Farmer Jason, Musician

11:00am-12:00pm: Mills River Library

2:00pm-3:00pm: Main Hendersonville Library

 

Farmer Jason has performed several thousand concerts in venues ranging from rural fairs on the Alaskan tundra to posh European performance halls. The highly acclaimed live show involves sing-alongs, dancing, and discussions about nature appreciation, ecology, and farm animals. Farmer Jason performs solo with just his acoustic guitar (no backing track gimmickry), which adds to the spontaneous, high energy nature of his concerts. Although aimed at children ages 2 to 8, everyone is invited to get involved, and they do!  Farmer Jason draws his musical influences from folk, country, and rock ‘n’ roll with a dash of DIY punk rock.  Grab a pitchfork, or your guitar, and climb aboard the tractor!  This is the very last event of our Summer Fun @ the Library, so you won’t want to miss it!
