MONDAY, 27 JULY 2009


Guide by Cell, the nation’s leading mobile technology provider for nonprofit organizations, announces that its cell phone-based audio guide technology is helping show case two of the country’s finest summer festivals: the Aspen Music Festival and the Napa Valley Festival Del Sole.

For Aspen Music School and Festival visitors, Guide by Cell’s audio guide provides immediate access to historical facts pertaining to Aspen, Colorado; the evolution of the festival itself, and other useful information. The audio guide provides a fun and useful source of informative facts relative to Aspen’s most revered music event. To hear the Aspen Festival and School’s audio guide, dial (970) 295-4144, (press 1#-30#)

“The Aspen Music Festival and School audio guide is a wonderful way to provide a new information outlet to its devoted patrons, one that explains the city’s evolution from mining town to what it is today ― a city of rich cultural arts and renowned for skiing,” said Janice Szabo of the Aspen Music Festival and School. “Guide by Cell offers the best mobile technology for what we want to achieve, we’re very happy how the project has evolved.”

Visitors can access the audio guide while walking from the parking lot area to the Benedict Music Tent and Harris Concert Hall where banners depicting historical images about the festival and the city of Aspen are located. Each banner lists a number to dial to learn more about the images.

Each July in Napa, California the Napa Valley Festival Del Sole gets underway with much anticipation by the thousands of people who enjoy wine and music in one festival. For the first time, the 2009 festival schedule and venue directions are accessible through the Guide by Cell audio guide. Listen to the Napa Valley Festival Del Sole by dialing (707) 204-9625, (press 102#-103#).

“Napa Valley Festival del Sole is one of the country's leading summer music, food and wine festivals,” said Festival Director Richard Walker. “We continue to look for ways to heighten our guest's experiences. This year we adopted the Guide by Cell service, which allowed patrons to use their cell phones to access pre-recorded messages, artist interviews, driving directions to concert and dinner venues, and more. It has proved to be an excellent way to stay connected to the people who support and enjoy Festival del Sole."

“Both the Aspen and Napa festivals are two fine examples of summer festivals that are very well supported and anticipated by the public,” stated David Asheim, President and Founder of Guide by Cell Inc. “We are very proud to provide mobile technology for these exciting festivals and to help attendees of both venues experience the very best in summer music performances.”
