Highlights from Hutchmoots Past
It was a privilege to host Jason Gray's official release show last year. The evening was a rousing and moving success. Special thanks to Jason and his management for bringing everything together and giving our guests an evening to remember.
We're big fans of Sally Lloyd-Jones's work in The Jesus Storybook Bible. Her melding of story, art, and the coming of Christ is a central theme in the Rabbit Room and it was a real pleasure to hear her speak as our special guest last year. We even invited her back in December for the Behold the Lamb of God show at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. She's awesome.
Having written books like The Book of the Dun Cow, The Book of Sorrows, Ragman and Other Cries of Faith, and Miz Lil & the Chronicles of Grace, Walt Wangerin, Jr. is one of our all time favorite authors and was just the man to deliver the keynote at the inaugural Hutchmoot in 2010.
Andrew Peterson kicked off the first night of Hutchmoot 2010 with the official release show for Counting Stars. He and a full band played the album in it's entirety and then went on to play requests. The show was standing room only and it was the perfect way to begin an unforgettable weekend.
Q: What's a Hutchmoot?
A: It's a gathering. A meeting. A retreat. A conference. A powwow. A shebang. An entmoot, without the ents.
Q: What happens at a Hutchmoot?
A: Food. Good food, prepared by our resident Rabbit Room foodie Evie Coates. Quality time among fellow Rabbit Room readers with whom you'll develop friendships that will last until you're 87. Two concerts (a private in-the-round concert with members of the Square Peg Alliance and a second special event that will be announced as soon as details are confirmed). The book release of the Rabbit Room's first bound edition of collected works. Sessions led by a variety of writers, artists, and musicians, including the roster of Rabbit Room contributors. Intimate group discussions on writing, songwriting, and more. Nightly conversation with dessert and coffee.
Q: Why should I go?
A: Because you must.
Q: No, really. Why should I go?
A: We want you to come and enjoy a weekend of music and conversation about the stories all around us in song, film, books--and most importantly the story being told through our lives; our own story--what it means to get to the holy hidden heart of it, how to tell a better story with the days we’re given, and how our stories intersect each other's and connect to the Great Story.
See? I told you so. You must.
Q: Who's going to be there?
A: Andrew Peterson, Jason Gray, Eric Peters, S.D. Smith, A.S. "Pete" Peterson, Evie Coates, Jonathan Rogers, Jennifer Trafton, Randall Goodgame, Andrew Osenga, Russ Ramsey, Travis Prinzi, Thomas McKenzie, and maybe a few surprises. Oh, and YOU. (Because you must.)
