Petunia & The Vipers Country Hoedown by Caravan Farm Theatre
Dust off your boots and get your best country swag on… Petunia and the Vipers are coming to the farm! BBQ will be smoking and the Craft Beer will be on tap! Staged in the Timber Barn, with magnificent hullcar mountain as a backdrop, this will be the Alt Country scene you won’t want to miss.
Tickets are $35
Gates open at 6:30 * Concert at 7:30
Petunia is more than just an entertainer, he’s a modern musical enigma. Imagine that David Lynch and Nick Cave had a hillbilly baby, that yodeled… or Tom Waits meets Elvis at Woody Guthrie’s hobo junction. He’s an adventure seeker, a poker player, and a mysterious stranger. He’s been referred to as “The Savior of Country Music”, and a man who exists in a different era, bringing the past forth as something new to be celebrated and not forgotten.
With his band the Vipers they play original music combining elements of classic 1920’s, 30’s 40’s, 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s country, country blues, western swing, alt country rock, Mexicana, French cabaret, Romanian, ragtime, jazz, punk and folk musics. A new music that springboards off of music of the past and jumps into the present day, left with only echoes of the past…
