American honky-tonk style country music singer Danni Leigh was the featured star of this year’s Western Picnic in Sułomino on Wolin Island, announced Cultural Attaché James Wolfe.  Affiliated with several American and European labels, the singer was a 1999 nominee for the Rising Star Trophy (a British Country Music Award). She will perform at 20:00 on Saturday July 19 on the main stage. The “Western Piknik” is an event bringing together American folk music, blues, dance, rodeo, and many outdoor activities in the unique natural environment of Wolin Island in the village of Sułomino. This was the 11th edition of the best free country music festival in Poland, which annually attracts thousands of fans from both sides of the Polish-German border – and even farther away. It lasted from July 17-20. There was no charge for entrance and only a modest fee for parking. The Embassy was proud to support the festival again this year.
