Year 14 is in the books! We promised ourselves that this year we wouldn’t stress so much about booking, just bring in bands we love and open our house and yard to the community and, well, it worked. Great shows, great musicians and great times.
We booked Joe, Ella and Jed without ever hearing them play a note together. Two John McCauley shows that sold out in minutes aided by Niall Connolly! THREE Sierra Hull shows that will definitely serve to burnish our reputation when trying to book other bands! a. Dean Johnson’s “Faraway Skies” was my most played song of the year and his show was the sweetest. MEJ opened for CPS in the night of initials and then came back to unexpectedly open for Nicole Atkins who went on to open for Stevie Nicks. Briscoe and Matthew Logan Vasquez came all the way from Texas, Jesper Lindell came all the way from Sweden! We hosted Carling Berkhout’s release show and our good friends Twisted Pine came back on their album release tour.
Our community put over $40,000 in the pockets of traveling musicians and we can’t thank you enough for that. On to 2025 and our 15th year of operation!
