Michael Hearne’s BigBarnDance Music Festival 2009 has transcended to a premier musical event of the Southwest. Not to be missed, the BigBarnDance plays out under the sun and stars this year in beautiful Taos, New Mexico, where Michael hosts a three-day Americana music extravaganza. Come catch your breath in the magical Sangre de Cristo Mountains the weekend after Labor Day, on the beautiful lawn of the Old Blinking Light Restaurant and, this year, also on the greens just up the road at the KTAOS Solar Center. The BigBarnDance Music Festival is a listening room experience in a festival setting that concludes with the Big Barn Dance.
Michael has maintained a friendship over the years with some of the finest songwriters and bands in the world. True to form, The BigBarnDance provides a showcase for musical brilliance, allowing audiences an up-close and personal experience with songwriters, as they spin tales revealing the creative process and the story behind the song.
Performances kick off as usual at The Old Blinking Light Restaurant, but Saturday's Big Barn Dance takes place at the KTAOS Solar Center less than a mile down the road from the OBL. We're still planning Songwriter Workshops, so check back soon.
