This Friday: Holy Ghost Tent Revival at Pop's Farm

We've got another great concert this Friday at Pop's Farm, and we want YOU there!

Rooster Walk and Deschutes Brewery are joining forces to present Holy Ghost Tent Revival on Friday, July 21st at the Pine Grove Stage. Local act The Austin Janey Trio will open. Tickets cost just $12 adv / $15 DOS. We've also got a limited number of Group Ticket Packages available, each with 10 tickets, for $100. They're available locally at the Daily Grind and Rising Sun Breads. The Austin Janey Trio will kick things off at 8:30 pm. 

We won't be offering camping for this show, but the Dutch Inn does have a special $65 room rate that includes complimentary breakfast. Please feel free to bring chairs & blankets, but no outside alcohol (we'll have lots of the AMAZING Deschutes Brewery beers on tap!) We'll also have a food vendor on-site to feed ya!

Nine years, 3 genres, and 4 records into it, Holy Ghost Tent Revival’s sound has emerged as something different than anyone might have expected. The music, now filled with 3 and 4-part harmonies reminiscent of the Beatles in one section and Motown in the next. The drums, bass, and keys, now centered on a Stax-like groove, and the 3 electric guitars now tastefully breathe dynamics into each song. All-the-while, the organic horns don’t dominate but compliment, like the old Memphis soul horns or The Band in “The Last Waltz”.

Now laced with female vocals, 4 part harmonies, synths, and a second trumpet, HGTR is marrying genres in a way that NPR describes as that of a “soul-rock horn band that recalls 60s and 70s classic-rock influences such as The Band and The Flying Burrito Brothers…”. This new sound has inspired amazing acts like Lake Street Dive, Dr. Dog, Shovels and Rope, and Robert Randolph & the Family Band to share their stage with them and in turn has elevated Holy Ghost Tent Revival to a nationally touring, mainstage-ready band.
