The Not Loud Concerts team has found another great hidden farm to present a show, this time in Castro Valley.
On Tuesday, Sept. 16 , an assortment of Not Loud Musicians will be presenting a concert focused on acoustic versions of classic rock songs that we’re calling FarmStock.
This event will be held in a beautiful field at Heirloom East Bay.The 1 hour show will feature mostly songs from the bands that played at the original Woodstock in ‘69, from Janis Joplin to Canned Heat and of course CCR.
Come out on a beautiful warm evening and sit under the stars on provided chairs while the band Dirty Cello, joined by special guests, rock out - but not too loudly.The band Dirty Cello is lead by Rebecca Roudman, often called the “Jimi Hendrix of the cello,” and she’ll of course play some Purple Haze.
Known for their exciting re-imaginings of classic rock songs, Dirty Cello is all about energy and fun. Advanced tickets are encouraged, and there will be bathrooms available, and farm goods to purchase, but no formal food. Picnics are welcome and there is an indoor area in case of inclement weather. Song requests before the show are very welcome - please email them in! (NotLoudConcerts@gmail.com)
Tickets are $20 in advance, and $25 at the door. Tickets available at the door.
From China to Italy, and all over the U.S., Dirty Cello brings the world a high energy and unique spin on blues and bluegrass. Led by vivacious cross-over cellist, Rebecca Roudman, Dirty Cello is cello like you’ve never heard before. From down home blues with a wailing cello to virtuosic stompin’ bluegrass, Dirty Cello is a band that gets your heart thumping and your toes tapping!
“Dirty Cello’s music is all over the map: funky, carnival, romantic, sexy, tangled, electric, fiercely rhythmic, and textured, and only occasionally classical.” Lou Fancher, Oakland Magazine.
“The band plays every style imaginable, and does some fantastic covers. (Their rendition of “Purple Haze” is incredible.) But what is most spectacular about them is hearing the depth of soul in Roudman’s playing—it goes beyond what most people would expect from the instrument. She plays it with so much heart, you’ll wonder why more bands don’t have a cellist.” Good Times Santa Cruz
“The group seamlessly careens from blues to bluegrass and rock in a way that really shouldn’t make sense but somehow does.” LA Times
