Doodad Farm is thrilled to host the one and only Reverend Billy C. Wirtz to our stage for the first time. If you’ve never witnessed a Reverend Billy show, you’re in for a uniquely hilarious experience.
Reverend Billy C. Wirtz is an iconic American blues musician, known for his one-of-a-kind comedy routines set to music. He began playing guitar at the age of 10. In 1979 he joined his friend, blues pianist Sunnyland Slim, in Chicago, where he mastered Boogie piano, Gospel & Blues. Having recorded his first album in 1982, his music is still a combination of classic boogie woogie and "off the deep end" originals. He toured with Boz Scaggs, played in all the big festivals, and continues to perform solo concerts and guest appearances with The Nighthawks. Since 2014, he hosts “The Rhythm Revival” on WMNF radio in Tampa, Florida, which broadcasts on stations from California to Iowa to Florida. As a master of blues history and The Chitlin Circuit’s history, he frequently writes articles for "Blues Blast" and other Blues magazines. Whether he’s writing, playing’ or pontificating, Rev. Billy C. Wirtz is still rockin’ on the ivories and the crowds are still rollin’ in the aisles.
HOW TO JOIN US:
You never need a ticket or a reservation to attend one of our concerts—just show up. We plan to start the music at 7pm, but you're welcome to show up earlier and hang out.
Doodad Farm never charges for entry to concerts, though we do request that those who are able (and you know who you are) donate at the stage area. Every penny of donations goes straight to the performers. We think $20 per person is a reasonable donation for this show. As always, we ask that you surprise yourself with your own generosity to support our performers.
OTHER DETAILS:
• Kids are almost always welcome, but this show has some notably adult content, so please be advised.
• Please bring CASH for your donation to the performers and for merch purchases.
• This is an outside, farm like setting (thus the name). Dress like you’re going camping and you’ll be fine.
• We never allow weapons of any sort at the farm. If you think you need to protect yourself, you’re in the wrong place.
• Bring your own beverages, and consume them responsibly. Of course snacks and picnics are welcome.
• If you’re a sitter, bring a chair. We have some extras if you forget.
• Smoking is permitted as long as you don’t bother anyone or do any butt-dropping.
• Please clean up after yourself and treat the Farm as if it’s your own (in a way, it is!).
• A portable toilet and drinking water will be available.
• Let someone help you park, especially if the field is wet.
Doodad Farm is at 4701 Land Road, Greensboro, NC 27406
