I can't believe I've never heard of this before! The Everyone Orchestra and Fat Maw Rooney will be shaking the foundations of the Mabel Tainter Theater in Menomonie on Friday, May 8th at 8pm. Tickets are $17 advance/$20 at the door. So what is the Everyone Orchestra? This answer is from their website: "THE EVERYONE ORCHESTRA is a revolving cast of stellar musicians brought together by drummer/conductor Matt Butler for concerts, festival super jams and special benefit events. EO performances are designed to create space for each performers musical personality to shine, engage the audience as participants in the jam and to facilitate a massive celebratory coming together featuring a conductor directing both musicians and audience alike.
The list of Everyone Orchestra talent reads like a who’s who of jam band music and beyond including members of The Grateful Dead, Phish, Moe, String Cheese Incident, Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, Derek Trucks Band, Railroad Earth, Hot Buttered Rum, Tea Leaf Green and Jimmy Herring, Darol Anger, Adrian Belew, Taj Mahal, Maria Muldaur, live painters, dancers, hula hoopers, firespinners, stiltwalkers, activists, a presidential candidate, storytellers and hundreds of others among a growing legion of other performers." WOW. Sounds kind of like Van's Warped Tour slams into the many incarnations of Pigface, but with greater talent. If you like good jam rock, DO NOT miss this event!
