Mystic Garden Party gatherings for 2008

Our Maui Mystic Garden Party is almost completely scheduled. There are still some workshop presenter opening if you're into offering a workshop. Please get in touch if you're thinking of coming as it'll help us scale the size of the event to the number of people expected. We look forward to being with you at this 1st Annual Maui gathering & lifting the vibes toward celebration!

 

Last August 2nd - 5th we had our first amazing Mystic Garden Party in Ashland. We're planning already for our 2nd Annual with a few bands already booked along with a couple of unique workshop presenters as well. Last time we had this gathering at Jackson Wellsprings and we might do it there again this year. However, there is another venue we're considering that could allow a lot more people, camping, and be a little farther away from any city.

 

So far we have CONFIRMED one of our headliners for next year:

 

               PANJEA

(the full band with Chris Berry!)

 

For those of you who don't know much of Panjea, they are a band you will probably find out about soon as they are on their way to being known to ever growing audiences around the world. Here's a snippet from their Bio:

 

---------------------------- Panjea Background -------------------

Panjea was given the unique opportunity to open for the String Cheese Incident in the Fall of 2005, combining an incredible family of musicians, leading to the great Michael Kang joining forces with the project in May of 2006 for a month long tour. This was soon followed by a series of festivals including High Sierra, Wakarusa, among many others, also including the String Cheese great. Now, Kang has committed to be an integral part of the band, completing the sound that is Panjea.

All this said, Panjea's music must be experienced live. The performances never fail to pull the audience from their seats, dancing and singing along with the infectious hooks. Recent successes have included repeat performances at High Sierra Music Festival, Wakarausa Music Festival, Highline Ballroom, NYC's Zinc Bar, Mt. Holyoke College opening for Zimbabwean star Oliver Mtuzudzi, and sold-out late night performances at the Blue Note NYC; the list goes on.

Chris Berry and Panjea combine the best elements of African and American music into a tightly knit, compelling music that challenges the head and heart and moves the body. Featuring virtuosic musicianship, and an incredibly eclectic blend of cultures, this is a show not to be missed Are you ready for this?
