NAPA, Calif., Aug. 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- On Thursday, September 12th, country and folk duo Court Yard Hounds will perform at the VH1 Save The Music Foundation's Noteworthy concert in Napa, California. Presented by William Hill Estate Wines, Ashford University and RAYMOND WEIL, the evening will feature an intimate performance to raise awareness about the importance of music education.
"Music education is a very important part of a child's development.

William Hill Estate Winery is a proud supporter of the VH1 Save The Music Foundation and has been supporting music education in America since 2011.
Guests at the affair will enjoy a one-of-a-kind performance as well as dinner, William Hill Estate Wines, AriZona Beverages' cocktails featuring New Amsterdam liquors and Shellback Rum, Samuel Adams beer, a luxury watch display lounge from RAYMOND WEIL where they can enter to win one of the watches on display and cell phone charging stations powered by Ashford University. Attendees will also have an opportunity to bid on specially designed Taylor Guitars. Exclusive gift bags from Copper River Bags will be provided to guests attending a special meet & greet with the Court Yard Hounds.
"We are thrilled to have Court Yard Hounds perform at the Noteworthy Napa event," said Paul Cothran, Vice President and Executive Director of the VH1 Save The Music Foundation. "They are incredibly talented artists with a great history in the music industry so for them to lend their support to the Foundation's mission is a great moment for us. I look forward to enjoying the performance and taking in the breathtaking views at William Hill Estate Winery."
Following the success of their self-titled 2010 debut, during a break from the Dixie Chicks following a five-Grammy triumph in 2007, sisters Emily Robison and Martie Maguire recently released their acclaimed follow up Amelita on July 16th. Now touring in support of the album, the incredibly talented and successful artists will perform an intimate set in support of the VH1 Save The Music Foundation, continuing their generous support of the arts.
