In September of 2008, the San Francisco and Los Angeles scenes converged under the ancient redwoods of Big Sur to make music, make merry, and make love. Performers included local favorites Megapuss, Entrance Band, Fool’s Gold, The Parson Redheads, as well as fantastic sets from Port O’Brien, Beach House, Sleepy Sun, Sam Flax Kenner and more, all capped by a grand send-off from The Silver Jews [the brilliant, brooding presence of David Berman in one of the band's final performances was worth the price of admission alone]. With attendance for this Big Sur Fire Brigade benefit capped at a mere 400(!) campers, the event retained a remarkable purity and intimacy. Festival In The Forest captures this soon-to-be-legendary (((folkYeah!)))-curated show, and the zeitgeist of the California folk/rock scenes, much as Celebration at Big Sur did some 29 years prior. A true gem of a film, Festival in the Forest is not to be missed by music lovers or documentary enthusiasts.

It is with great pleasure and ecstaticment that we here at Naturalismo can finally tell you about a benefit concert that we’re helping put on in Big Sur that just so happens to be THE EVENT of the summer. It has only been possible (and a giant thanks to) Folkyeah and Arthur Magazine. It’s been a long time coming and many months-actually now years-to get to this point. A cohesive and wholly compelling musical movement that has made both Tyler and I unable to do anything but feature every aspect of it. The culmination point arrives at allowing us to present live in concert artists such as Devendra Banhart with MEGAPUSS, Guy Blakeslee with The Entrance Band, Silver Jews, Tussle, Beach House and Little Wings among many others in the full lineup below. In what I can only describe as the biggest blow out in summer music festivals, Naturalismo is proud to be a part of making a summer music event so lasting and powerful that it should last you through the next. Tickets go on sale July 23rd (Today!) and I’d buy earlier rather than later because this WILL sell out. Stay tuned to Naturalismo for more updates.
