TAPER NOTES:

A delightfully eclectic and quirky show at an historic venue with a mostly hip crowd in attendance (overtired noisy toddlers and the parents who brought them to the 8:00 PM show excepted!). This show appears to be the only ROIO on Dimeadozen at present from the Haybarn Theatre, which was built in 1868. Overall, the sound is very good to excellent, with intermittent unavoidable crowd noise (clapping, whistling, coughing, etc.).

I had never been to the Haybarn before attending this show, although I was familiar with it for years because Grace Potter and the Nocturnals� first solo album, �Nothing But the Water,� was recorded there. For more info on the venue, see below (from http://www.goddard.edu/community-arts/haybarn-theatre).

The Haybarn Theatre was built in 1868 by the Martin Family and was one of the largest barns in Central Vermont. The Haybarn was originally used to store hay, grain and livestock. In 1938, when Goddard College purchased Greatwood Farm, they began the process of turning the farm buildings into academic and student spaces. The Haybarn was renovated in order to provide a space for the performing arts.

For almost 75 years the Haybarn Theatre has been the site of many different conferences and performances, including artists such as Black Sabbath, King Crimson, Savoy Brown, Phish, William Macy, David Mamet, Bread and Puppet, and many others.

The Haybarn Theatre is a place where the local community and the College come together to enjoy and appreciate the arts. This long tradition continues to this day as the Haybarn hosts educational conferences, student and community performances and the ongoing Goddard College Concert Series.
