Big Cabbage Radio, aka Radio Free Palmer, will be celebrating May Day by hosting “Musical Mayhem”, the third event in our virtual concert series. Save the date: May 1, 2021 7:00pm-8:00pm.
It’s halfway between spring equinox and summer solstice, a perfect time to bring in our Alaskan spring (maybe the snow will be gone?) with music and song! May Day is historically rooted in agriculture and springtime merriment including dance and song, and bonfires… and later involved gathering wildflowers and dancing around Maypoles. While originally the rites may have been to ensure fertility for crops and livestock and humans, these days some of the traditions have survived just as popular festivities, a reason to rejoice and welcome long sunny days. So, we’ll provide the music, and you can dance around your own Maypole or flowers!
Our virtual concerts showcase local artists and allows them to share their talents with you. You can enjoy watching the concert video and interviews with the artists online or you can listen to them on Big Cabbage Radio.
The performer lineup for the May Day concert:
· “Vested Interest” with Jeremiah Millen, Andrea Childers, Rob Debach, Keith Barkwood
· “Palmer Percussion Trio” with Meggie Aube-Trammel, Lene Kennison, Heather Lampard
· “The River Livers” with Jessie Maybin, Lisa Miles, Phil Hawkins
