You might think that being in a rural area would mean that it'd be
hard to see our favorite bands in concert. But with small touring
bands we can actually have the music come straight to us. We enjoy
having a special night where we can invite our friends from the local
community to kick back and watch someone else play the music. It's
really a great deal for both the band, who gets an attentive audience
of like minded folks, and the community, who gets a wonderful
performance right at home.
In the past we've been lucky to have performances by Rebecca Riots, Allette Brooks, Amy Martin and Deerhoof. All
these musicians had some previous connection to folks at Dancing
Rabbit, making it extra fun for us. We look forward to these artists
coming back and other performers coming through for a show. We hope
someday DR will be famous for its off-grid house concert series.
So if you are or know touring musicians that want to play a show for
an ecovillage, please contact Rachel. We can't offer much
money, but we'd be happy to provide housing, organic vegetarian
meals, and an enthusiastic crowd on any night of the week.
