Robert Readmond on December 13th, 2008 6:00 pm

It’s been a while since our summer festivals, so it’s time to get back into it this winter with Rob Readmond on Saturday, December 13th. We are psyched to finally get Rob here; his songwriting style, guitar playing and voice are accessible and warm.

Robert is a local BV musician who hails from Los Angeles as well as Idaho. You may have caught Rob’s solo show at Bongo Billy’s in Salida , or heard him playing bass with the contradance band hired for the Central Colorado Foodshed Alliance’s fall event. Robert has been playing his own music since 18. This has taken many shapes and forms: solo, bands, side of the street, coffee shops, bars…. Since moving to the mountains he has not played as much but has continued to write. He picked up the upright bass on loan permanently from a friend and this has allowed him to play many local contradances. Robert is influenced by old type writers, the smell of wool, rain, old books, the sound of his children laughing, the sight of his daughter dancing…and his wife.

So come on over and hear some deep-organic, unfiltered music with us on Saturday, December 13th. Potluck at 6:00, music at 7:30 or so. As always, BYOB, and please RSVP if possible so we can get a head count. We’ll be asking $5 a person donation, all of which goes to Rob, but no one is ever turned away, except for executives from the big 3 (Kraft, General Mills, and Kellogg) who arrive on corporate jets.

Please RSVP for directions, weatherconcert(at)gardener.com and let your like-minded friends know about our little series. We are hoping to have someone good for January; still in the planning stages.
