ABOUT THE FARM JAM:

The Farm Jam grew from a simple idea to do a little house concert at a beautiful little farm where Steve and Malinda Schultz live in Hsinchu county. We quickly realized that the local community was aching for a living room festival for hundreds of guests rather than dozens. With a built in community of artists, Farm Jam events host an art center and activities as well.

After three Farm Jams in 2012, and a Winter Jam (Jan. 19th, 2013), The Farm Jam is quickly growing into Taiwan's premier acoustic music and community arts festival!

The mission of the Farm Jam is to provide unforgettable events, that are equal parts community arts/performance gathering, intimate house concert, family friendly party, and camp-out at a beautiful retreat in the Hsinchu county hills.

ABOUT MIKE MUDD’S ROCK OPERA - THE WILDERNESS:

"…Fairy tales do come true...”
“A 4:00am revelation revealed that I had much more on my hands than a typical song cycle. A strange synchronicity... these new songs fit together perfectly, as if I had planned it. And they tell a story that's part Through The Looking Glass, part Wizard of Oz, part Don Quixote, and all Grimm... with monsters and witches, potions, and blood.

With rich harmonic and lyrical textures, haunting melodies, and strong, varied rhythms, I believe these songs to be among my most well crafted. The sound is a gothic mix of gypsy, blues, swing, classical, and experimental folk.

I’m excited to be joined by Serena Engel (Cellist/vocalist), my well-known Taiwan band Chen Mo 沉默之音 (2010 Hohaiyan Music Festival -Jury Prize, 2011 Golden Indie Awards - Best New Band nomination),
and other great performers to create a truly one-of-a-kind performance.”

關於MIKE MUDD'S ROCK OPERA - 曠野：
“童話故事成真......”
“上午04點零零啟示，我有我的手比一般的單曲循環。一個奇怪的同步...這些新的
歌曲配合完美地結合在一起，就好像我已經計劃好了。而且他們
講一個故事，透過玻璃看，部分精靈“綠野仙踪”，部分“唐吉訶德”，和所有格林的一部分...與妖怪和女巫，魔藥，和血。

豐富的諧波和抒情的紋理，令人難忘的旋律，和強大的，多變的節奏，我相信這些歌曲是我最精雕細琢。聲音是哥特式混合的吉普賽人，藍調，搖擺，古典，和實驗民間。

我很高興能夠加入由Serena恩格爾（大提琴/主唱），我的台灣知名藍調/搖滾/另類樂隊沉默之音（2010年海祭音樂節評委會獎，2011金獨立製作獎 - 最佳新樂隊提名），和其他偉大的表演創造一個真正的一類表現。“
