OOTB Barn Jam: July 17th!!!

Open to incoming high school freshmen and older. Starts at 7:30 p.m., so turn up a bit earlier to sign in if you plan to perform. Expect to play two or three songs. You may perform covers, crazy collaborations are encouraged and dancing is … your choice. We’ll have a house guitar as usual. Very important: BYO chair and bottle. Yes, this event will actually take place in a barn in Woodland Park, but a very COOL barn at the home of OOTB regular Amy Dale. At the middle school playing fields, turn right at the sign that says “Matchett Family.” This is directly across the street from Valleyview Drive. Follow that driveway straight to the end and you’re there! Call Darren on 719.502.0581 if you can’t find the place. Click here for directions.

intimate end to a great chapter

OOTB’s last night at the WPAA building was a quiet but fun affair. Only a handful of performers turned up to play, and so we just passed the guitar around twice and everybody shared what their song was about and went for it. Watch this space for info about the OOTB BARN JAM (JULY 16) and our new developments with MAMA. Happy summer, folks!

last OOTB at Arts Alliance June 4

Out of the Bedroom has some pretty awesome plans to join with MAMA (Mountain Acoustic Music Association) at a different venue this summer; therefore, the June 4 event will be the last at the Woodland Park Arts Alliance building. I would like to thank Ralph Holloway for making a home for OOTB since last October. We had a strong first few months in Woodland Park, and I am grateful to WPAA for its support. Please check out WPAA to see how you can get involved. See you tomorrow night! Sign up starts at 7 pm.

May 14 event cancelled

Unfortunately, for various reasons we have had to cancel OOTB on May 14th. Thanks for your patience, and please mark your calendar with June 4. We’re back then for a great night!

May & June OOTB dates

May’s event will be on Friday the 14th, NOT the 7th. And June’s event is Friday the 4th. We’ll take July off, but there are plans afoot for an OOTB album, so stay tuned!!!

quality!

Thanks to audience and performers alike for your participation, and thanks to Tony V for a great job on sound Friday night. Plugging in was fun, and the keyboard allowed for more variety in the performances. We will be going back to our unplugged ways, but we’re giving some thought to how we could incorporate a keyboard into the night. Special guest Aria Souder did a lovely set, and hey it’s not too late to get your hands on her cd.

Aria Souder Plugs In – Be There April 2

Minneapolis-based musician Aria Souder will grace our stageless stage on April 2 with her keyboard. She’ll be doing a classic OOTB mini-gig. For the rest of us, things are as usual with one exception: We’ll be plugged in! Yes, it’s still original tunes only, 3 songs max each, and you may use the keyboard. It will be interesting to experience our little room with a PA. So … something different. I predict you’ll love Aria’s music, too.
