Homegrown Music Festival Posts

The PlayList features Tim Kaiser, Coyote and Homegrown!

Check it out Thursday at 9 on WDSE/WRPT, local PBS. Tim’s instruments are amazing! And, there’s theplaylistonline.org to watch the show at your convenience.

Roast of Rick Boo

Roasters include: Mark Lindquist, Carolyn Reisberg, Cory “Hot Rod” Ahlm, John Lee, Chad Lyons, Devin McKinnon, Blaise Taylor, plus special surprise guests.

Tickets are on sale at Pizza Lucé now. There is a limited number of tickets – once they’re gone, they’re gone, so get yours quick. To reiterate: the Roast costs $10 and requires attendees to have either a weeklong Homegrown wristband or a band pass. No weeklong wristband / band pass, no entry.

I’m locking this thread so none of you jackaninnies can use up your good material ahead of time.

The Automaton Records Media Conglomerate Presents the Twin Ports: A Compilation for Homegrown

Well, I know that pretty much everyone in the area already knows all about this project because I’m such a big deal around here and everyone talks about everything I do and whatnot, but the Automaton Records Media Conglomerate is proud to be offering up for this year’s Homegrowners a very special compilation.

It’s a limited edition and handmade production — 39 songs on two CDs, all generously donated by the artists for use with this generously special compilation. The cost is $6! It includes a 4-color hand screen printed 100% recycled cardboard double sleeve!  Holy cripes!  This is a limited edition of only 200 copies.

The profits from this compilation go to the festival.  So, you know, it’s good to support that too.

Happy Homegrown!

The Homegrown Field Guide is in town and will be distributed over the next few days to all of your favorite hotspots and local businesses. Cover art by the lovely Bridget Riversmith. They are currently in stock at the Fetus, Pizza Lucé, Teatro Zuccone and Carmody.

Homegrown Music Video Festival, round 2

Homegrown Music VIDEO festival is BACK and this year we are giving you TWO WEEKS to create your masterpiece.

Kick-off is 8pm (SHARP!) on April 15 at Hell Burgers. Show up on time to draw your song from a beautiful top hat. You’ll have two weeks to create a music video from the randomly assigned song. Filmmakers of all ages are welcome and all filmmakers who turn in a finished DVD will receive a free pass to Homegrown. You may use previously shot footage but you can’t change the song in any way. Finished videos will be shown during Homegrown week.

E-mail Annie Dugan (annie at freerangefilm.com) if you are interested in participating or have any questions.

Other Signs of Spring …

Homegrown Week, I know.

Homegrown Festival is a sign of spring for many PDDers, no doubt. But for me one of my favorite signs that Spring is underway is when my lilacs bloom. Or appear to be near blooming, as is the case here.
