Mulberry Mountain near Ozark, Arkansas Oct 16-18, 2015

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELED!

 

Phases of the Moon Music + Art Festival Announces
Lunar Landing Conspiracy & Artist in Residence

Phases of the Moon Music + Art Festival is thrilled to announce that the Everyone Orchestra will be the curator for the Lunar Landing Conspiracy for the 2015 festival. The second annual three-day festival will take place on the picturesque Mulberry Mountain near Ozark, Arkansas Oct 16-18, 2015. Phases of the Moon Music + Art Festival is a multi-day camping event that will feature four distinct components: feel good music, performance art, visual art and the Sanctuary; plus an eclectic variety of activities and attractions.

Lunar Landing Conspiracy is a highly anticipated annual headlining experience and Phases of the Moon's signature event presented by a newly featured "Curator" each year. The curator's challenge is to conceptualize and orchestrate a full concert set utilizing the talented cast of musicians, performers and artists present at Phases of the Moon Festival.

Everyone Orchestra's conductor, Matt Butler has been leading a rotating cast of accredited musicians through shows that are entirely improvised. In 2012, Butler gathered well-known musicians from Phish and moe. to record Everyone Orchestra's first studio album, Brooklyn Sessions, which was largely improvised. "The experience of playing with different musicians, improvising every night, and getting the crowd involved in ways that they can't be at a regular show has provided an unparalleled live music experience," said Butler. The list of Everyone Orchestra participants is an increasingly wide and intercontinental group including members of The Grateful Dead, Phish, Furthur, Ratdog, Trey Anastasio Band, Gov't Mule, String Cheese Incident, moe. and the Allman Brothers Band.

In addition to the Lunar Landing Conspiracy announcement, Phases of the Moon Music + Art Festival is also excited to welcome the 2015 Artist in Residence, Larry Keel. Larry Keel is described by reviewers and fans as the most powerful, innovative and all-out exhilarating acoustic flat picking guitarist performing today. Masterful song-writing, fierce playing, gritty good-time charm and a deep earthy voice all create the signature style that has earned Keel the highest respect and billing among the top acoustic and jam rock artists today. Larry will also be performing his Larry Does Jerry All Star Jam & the Larry Keel Experience over the weekend.

The Phases of the Moon Artist in Residence is designed to showcase an artist over the course of the weekend. The concept is flexible and free flowing allowing the artist full creative expression including but not limited to multiple artist "sit-in/collaboration" (both musical & visual) of their choosing throughout the entire event as well as solo impromptu shows, meet & greets and more.

Phase Three Passes, as well as Camping, RV Unreserved, VIP Passes and Weekend Passes are on sale now. For more information on Phases of the Moon Music + Art Festival please visit: http://potm.us.

Photos & Review: The Aquarium Rescue Unit in Raleigh NC 8.12.15

Photos & Review Col. Bruce Hampton & the Aquarium Rescue Unit at the Ritz in Raleigh NC
Original ARU does a rare tour to celebrate their 26th Anniversary!

The original lineup of Aquarium Rescue Unit will always have a special place in my heart. They were one of the main bands (along with Phish & Widespread Panic) that forced me to become a lifelong diehard fan of "jambands". In 1992 I was a DJ at a big rock station. On Sundays I had a two hour show called "The Sunday Night Alternative" that allowed me a bit of free reign as far as what could be played (vary rare on commercial radio).

Culturefest celebrates its 12th year!

Col. Bruce Hampton and Groove Fetish performed in Raleigh, NC on 6/11/15

The night was sure to be a fine one as several of us had been looking forward to this show for quite some time.  As a few of us met up at Natty Greene's for some sustenance & spirits, I could only be just a tad impatient waiting for the show.  One of our newest HGMN Bands, Groove Fetish out of Wilmington NC, were about to open up for the legendary Col. Bruce Hampton.

Mountain Music Festival June 5 & 6, 2015

Posted by: mamasherry | July 6th, 2015

The West Virginia state motto is a fitting description for Mountain Music Festival WV- wild, wonderful. Held at Ace Adventure Resort in Minden, WV. on 1,500 acres.

     The drive to and from was glorious, and upon arriving at the Welcome Center, you are already excited and enticed. It sits next to their lake, where summer is obviously family fun time! With slides, a zip-line, all sorts of inflatable equipment to enjoy, and a beach for sunning and swimming. 2015 was their 2nd annual Mountain Music Festival, and around 1,500 people were in attendance. We camped in the last lone RV spot- behind the welcome center, and there was a shuttle bus stop just across the parking lot at the lake.

Doby - Doby CD

In offering charismatic vocals, funky overtures and soulful flourishes, the ten tracks of Doby’s self-titled album offer up a savory menu, joyful in its delivery.
