Daytrotter Barnstormer
Jul 6, 2009
Daytrotter is happy to announce something bad ass.
The first ever Daytrotter Barnstormer is set to happen in just two short weeks. Daytrotter is taking some of its bands and its worldwide acclaim to the small Midwestern streets. Six different Daytrotter alumni bands will be playing select barns and attics in eastern/central Iowa and out-of-state Midwestern city Madison, Wisconsin (we just love that place so it's on the list!) starting July 25 and running through July 29. We are using this unique opportunity to connect with fans and music lovers in one of Daytrotter's home states, bringing some incredible acts to their small cities, just like rock and roll used to do. It's an idea inspired by old posters, featuring proof that the Dave Clark Five, Buddy Holly, The Rolling Stones and the biggest acts of their day played in Iowa cities like Fort Dodge, Monticello, Spirit Lake and elsewhere. We want to start a new tradition of taking great Daytrotter bands to the small dots on the map where they'll be appreciated for their raw emotion and talent, turning a barn and a room into magical spots for an evening. We're encouraging one and all to attend and caravan with the tour, grilling with, camping out and staying at the same campgrounds and bed and breakfasts and Daytrotter and the bands will be. It will be five days that no one will soon forget. All shows are all ages and FREE. Donations will be gladly accepted.
