The Barn Stormin' Brothers

We danced our way across the US of A on bicycle! Performed in unsuspecting laundry mats in all the small towns from VA to UT. Now we're up to other mischief...

If you think you've seen us around Ithaca in the today, you're not mistaken. And yes, we have changed our tour dates. We'll be kicking off our tour on Saturday at Hollins University in Roanoke, VA. But before we go, stop by Juna's for our openning on Friday evening from 5-7. Check out images from the lake show, aswell as original sculptures by us and get yourself on our postcard list.

About Me

The Laundromat Tour:
On September 11th, 2007 the Barn Stormin’ Brother’s began a journey on bicycles that would carry them from Roanoke, Virginia to San Francisco, California performing their work-in-progress, The Two-Headed Nightingale in Laundromats along the way. The Brothers will travel from east to west retracing the steps of the colonial conquest, in an attempt to understand the deep-rooted dream in which land is seized, secured, and exploited in the name of the free. The piece uses song, dance and theatrical vignettes to test the limits of the self. Where does one human being end and another begin? Why do we live in a country that values private property? The performance is constructed as a string of brotherhood equations that evaluate this country’s obsession with ownership and material wealth. We will perform in Laundromats because it is a unique type of public space. We will offer an alternative entertainment, an oasis, which fights prejudice and oppression with a slew of back-bending dance moves, saw-tooth rambling and dizzying percussion. De-robe and De-pants, as we build a wild west out of soap and socks at your local Laundromat.
