The 3rd New Los Angeles Folk Festival
returns to Zorthian Ranch
August 4, 2012
The day is almost here. On Saturday, people will gather for a one
of a kind music festival at the legendary Zorthian Ranch. Don't miss the
opportunity to visit this amazing place and be part of some
history-making yourself.
Our incredible line-up of bands features over 30 great local acts
(and a few out-of-towners) putting a new spin on what folk music has
come to mean for today's culture. It's music for the people, music that
creates an experience, music that relishes the California dream of
sunshine and weirdness. The Folk Fest's job is to enhance that
experience as best as we can, by placing it in the most surreal setting,
perfect in all its imperfections.
Zorthian Ranch is a historical party place built by hand out of
junk, spare parts, and the relics of legendary parties over the course
of 50 years. It sits at the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains, just 15
miles from Downtown Los Angeles. Bohemian legend Jirayr Zorthian was a
reknown muralist and party host, who surrounded himself with artists,
scientists, inventors, musicians, and the greatest oddities.
You are invited to dip in the pool, explore the grounds, visit the
animals, play croquet, splash in our homemade waterpark and kick up dust
during our square dance. Last year, hundreds of stomping feet created a
10 foot cloud of dust. (Bring a bandana for the square dance, like a
real cowboy.)
The first bit of the day will feature acoustic, unplugged
performances spread all over the ranch in every nook and cranny, then
we’ll plug in for the rest of the day.
In addition to music we have dancers and performance artists and several other indescribable surprises.
What we're doing is crazy as far as music festivals go. For that reason alone, ya don't wanna miss this.
