Join us as we play under open skies at the Des Moines Farmer’s Market, one of the best farmer’s markets in the United States! We’ll be playing on the east side of 4th Street, just across from the Vaudeville Mews and Java Joes, from 7 – 11:30am on:
On Nov. 20th a group of talented singers, songwriters, and thinkers joined forces in Des Moines, IA to hold the first ever FolksGiving Benefit, raising donations for the Central Iowa Homeless Youth Shelters. Napkin Sketch was on hand, capturing video and sound, providing record of the musical, magical evening.
Finn Miles unveiled a new song, “Warm warm heart” for the event…listen and watch below!
Last week I had the opportunity to sit down with Dan Bosman, radio DJ for Capital 106.3, and talk about Finn Miles music. We covered a lot of interesting topics including the Telltale Heart EP, upcoming recording plans, musical inspiration and the success recent shows. Stay tuned…I’ll have the full interview posted here in a matter of days!
In preparation for the fantastic billing for FolksGiving I suggest a few little preparation points.
1. Bring your admission. $5 Donation or hats, gloves, canned food donation will get you in the door. Remember, generosity is the key to the door of FolksGiving!
2.Check out the bands…warm up your voice…sing along!
3. Be a friend! FolksGiving is a community event, so either come with friends, or make some friends at the show. FolksGiving will be held in the comfy 4th Street Theater attached to Java Joe’s in downtown Des Moines, IA.
I was nearly run over by a very kind lady today. I was bicycling on a sidewalk and she turned out of a parking lot and nearly beaned me. She chided me for riding on the sidewalk and said I should be on the street.
I hope the text below clears up this little misnomer:
Bicycles may be operated upon the public sidewalks in a careful and prudent manner and at a rate of speed not exceeding eight miles per hour. Every person lawfully operating a bicycle upon a public sidewalk, when approaching a pedestrian or a vehicle occupied by a child under the age of 16 years, shall either dismount or give a clear right-of-way to the full extent of such sidewalk to such pedestrian or child, and in overtaking such pedestrian or child shall give an audible signal before passing.
So…don’t run over bicycles, whether on the street or sidewalk. You just might kill one of your favorite local musicians…
Something’s going on in Des Moines right now. A talented crop of singer/songwriters are releasing new music, playing incredible shows and raising the bar on the Midwest music scene.
Danny has just released a rustic EP of original gems named “Everything Comes from Something.” It’s a wonderful precursor to what I hope is a long writing and recording career from Danny. Check out his music, and definately catch one of his live shows. It’ll be worth it!
