A Community and Family Orientated Full Moon Event celebrating the Fine Original Music of Austin, Texas and the World Beyond
Hosted by the lovely and talented LEEANN ATHERTON, an Austin musician and mother, this community and family orientated event celebrates the fine original music of Austin, Texas and the world beyond with friends, dancing, and a potluck dinner to share.
Barn Dances occur on occasional full moon Sundays and some holiday Sundays (Valentines Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Easter) so each Barn Dance has its own unique personality ... Everyone is responsible for the good time!
Open Mic starts the music around 4:00 in the afternoon (sign up to play), the Bar-B-Que pits are fired and smokin', professional chefs make sure its all good, then the special guest artists and the full moon get us having a howlin' good time. The campfire after the dance is strictly acoustic. Generous hearts make it all work.
This Wonderful Event provides you with the following: Paid and Volunteer Professional Musicians, Professional Sound System and Sound Crew, Porta-Potty Rental and Removal, Volunteer Event Prep and Clean Up Crews, Potluck Grill, Cooks, Ice Chests and Ice, Plates, etc., Beautiful Decorated Party Venue, and Local Benefit Cause Support.
You are asked to please bring the following:
$10 CASH DONATION PER PERSON AND POTLUCK TO SHARE such as Food for Grill, Covered Prepared Dish, (prepared food from the grocery store is fine), Beverages.
or
$15 CASH DONATION PER PERSON without POTLUCK
Please no large bills.
