What is “Amy’s Orchid Café” and why is it called that?
Amy’s Orchid Café is an after-hours live music show which begins at 11:00pm on Friday and Saturday evenings. The Camp Mather Dining Hall is transformed into a lovely club-like venue where audience members have the opportunity to enjoy favorite main stage performers in a very intimate setting. While the music varies from festival to festival, one night of the Café will feature a dance band for the entire evening and the other nights’ performance will showcase two different acts. Past performers have included Rodney Crowell, The Avett Brothers, Dry Branch Fire Squad, Trombone Shorty, The Knitters, Hayes Carll, Chic Gamine, Tony Furtado, John Cowan, Chuck Prophett…the list goes on and on. Tickets for Amy’s Orchid Café are sold separately and go on sale at 10:00am at the Information Booth on the morning of the show. The Café was named for the lovely Amy Airhart, the original host of Amy’s Orchid Café.
