On Nov. 20th a group of talented singers, songwriters, and thinkers joined forces in Des Moines, IA to hold the first ever FolksGiving Benefit, raising donations for the Central Iowa Homeless Youth Shelters.
Napkin Sketch was on hand, capturing video and sound, providing record of the musical, magical evening.
Finn Miles unveiled a new song, “Warm warm heart” for the event…listen and watch below!
In preparation for the fantastic billing for FolksGiving I suggest a few little preparation points.
1. Bring your admission. $5 Donation or hats, gloves, canned food donation will get you in the door. Remember, generosity is the key to the door of FolksGiving!
2.Check out the bands…warm up your voice…sing along!
3. Be a friend! FolksGiving is a community event, so either come with friends, or make some friends at the show. FolksGiving will be held in the comfy 4th Street Theater attached to Java Joe’s in downtown Des Moines, IA.
See you there!
Something’s going on in Des Moines right now. A talented crop of singer/songwriters are releasing new music, playing incredible shows and raising the bar on the Midwest music scene.
One of these talented young lads is Danny Heggen of the Seedlings.
Danny has just released a rustic EP of original gems named “Everything Comes from Something.” It’s a wonderful precursor to what I hope is a long writing and recording career from Danny. Check out his music, and definately catch one of his live shows. It’ll be worth it!
If you like Simon & Garfunkel style sweet harmonies will excellent, insightful, and “eternal” songwriting then I implore you, go see Storyhill in Zumbrota, MN tonight. Really, it’ll change your life for the better.
I saw the fantasitic duo last night in Ames, and it was a breath of fresh air. If you’ve been looking for a bit of illumination, a little inspiration…make the drive and see them live.
Or…if you really can’t…go listen to their music online and buy a couple of discs. You won’t regret it!
Looking for a night of thoughtful, eclectic folk music? Look no further than this Thursday at the Vaudeville Mews on 4th Street in Des Moines – show starts at 9:30, $5 cover.
Support local/live music. Come on out and bring a friend!
