A night of music, storytelling and audience engagement with four of NC’s finest. Bob Vasile, Jack Herrick, Nancy Middleton, and Mary Johnson Rockers of Nantahala.
Returning with joy to the annual Festival for the Eno. 60+ bands on 4 stages, art, and food to support our conservation efforts for our beloved Eno River. Nantahala performs on the Grove Stage at 2pm. Advance tickets recommended.
Mary of Nantahala will participate in Doodad Farm’s revival of their John Prine tribute show to benefit the Arc of High Point. From Doodad: “Our first fundraiser/tribute show in 2015 was dedicated to John Prine, and many of us remember that show as one of our best days here at Doodad Farm. Since we lost Mr. Prine in 2020 due to Covid-19, we thought it was fitting to honor him once again. This time we'll be supporting The Arc of High Point, a nonprofit group that supports people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.”
The list of performers is growing and includes favorites like Sam Frazier and the Side Effects, Wes Collins, Wyatt Easterling, Graymatter, Jeff Wall (Bigdumbhick), and many others.

HOW TO JOIN US
You never need a ticket or a reservation to attend one of our concerts - just show up. If we had a gate, it would open at 6pm. Feel free to show up earlier than that, even, if you just want to enjoy the weather, have a picnic, or just hang out (though we may ask you to help set up!). The show will start at 7pm.
Doodad Farm never charges for entry to concerts, though we do request that those who are able (and you know who you are) donate at the stage area. Every penny of donations goes straight to the performers. We think $15-$20 is a reasonable donation for this show. As always, we ask that you surprise yourself with your own generosity to support our performers, keeping in mind that the last couple of years have been particularly difficult for musicians.
Other details:
• Kids, dogs, and all your friends are always welcome.
• Please bring CASH for your donation to the performers and for merch purchases.
• This is an outside, farm like setting (thus the name). Dress like you’re going camping and you’ll be fine.
• We never allow weapons of any sort at the farm. If you think you need to protect yourself, you’re in the wrong place.
• Bring your own beverages, and consume them responsibly. Of course snacks and picnics are welcome.
• If you’re a sitter, bring a chair. We have some extras if you forget.
• Smoking is permitted as long as you don’t bother anyone or do any butt-dropping.
• Please clean up after yourself and treat the Farm as if it’s your own (in a way, it is!).
• A portable toilet and drinking water will be available.
• Let someone help you park, especially if the field is wet.
