Doodad Farm

Doodad Farm is dedicated to connecting musicians with music lovers and building community. Here you can feel the music, not just hear it.

Doodad Farm provides a place for our community to experience art and music in a deeply personal way. It is our belief that modern society has created artificial barriers between those who create art and those who experience it, and we seek to reverse that trend. When people come to Doodad Farm for the first time, they immediately recognize that something is different, that this is no ordinary venue. What they’re feeling is the love that was built into this place by volunteers, who all pitched in to make Doodad Farm happen just because they believed in the idea of it. We are not here to make a profit – we’re here to help dedicated artists bring their art to people who appreciate it, and to help those artists support themselves. We never charge for admission, because we feel that everyone should have access to art, regardless of income. We do ask for donations, of which every cent always goes to the performers. Most know Doodad Farm as a concert venue, but we’re here to support community art in every way. If you need a space for a non-profit event, like music instruction, band practice, jamming, etc., just ask and we’ll try our best to provide the space and schedule you need. If you’re doing good work, then we want to support you. We’ve worked hard to build this place, and the more it can be used for the good of the community, the better. All we ask is that you leave the place the way you found it. Doodad Farm pays its bills by renting the space out for weddings, parties, reunions and retreats. Please keep us in mind as a resource for such events. We’re only one minute from I-40 and super easy to access from anywhere in central/Piedmont North Carolina. We’re always looking for support from the community we serve. If you would like to volunteer to help with an event, or participate in one of our work days, please contact us. We often have use for building materials and landscaping materials, too. Sorry, but because we have relatively few shows a year, we can't respond to every solicitation for booking. We generally approach bands ourselves and offer them shows here. If you're interested in seeing how a bunch of energetic volunteers turned an old log tobacco barn into a very cool music venue, see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AY-y3kDOTOg&feature=g-upl

Our monthly songwriters'' circle is this Thursday (10/29) at 7pm. That's when songwriters gather here to listen to each other's original songs, talk about the often lonely process of creating music and lyrics, and build community. Everyone is welcome--even those who have never actually written a song and just want to observe the process.

Our guidelines (we don't like to call them "rules") are as follows:

1. The person presenting a song owns the room for the duration of the song, so everyone else is quiet and attentive. No noodling during the performance unless the performer requests it.

2. Feedback from the group is to be respectful and positive unless the performer specifically asks for real critique. Even then, comments should come from a place of kindness and support.

3. Please keep your song introduction to a minimum, especially if we have a large turnout. This isn't the time to promote your upcoming shows or tell long stories. Please stay focused on the song itself.

You're welcome to just show up--no need to reserve a spot or anything. Bring beverages and/or snacks if you want. We are sometimes outside, but most likely this one will be inside.

If you have questions, please call or text Dean at 336 260-7999.

See you here!

Here Driftwood whips the crowd into a frenzy with one of their classic songs, “The Sun’s Going Down.”

All of you who came out last night to see Driftwood and the Brown Mountain Lightning Bugs hit the jackpot: perfect weather and incredible music from two bands playing their hearts out. The energy both on and off stage was off the charts. Thanks to everybody!
