By popular demand, Forty Acres is proud to announce the return engagement of The Old Ceremony, Saturday, Sept 18th at 8:00 pm. This will be a very special outdoor performance, set pool side at the lovely Chatham Country farm home of Scott Kohn and Liz Bromberg. Guests are encouraged to bring folding chairs or blankets for lawn seating.
The Old Ceremony draws water from a deep well of music ranging from the Beatles to Beck, Leadbelly to Led Zeppelin. After three highly acclaimed albums and six years of touring, the Chapel Hill, NC band has built a large and loyal following. TOC has performed with CAKE, Squirrel Nut Zippers, Chuck Berry, Polyphonic Spree, Mountain Goats, and the Avett Brothers. PASTE Magazine's included them in its "Top 100 Albums of 2006" and The Independent Weekly Readers Poll named them the "Best Band for 2008".
TOC is figureheaded by songwriter/raconteur Django Haskins, and includes bassist Matt Brandau, drummer Dan Hall, vibes/organist Mark Simonsen, and violinist/keyboardist Gabriele Pelli. Their new album "Tender Age" will be released Sept. 17th, one day prior to the Forty Acres show.
Since our last Forty Acres TOC show sold out completely, don't delay and get your ticket reservations in asap to tickets@fortyacres.org.
Directions to the venue will be sent to you with confirmation of your reservation. Doors will open at 7:30 and the show will start very close to the stated time of 8 PM. You may wish to bring a cooler with your favorite beverage and lots of cash to load up on great CDs.
