Michael Hearne’s Big Barndance Music Festival
Taos, New Mexico - This will be
the 9th year for Michael Hearne’s Big Barndance
Music Festival. Every year the festival gets
better and more magical. Michael brings his
talents as an award winning singer-songwriter &
master guitarist to the festival. He has also
invited his very talented singer-songwriter
friends. Moving the Barn Dance to the Old
Blinking Light courtyard on Saturday night
exceeded our expectations last year.
The transition from a listening audience to a
huge dance floor was accomplished by volunteers,
audience, & musicians very quickly. This
festival takes place under the stars & sunshine
of northern New Mexico and also captures the
enchantment of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains in
the background. This year’s line-up will include
returning favorites, new faces, and some
surprises.
Thursday, September 8, 2011 and Friday,
September 9, 2011 will feature
singer-songwriters from many parts of the
country. The audience will have an up close and
personal experience with the songwriters, as
they spin tales revealing the creative process
and stories behind the song. On Thursday night,
there will be a jam session following the last
performers Terri Hendrix & Lloyd Maines. On
Friday night, Michael Martin Murphey will close
out the evening.
Several opportunities will be offered on
Saturday morning, September 10, 2011. Terri
Hendrix & Lloyd Maines will lead a
singer-songwriter workshop. Sarah Hearne will
teach free dance lessons on the Old Blinking
Light Patio. Trout Fishing in America will host
a show for children & the young at heart on the
stage. All of this happens prior to an afternoon
of wonderful music followed by the Big Barn
Dance with Michael Hearne & South by Southwest &
Friends.
“I
am proud to have another incredible line-up of
such talented musicians, says Michael Hearne.
We’ve been doing this for eight years and we are
looking forward to yet another successful and
unforgettable festival. Thanks so much for all
your support throughout the years.”
