Electric Arcadia BIRTHDAY PEACE DRONE

Join us in welcoming visiting artists Elisa Faires and Meg Mulhearn to Electric Arcadia for our first ever public drone! Separately and together as Spectral Habitat, Elisa and Meg will join Belly Full of Stars and Infanta Silhouette/Linda Heck for an evening of live music featuring voices, strings, synths, electronics, field recordings, fireflies and cicadas.

Doors open for gathering at 5pm and music starts at 6pm with individual and duo sets, followed by an improvised group drone. Check back or just show up in person for more details- it’s hard to predict how the convergence of energy and time will inspire the proceedings!

We will be outdoors in our carport venue at the edge of the woods- rain or shine!
Street parking- use driveway for closer access drop offs, but please keep clear for artists. Bring your own beverage, picnic, chair, blanket, sunscreen.

DONATIONS of all sizes are welcome!
