Eleven years ago, I started The Moonshine w. my farming friends, Chris & Christy at White Barn Farm (when we looked like this, first few photos). The vision was to build community around great live music, art, dance, and our connection to the land, sustainable agriculture, and delicious food. Over the years this vision has come to life in more ways than words can express. The feeling of freedom and intergenerational joy that comes to life at the Moonshine is transcendent and energizing. We’re so grateful for our beautiful community and are thrilled to host our 11th annual Harvest Moonshine Festival this Saturday! Folks are coming from near and far and it looks like it will be our biggest fest yet! It’s a SUPER harvest moon to boot! 💃🏽🌕🕺🏻

Featuring live music from Billy Wylder, Julie Rhodes, Daybreakers Band, DJ Rutabaga, food by the Kitchen at White Barn Farm, local beer by Get Schwendi, bountiful farm stand, local artisans and dancing!

We’re thrilled to present Hawthorn at the HARVEST MOONSHINE FESTIVAL this Saturday at White Barn Farm!

Hawthorn, created by Heather Scott and Taylor Holland, “digs into its folk roots while also reminding us that tradition is about tending to the flame, not the ashes” (NPR). The Boston-based group is quickly gaining national recognition for its powerful vocals surrounded in old-time banjo, warm guitar, and dreamy electric lines: “When they harmonize, the edges of their voices bleed together like watercolors on paper” (WBUR).

”Billy Wylder is touring in support of an EP, “Whatcha Looking For,” released in April. The spellbinding four-song set seamlessly melds hypnotic desert blues with rich folk and rock textures for a singular sound that captivates with compelling songs and deft musicianship.”

“Coming out of this extremely intense chapter of isolation and division and fear and loss and all these really heavy traumatic experiences,” he [Salloway] added, “we’re just so excited to be able to be sharing our music and our art and keep bringing people together in safe ways to really transcend all of that.”

In 2017 Mafer became the first woman to perform professionally on the electric version of the llanera bandola. Her artistic and educational work ranges from promoting the visibility of women performing traditional Venezuelan music and in particular, Joropo, to showing the versatility of the bandola llanera in foreign genres, compositions and live performances. She has performed at events around the world including the 2018 TED Conference, Latin American Music Awards, Nación ESPN: The Latino Experience, The Monterey Jazz Fest and WOMAD UK. Mafer will be performing with her trio including Patrick Swoboda on bass and Daniel Prim on Venezuelan percussion and drum set.
