Daniel Pearl Day of Music

Harmony for Humanity

Daniel Pearl World Music Days is an international network of concerts that use the power of music to reaffirm our commitment to tolerance and humanity.

 

Taipei will be honoring the Daniel Pearl Day of Music this Sunday, September 11, 2011. More than a dozen bands will be performing on two stages at Huashan Grassland Park. The first act to perform will be our old friends Two Acres Plowed on the Roots Stage at 1 PM. The last show will be Jam w/Butter at 9 PM. See the full stage schedule at the bottom of this post.

David Chen and the Muddy Basin Ramblers will be performing at 7 PM on the Roots Stage. Dark Eyes will be on before us at 6, and Blues Vibration will follow us at 8.

 

We’ve become something of a fixture at Taipei’s Daniel Pearl Day, having performed at the 2004 show at Taipei Artist Village and many others since then. We have great memories of Daniel Pearl Days gone by, some high voltage, and others high octane.

David will never forget shorting out the sound system at the 2004 show by plugging a 110-volt PA into a 220-volt socket, while TC undoubtedly enjoyed a memorable pitcher of mojitos at the 2007 show held at 44 South Village. 

The Daniel Pearl Day show at Huashan in 2009 was unforgettable as it featured FODfest, a band that included Daniel Pearl’s friend and fellow musician Todd Mack. Here's a short video of the Ramblers jamming with FODfest member Chris Merenda.

The next evening, there was another jam bringing together the Ramblers and FODfest at Taipei Artist Village. 

Todd will be making the return journey to Taipei to perform at Daniel Pearl Day this year. He’ll be jamming with Blues Vibration, featuring the Ramblers’ Conor Prunty on harp.

In fact, Todd will perform several times in Taipei in the coming days. He’ll take the stage with Blues Vibration at Bobwundaye at 9 PM on Thursday, September 8, and he’ll also be at TEDx Taipei on Saturday, September 10.

We hope to see you at Daniel Pearl Day 2011. Bring the family.
