A two-day, family-friendly festival of invention, creativity and resourcefulness, and a celebration of the Maker movement.
The second coming of GRINGOLANDIA! The Mickey Western Band and friends will perform in a silver spaceship, where visitors can watch, dance, and participate in the music and revelry.
The overwhelmingly silver spaceship is decorated with art by band members, from the sleek and futuristic to the psychedelic to the morbidly kitsch to the indescribable. Several Dreamachines provide added visual/mental entertainment. CDs and books are offered for sale and between music sets Mickey will be giving readings of his work. There will be live acrobatics - aerial, lyra, stiltwalking, etc - by members of the Lady Circus and friends around the stage, immersing the audience in the spectacle.
The Mickey Western Band plays a raucous mix of folk, bluegrass, gypsy, swing, and rock'n'roll with a theatrical circus bent that inevitably results in dancing in the streets. With Mickey Western on guitar, vocals, and harmonica; Aaroneous on guitarron; Hepcat on drums and percussion; Rom Beane on accordion; and Helen of Destroy on violin.
