"Hey Everyone,
I wanted to put out a message for a friend who has worked really hard with his colleagues to put a really wonderful event together. It's called FarFest 2012. The website is here: http://www.farfest.com/
Tickets are now on sale.
My friend Gerry has helped organize this event. It is unique because they are having bands coming to play, and his group has offered to locate hard to find instruments for the bands so that when they play at the event they can reproduce the amazing progressive rock sound of the 70's. Gerry and his group went out and FOUND these instruments so that the bands could play them at this event. Basically, the goal of FarFest is to bring these lovely instruments and bands together to produce the sounds that we love, and some bands are reforming just for the performance!
On opening night, the keyboards will be on display in the Ninth Muse - an ample space on the second floor of the Grand Opera House. The exhibit will definitely be interactive, and it's expected that there will be a large variety of instruments on display.
Here is a list of the instruments the bands requested:
Elka Rhapsody 610
Farfisa Syntorchestra
Fender Rhodes Electric Piano
Hammond B3 Organ
Mellotron 400
Mini Moog
Moog Taurus Bass Pedals
Steinway 9' Concert Grand Piano
Yamaha 6' Baby Grand Piano
The last I talked to Gerry they had lined up most of the keyboards they were looking for and were trying to track down an Elka and Farfisa. He offered a free ticket for all 4 days to anyone who provides a needed synth for use by the Farfest performers."
