2010 OFC Line-Up
Synister Dane
and the Kickapoo Disco Cosmonuts
Prior to Each General Session
There is no better reason to be on time for the keynote presentations than to experience the Synister Dane warm-up. Witty, agro-environmental lyrics and bluegrass harmony come together for agriculture to create a dynamic and organic keynote state of being. Jeff Bartovics, Allen Moody, Jim Pierce and Mark Shepard are the 'nuts' in the band who bring you Populist Protest Music by farmers for farmers and the folks who eat their food. Be sure to check out their website where you can buy their CD at www.synisterdane.com.
The Children's Performance
Friday, 7:00pm-7:45pm
It's Circus Time in the theatre! Come discover what happens when the folks of Ee-Aw County take a hankerin' to join the circus that's come to town. It's a hoot! As usual, we'll have costumes for everyone, narrated parts and lines for those who want to learn them and time for simple set design and construction.
Dance to the PHEROMONES
Friday, 8:00pm-11:00pm - FREE and open to the public after 8pm!
Come on! Stir it up - cut loose and get your compost cooking. Digging deep in the gut bucket rock, jump blues and rock-a-billy crop rotation, the Pheromones (John Navazio, lead singer and rhythm guitar; Glen
Borgerding, bass and vocals; Martin Diffley, lead guitar and vocals; David Edminster, saxophone; Gene Mealhow, drums; Meg Moynihan, percussion and
vocals) will have you dancing like sweet summer's sweat. Their rural rhythms are a visceral experience sure to get your knees a knockin' and your toes a rockin'. And don't forget, they'll play a few waltzes, polkas and country 2-steps too! Of course, all ingredients are certified organic performed by organic farmers!
