The Longest Night:

with Hosts Brad Faucher & Hendrik Gideonse
Dec 21, 2024 Doors 5:30 6-9 PM
Down By Riverside @ Arts Collaborative Medford
162 Mystic Avene, Medford

This Saturday night (December 21, 2024) is the Winter Solstice and I am hosting a potluck event for Down By Riverside, Inc. with Brad Faucher that night, to celebrate the longest night, which is when the days start getting longer again. We're at Arts Collaborative Medford where there's quite a bit of free parking.

The "Longest Night" seems very symbolic for what we have coming up in the next four years.

Doors are at 5:30 and at 6:00ish I will start the evening by leading a meditation while playing my 32" unlathed gong. This is a very special instrument that is quite an experience. The idea is to concentrate on the sound. Most people find it very relaxing and enjoyable.

Brad Faucher will join me and we'll improvise together and then play through a bunch of old classic blues and soul music. Then we'll invite musicians to join us, so bring your axe if you would like to join.

We will have non-alcoholic drinks for sale. This is a potluck event and we're asking for people to pay what they can to defray costs. If you're broke, please come anyway.
