies who loved music and family-type gatherings, the free-form nature of this event lent it a special charm that persists to this day. Calling themselves "The Music Circus". Original members flaunted colorful names such as "Mr. Crow", "Jazmo", "Pretty Peggy", "Beeboo", "TeePee Nancy", "Sweet Sue" and "Big Bear" to name a few. This unique congregation was the nucleus of a cultural movement at that time. A movement that was maybe in contrast to, but generally accepted by the numerous loggers and long time ranchers already established in Long Valley.
