Sonic Orchard music festival

July 15, 2008

Music. Art. Ecology
Part experimental art show ,part kick ass concert, part feast , part field party.
For us, all of us. You, me, our friends, strangers for now, kids, families. Build community.
A music line-up like the best mixed tape you ever crafted…covering the sounds from channel to channel on the airwaves.
Intimate crowd, wide open spaces. Land and love. Sound. Sound. Sound.
Commitment to the best in eco conscious festival practices, commitment to enjoying life without lectures.
Balance. In the moment, the experience, the friendship, the living.
Music. Art .Ecology.

This is Sonic Orchard
