Coming To Autumn Fires

Wisteria Amphitheater proudly announces the return of Natural Breakdown

Natural Breakdown

Our goal is to raise consciousness through sound and word. To bring crowds to intense peaks, through a winding river of sound. Like Nature breaks down rock over thousands of years, and how everything can be broken down to its base component, light: Natural Breakdown is a hopeful outlook and a call for change.

We believe that the world is in need of some serious healing, and a strong vehicle for this shift is music.

Telling Point

Strip off your sandals and grab your bells. You won't want to be sitting still when you join this acoustic rock duo from Cleveland, Ohio. The commanding drums will keep you moving as the sensual vocals embrace you. The Telling Point Acoustic show provides listeners an intimate connection with the band. Each song is a story: personal, inviting. Whether it's the djembe groove or the poetic lyrics, you'll want to take this music in and let it touch you.

Annual Autumn Fires Community Clay Pit Firing

The firing of clay vessels and other clay objects began with native cultures creating functional wares for use in gathering food and water. Later, the process evolved to include figurines and other sculptural objects. In the past few decades, there has been a renewed interest in primitive firing processes, as artisans become more interested in the spontaneous effects of these firing processes, and the aesthetic and decorative qualities that occur as a result of the fire.
