We are now only 10 days out from the 16th edition of TDawg’s Back Porch Hootenanny, a tradition since 2006 y’all! I’ve been running the lineup through my mind frequently the last few days, and I have to say that there simply is no let up in the sequence. Strap yourself in for an incredibly fun musical journey and just about as relaxing an experience as you will have any time soon!

A special Saturday morning (April 5) get up and moving session will take place from 11am-12:30 on the Grateful Fred Stage for a short hoop workshop brought to you by Jessi “HoopJ” Harris. Even if you haven’t hula hooped in your life, Jessi can teach you a few beginner tricks. After a short beginner introductory lesson, experienced hoopers are welcome to learn advanced tricks with single, double and triple hoops! What a great way to get your day going! Trampoline not included.

One quality of the Hoots I appreciate so much as a producer and presenter is the fact that every set is a showcase set. With such a limited number of slots, it is so much fun to prepare a schedule with the anticipated artist interaction and cross-pollination of bands that creates an extra layer of musical ecstasy for the audience. The day turns into a dizzying display of musicianship topped off with great friends, family, and new friends!
I hope y’all can plan to join us in just two weekends. Please feel free help the cause and purchase your advance tickets NOW! Regardless, spread the good word, and start practicing your Hootenanny battle cry for the midnight hour on Saturday night 😉 Be sure to come out Friday night for a very special evening of jams by road warriors Big Daddy Love on the Shed Stage with a mighty fine collection of special guests to join the madness!
I couldn’t resist adding the below video captured last fall of David Via & Curtis Burch w/ special guests Larry & Jenny Keel performing Via’s classic “Corn Liquor” – enjoy!
HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTENANNY!!!
