The Mighty High & Dry's music is rooted in soulful blues, funk, and jazz. The band is comprised of Chris Teal on drums, Kyle Vock (a Theresa native!) on bass, Alan Murphy on vocals, and Mike Frederick on guitar. Soaring off a recently released, self-titled debut, band members are in the process of recording their second album.

Better Festival, the annual open house, fundraiser, and
alumni weekend for Better Farm and betterArts, is slated from 12-8 p.m.
Saturday, June 21, 2014.
All money raised at the annual music, sustainability,
and arts festival will directly fund art- and sustainability-related
community outreach initiatives in and around Redwood.
The day-long event features live performances by
local and regional bands, a gallery showcasing artwork by painters,
sculptors, photographers, and more, booths featuring art and handmade
items for sale, tours of the Better Farm campus, information about
Better Farm and betterArts 2014 programming, arts and crafts for kids
(and adults!), freshly prepared and locally sourced food, a refreshments
tent, games, bouncy castle, and more! To introduce betterArts' latest
endeavor Better Radio, there will be a booth set up for people to create
content for that station. Music will also be recorded for
live-streaming and podcasts.
Camping is available for $10/person/night. Accommodations are available Friday through Monday, or any night therein.
Entrance to the festival is free, but donations are strongly encouraged. To volunteer, sponsor, donate, or otherwise get involved, please email info@betterarts.org.
