Dirtwire sits on the front porch of Americana’s future, conjuring up a whirlwind of sound using traditional instrumentation, world percussion, soundscapes, and electronic beats. Comprised of David Satori (Beats Antique), Evan Fraser (Hamsa Lila; Stellamara), and Mark Reveley (Jed and Lucia), each performance brings both band and audience to a mysterious crossroads of beats, blues, African, Asian, and South American sounds. The result is a rebirth of Americana and a post-millennial psychedelic journey to downhome goodness. The trio is blazing a new path and blurring genres, doing it with fearlessness and frivolity taboot.

The fine fellas of Dirtwire are beyond stoked for this weekend’s excursion to Bradley, CA for The DoLab’s annual Lightning in a Bottle. We’re happy to deliver their version of LIB’s tremendous Thrive Guide, 2017 edition.

Dirtwire’s Wild, Wet and Wonderful Guide to Thrive at LIB 2017

“Its that time of year! Bring your hats, floatie toys, SUP boards, sexy swimsuits, bandanas, and your water bottles. We’re going to light it up at LiB! We got water! Make sure to check out the madness in a super-chill floatie world!”

There’s gonna be way too much fun to be had so here’s our guide to exploring the land and the water we call home:

THE LAKE! 

Definitely check out as much as you can! No seriously, its going to be ridiculously fun wherever you go, but we recommend the Grand Artique, an amazing little town called Frontierville, straight out of the Wild West with great live music and vaudevillian shenanigans.

Make a reservation at the Lighting Inn and go see what’s going on at Beacon if you’re craving some community and downtempo vibes go to the The Lodge or if you’re feeling like really getting down in the dust make sure you witness the greatness of the mighty Thunder Stage.

Tons of Workshops!!! Check them out. The Landing – Earth Activism Hub is doing some important work along with so many others. Crazy times are upon us so lets learn from each other and create a new reality together. 

David Satori from Dirtwire (and Beats Antique) will be doing a workshop at the Landing – The Grid – Friday 10:15am on The Creative Process with a live demonstration on what goes into building a piece of music.

The Learning Kitchen is an amazing place to tap into fun new ways of making things from Sushi to Super Food Power Balls!

“Have a beautiful time and we look forward to kicking some dirt up with you!”

With Love,

Dirtwire  -David, Evan and Mark
