| Patchouli is the
acoustic world-beat/folk duo of Julie Patchouli and Bruce Hecksel.
Julie's pure primordial vocals, while compared to such luminaries as
Joni Mitchell, Sarah Maclachlan and Sade have quickly gained her
notoriety in her own right. An award winning songwriter and
accomplished multi-instrumentalist, Julie alternates between guitar,
string bass, mandolin, marimbas and various African drums. Bruce
Hecksel is not just another acoustic guitarist; his style is that of
a "powerhouse flatpicker"! The complexity of his playing and
intricate, solidly-rhythmic breaks can leave listeners transfixed
with their jaw hanging. Patchouli's albums have received critical
acclaim nationwide and received airplay on world, folk, and NPR
radio programs throughout the U.S.

After
enjoying the Festival and all the orchard has to offer, you can join
the celebration of Art + Fire in the village of Stockholm at dusk on
Saturday, September 27. For the 2007 Art + Fire celebration, British
sculptors Diane Gorvin and Phil Bews built a display of large paper
lanterns in the shape of fish, and a 45'-long wooden "fireship"
sculpture on the banks of the Mississippi River on Lake Pepin. The
sculpture was burned in a celebratory fire at dusk on the evening of
Saturday, September 22, 2007. More than 1,200 people enjoyed live
music, handmade lanterns, performances by fire dancers, a procession
of fire-shapes along the shore, and the burn of the sculpture
itself.
The event was the culmination of months of planning and preparation,
including; community lantern-making workshops, artist talks, an
exhibit of Gorvin and Bews' past fire projects, and two weeks' of
intense building on the banks of the Mississippi River on Lake
Pepin.
Join us for the
2008 Art + Fire
celebration. There is no fee for the celebration. Sign up for one of
our Festival + Lodging Packages and enjoy the night!! |
