My mixed feelings about attending house parties never seem to prevent me from attending the highlight musical event of my September, a community hoe-down, hobo dinner inspired affair on a potato and blueberry farm in Longville.
On one hand, house parties with local bands are star-salted evenings of crickets, campfire, and community. You are guaranteed a conversation that will raise your hands to your heart because you know many of the souls gathered and value many of the same things, like dancing barefoot on the barn floor. You spend a string of moments of the evening in gratitude that you were so lucky to be here, while the kick drum and stand up bass sing through the wooden walls of the star-walled barn.
On the other the hand... house parties tend to be invite only, so not everyone, like each of you, could have your hearts opened in kind by the sights, sounds, and stars waiting there.
So for those of you unable to join us for this particular house party with a beloved string of local bands, here are some images of the peace & harmony unleashed that September night. Now that the season of summer music is at a close, maybe these will inspire you to host a house party with a local band of your own this fall. Any of the artists profiled on this site would *love* the chance to be the local band at your house party. Just surf them by the Genre tags on the sidebar menu.
