Perpetual e-Motion's Potluck Picnic Party at "Dancing Oak Ranch"

Our next potluck party is coming up in less than a month on Sunday September 12th. It will be an afternoon affair from 12:00 till 5:00 and will feature a hot young duo from Maine “Perpetual e-Motion” Come lose yourself in the surreal sounds of electric fiddle, swirling didgeridoo, driving guitar and foot percussion. This power duo, perched at the convergence of electronic and traditional dance music, is solely the bi-product of two musicians who love to groove and inspire movement. You won’t believe the layers of sound that 2 guys can deliver, using simple sample and looping technology they will fill the canyon with the most delicious symphony of sound that will have you constantly checking to make sure it’s only the 2 of them on stage.

They begin with the simple statement of traditional, often recognizable dance tunes from Europe and Americas, and proceed to notch it up into a thrilling composition of complex poly-rhythms, melody and counter melody scaffolding exotic and lush chord structures into an amazingly satisfying musical performance drawing from Celtic, bluegrass, jazz and electronic influences. The duo is highly regarded throughout New England for their ability to provide thrilling pulsating music and are in much demand in the Contradance community.

So bring the family, bring the kids (we have a sandbox and trampoline for the youngsters).

No advance tickets for this show, but a $10 donation at the gate would be greatly appreciated (no charge for kids under 16)

Bring low back deck chairs and picnic blankets (small beach umbrellas for the sunny spots are OK too).

Bring a dish to share and remember it’s BYOB for those wanting to drink more than fruit juice provided.

Bring a bathing suit and a towel if you want a dip in the hot tub on the hill, and as always, friendly well behaved dog on leash are welcome too.

Also for those interested there will be a contra dance that same evening in Santa Barbara featuring this dynamic duo. So make it a whole day affair you won’t soon forget!
