Music Festival in Durham This Weekend (Oct. 7-8)

With the likes of KC And The Sunshine Band and Blues Traveler having just played The Durham Fair and with such deeply rooted historical musical venues as Toad’s Place in New Haven and Sully’s in Hartford, the Nutmeg State’s music scene is quietly hip.

Let’s not tell a lie, being located between New York City and Boston doesn’t hurt in motivating bands to schedule a date in Connecticut. But the truth of the matter is that the tykes to the giants all stop in our humble state to play, to perform, to live for one night in Connecticut for the energy shows here create.

In following such traditions, local company Beamstar Productions is hosting the Third Annual Fall Down at Camp Farnam in Durham, CT on Friday, Oct. 7 and Saturday, Oct. 8.

Admission to the show costs $50 at the door plus a jack-o'-lantern to light up your site, which includes camping with showers, dinning areas with couth and an overall ambiance that music lovers and naturalists alike will enjoy.

The headlining bands include an eclectic mix from the perennial local jam favorites Shakedown and StraddleDaddy to the down to earth reggae beats of Kung Fu. Also performing throughout the weekend will be The Akashic Record featuring Nephrok, The Romano Project, I Anbassa, Chris Sewell and Co., Dear Aliens., Exit 6, and DJ’s Footfoot, Swell, and Ahrun.

If camping, dancing, and sharing a good time behooves you, than as their website suggests, you too may want to join the “Bumpkins behind the Pumpkins” in the pristine foliage of Durham, Connecticut for the a New England weekend of music and fun you won’t soon forget.
