4 Apr

(Grammy Winner Jim Lauderdale pictured w/ Rev. Jeff Mosier last weekend at Suwannee Springfest, no doubt discussing their set on SAT APR 6, 7pm!)

Advance ticket sales will be pulled from online at 11:30pm TONIGHT!  So, this is your last chance to get yours early and each advance purchase receives a free compilation CD from either HARVESTFEST 2000 or KEEL FAMILY FUNCTION 2010.  Trust me when I tell you that you’ll be hooked to either one of these recordings!

We’re excited as all get out about this upcoming weekend!  The weather clears tomorrow morning for a beautiful FRI-SAT combo of days, so come on out tomorrow evening and get your camp set up!  Gate opens around 3pm on FRI and 8am SAT.  We have a couple of bands tomorrow night – Chattanooga’s own Nothing & The Nobodies opens at 9pm followed by the Red Clay Revival!  Not to mention some jams under the stars to take you into the late night hours if you desire!  As usual, we will have superior sound provided by Tree Sound Studios and Tree Leaf Music that is also wind & solar-powered.

Long-time Hootenanny attendee (aka Hooteneers) Stephen Harris summed it up nicely – and is spot on – in a post on the TDawg’s Back Porch Hootenanny event page on Facebook this morning, stating the following:

“Hi People. I live up in NW Georgia and while it is raining now it will be sunny tomorrow. I know some of you may be worried about mud and such but one thing about this area is that the soil drains really well. With a bit of sun and wind in the morning the ground will dry out for good foot stomping dancing and good camping. Look forward to seeing a ton of you hooteneers this weekend.

*disclaimer: I love hootenannies and I have not been paid or contacted by T-Dawg about endorsing this event. I want similar people to have fun with us in a truly magical part of North West Georgia! See you there!

Next Weekend, April 5-6, is TDawg’s Back Porch Hootenanny!

28 Mar

HOOOOOOOTENANNY!!!

TDawg Presents has built the bi-annual TDawg Back Porch Hootenanny on quality, not quantity.  You come to a Hoot, you KNOW the music will be stellar – all the artists bring their A-game.  The Hootenanny vibe is just right, family-friendly and as relaxing as any outdoor activity can be.  The artists are very much a part of the community – once they’re done, they’ll be out there rockin’ out with everyone else!

I just want to thank you personally for considering and hopefully coming out to the spring 2013 edition of TDawg’s Back Porch Hootenanny on April 5-6.  The forecast is showing sunny next weekend w/ ideal bonfire temperatures at night.  The music will be nothing short of outstanding – you WILL be able to leave on Sunday having heard something fresh that will keep you hooked.  Being in the great outdoors on such a pristine piece of property like Cherokee Farms for some killer music and great times with friends and family is what it’s all about.  Bring yer instruments, be ready to jam!

I realize that there are many options and/or obligations for next weekend including music both free and otherwise, 40th birthday bashes, kids’ soccer matches, the need to be at home for a weekend for once, and many more.  Thanks for coming to the Hoot!

SPREAD THE WORD, SPREAD THE LOVE, LIFE IS GOOD!

da boot

10 Days Out from TDawg’s Back Porch Hootenanny!

26 Mar

Hooooooooootenanny

Alrighty y’all ~ We’re getting quite close to a moment in time when our desire for the great outdoors joins forces with our constant drive for incredible live music in a serene spot know as Cherokee Farms!  A very relaxin’ spot to enjoy time with friends and family while catching some fresh music to your ears, you feel a certain release the second your drive onto the property.

I’ve always viewed Cherokee Farms as our own private state park that we are privileged to utilize for our enjoyment a few times per year, depending on how many other events you attend beside TDawg’s Back Porch Hootenanny twice a year (Sept 13-14 are the fall dates)

A big highlight of this spring’s edition of TDawg’s Back Porch Hootenanny is a special set that join forces of two incredible songwriters and musicians, Grammy winner Jim Lauderdale and the incomparable Rev. Jeff Mosier.  Expect the unexpected in this set, I have a feeling.  It’s a beautiful thing!  Click on the picture below for a complete schedule (thx to Kelly Gilbert for the snapshot!).
