Since 2006, these Hootenannies have brought smiles to a large number of folks who appreciate the small, intimate events that produce music labeled commonly as AMAZING!  TDawg’s Back Porch Hootennany is an event that ALWAYS brings together just the right combination of artists in the roots music and Americana genres, showcasing some of the best in the Southeast and the country, for that matter.  I am blown away time and time again by the quality of the music and the chemistry that develops between not only the musicians themselves but also with the audience.  It’s been an amazing journey producing these Hootenannies – they are quite a switch from the large scale, multi-day festivals of my past yet have developed that identical sense of bonds, friendships, and family that HarvestFest did.

The upcoming HOOT is going to be off the charts AWESOME!  Anticipate some sit-ins all day on both stages and one helluva tribute to Bill Monroe on Friday, celebrating what would be his 92nd birthday.  I’m sure some JJ Cale will pop up throughout the weekend, paying homage to one of the finest songwriters of any generation.

Please help spread the word on this fine event, the best crowd comes to us via word of mouth.  Who wouldn’t want a weekend with friends, family, and possibly the first camping experience for your young-uns?  Bring a posse and set up your village.  We hope to see you there!!!
