KICKOFF RANCH HOUSE LIVE

MINNESOTA HOMEGROWN KICKOFF
Friday through Sunday, June 1-3, 2012
El Rancho Mañana, Richmond, MN

What. Ranch House Live is an informal open mic. This is a chance for you and your friends to put together a few tunes to perform on the Ranch House Live stage. The idea is to strut your bluegrass or old time stuff in a casual and laid back environment. The emphasis is on friends, fun, and good music, not perfection. The sets will be 25 minutes, allowing for a 5-minute emcee and setup time between sets.

Where.  Ranch House Live is held in the El Rancho Mañana Campground & Riding Stables main Ranch House (campground office) located near the main entrance to El Rancho Mañana. It will be held both Friday and Saturday evenings from 8PM to midnight. The Ranch House can be reached by Festival Shuttle or a bit of a hike. The shuttle will run until after the last Ranch House performers have finished.

Audience and Refreshments.  The Ranch House has many tables around the stage where your friends and family can see and hear you perform while enjoying a beverage, snack or pizza.
