June 27-28 Too Quiet To

Who says music has to be loud always? Not the Quiet Music Festival ever.

In fact the event is more about quiet, unassuming creativity. No rock stars.

Started by artist skater musician Chris Johansen, it includes one of his musical projects Saturday. Friday performers are Marisa Anderson, Mark Eitzel, Neal Morgan/Neal Morgan+Pulse Emitter, Christine Shields and Jonathan Sielaff. Special guests Friday are the Von Trapp Family. Saturday performers are Tujurikkuja, Sally Timms, Hush Arbors, Chelsea Rector and Sun Foot. It's not the basement banger, it's the living room concert. There are 3 couches, otherwise the seating is on a collection of soft blankets with decorative pillows supplied by the venue, lit by scattered occasional lamps. There is also an art show of faux concert posters by William Keihn. Recommended.
