Most days you can find Dave and Andrea working on the farm, but a couple times a year they like to use the space for music. Those that have been before can tell you it is a very unique experience. These events always sell out and tickets are limited to 140. Glass containers are not permitted. Bring a blanket, chair, good friends and enjoy! These events do require sunshine so if the weather is bad the show will be moved to a TBA indoor location, or tickets will be refunded. If you have any questions, please email us at cicadarhythms@gmail.com

The Shoal Creek Stranglers hold their ground solidly in roots crooning a set of folk music in range of relics from ‘Carter-scratch’ to full-on-electrified swamp-string music and beyond. https://gypsyfarm.net/artists/shoalcreekstranglers/

Cicada Rhythm, Haunted Shed, & Bichos Vivos

 — (EDT, UTC-04) — (EDT, UTC-04)

Athens/Center

Cicada Rhythm put on their 5th farm show with Bichos Vivos, and Haunted Shed. Doors at 5, haunted shed at 6, cicada rhythm at 7, Bichos Vivos at 8pm

BICHOS VIVOS - Rooted in the Brazilian northeast region, Forró is party music driven by the accordion, triangle, Zabumba (big traditional drum), rounded out by guitar, bass, percussion, and vocals. The closest equivalent here in the US is Zydeco with its infectious and highly danceable rhythms. These are deeply soulful songs that also make people swing their hips and dance through the night.

HAUNTED SHED - Fronted by lifelong musician and songwriter Etienne de Rocher, Haunted Shed sometimes sounds like it evolved from the West Coast’s lineage of late 20th century indie rock. Other times it sounds like there is a new genre happening here, right before our ears: something that unravels familiar sounds from the past to weave into brand new patterns and shapes.
