About

This is what we’re about, from Eliot Coleman of Four Season Farm in Maine (www.fourseasonfarm.com):

I often cite an experience of mine in an unrelated field —  music— in defense of the farmer’s instincts. Twice I have been fortunate to hear great artists perform in an intimate setting without the intermediary of a sound system. The first was a saxophonist, the second a soprano. The experience of hearing the clear, pure tones directly, not missing whatever subtleties a microphone and speakers are incapable of transmitting, was so different, and the direct ingestion of the sound  by my ears was so nourishing (that is the only word I can think of), that I remember the sensation to this day. The unfiltered music was like fresh food grown by a local, deep-organic grower. That same music, heard through a sound system is like industrial organic produce shipped from far away. Through a poor sound system, it is a lot like chemically grown produce.

Weathervane Farm House Concerts are about great live music in an intimate setting, where the main focus is on listening and sharing music together. We manage the shows through this blog, and through our email list, which you can get on by sending an email to weatherconcert(at)gardener.com. When you RSVP to this email for a show, and get a confirmation back, you are on the list. We also send directions at this time. Most shows start with a potluck at 6:00 and music at 7:30. If you RSVP and get a confirmation, we ask that you make every effort to come, because we need to limit the number of attendees (it is our home, after all!) and for more popular shows, we will turn people away when the list is full.
