The Crepe Place is proud to introduce a monthly series of KID’S SHOWS on the Garden Stage! Beginning Saturday December 13 at 11am we welcome FARMER ARANN HARRIS for super fun and educational music for the kiddos!
“My whole heart has gone into making music for kids,” says Petaluma’s Arann Harris. Known as Farmer Arann, he puts on shows and music education programs at his family’s Windrush Farm on Chileno Valley Road, just west of Petaluma. He also runs a summer farm camp and performs monthly at Little Saint in Healdsburg. Harris’s family singalongs are joyful affairs mixing original tunes with a bubble machine and a giant green marching-band-style drum emblazoned with the word “YES!” Harris grew up in Oakland but knew he wasn’t a city boy. In his 20s, he worked as a rafting guide, an outdoor ed teacher, and an Outward Bound leader. In the 2010s, he was a fixture of the Bay Area’s live music scene with his group The Farm Band. But the late nights of a working musician were at odds with raising two kids and working life on the farm. Bringing children and their families to the property for music and nature education brought all aspects of his creativity together. Gregarious and larger than life, Harris creates music that feels genuine and fun. “I’m trying to get people involved, engaged, and smiling—moving their bodies and just enjoying being together.”
