A barn dance fundraising benefit will be held on-stage at Tacoma Little Theatre Friday, March 6th at 8:00 PM. Tickets are only $10.00 and can be purchased at Tacoma Little Theatre. Taking the stage is the hot regional band DEADWOOD REVIVAL in celebration of Tacoma Little Theatre’s 90th anniversary.

As mentioned in Rosemary Ponnekanti's blog in GO ARTS - this event is a blatant fundraiser for Tacoma Little Theatre - My wife, Julie Campbell, is the DwR fiddler. According to the band's manager, Carol Pope, "Deadwood Revival creates some of the most unassuming, honest, "feel good" music on the planet, filled with the spirit of old-time Appalachia, soulful American roots and a hint of jam-band improvisation. Their foot stompin’, banjo pickin’, spirit liftin’ original and traditional tunes are quite simply irresistible."

“It was impossible to squelch a smile throughout the set. They bring an effortlessly cheerful energy to every song.” –Performer Magazine

Jason Mogi's clean, imaginative clawhammer banjo, along with Kim Trenerry and Ches Ferguson’s driving rhythm on acoustic guitar and electric bass along with the fierce fiddling of Julie Campbell, provide the musical backdrop for Kim and Jason's powerhouse vocal harmonies that give Deadwood Revival, winners of the Northwest String Summit Band Competition, and the People’s Choice Award from Florence’s Winter Folk Festival, its unique and unmistakable sound.

"You can tell from the first note that they are crowd-pleasers. They're fun, adventurous and yet true to their roots” -Folk & Acoustic Music Exchange.

This started out as a desire for Lakewood Playhouse to have a party to say farewell to me after nearly a decade with that wonderful company. TLT wanted a party to greet me, and I wanted to raise some money and build some community. Julie and the rest of the band were gracious to come on out and join in the fun.

I hope you can join the fun, too!
