Friday, Feb. 27: Punk Rock Farmer Friday starts with the homegrown music of Saemore, but stick around for trade secrets from Ireland's Peter Donegan. Plus, more true tales of the agrihood with the Utah Native Plant Society and Red Acre Center. Plus, Skywatcher Leo T and Bohemian Bum Farmers Market.
Saemore is an indie western musician from Logan, Utah, channeling two opposing genres through a unique fusion of influences. Drawing inspiration from the cinematic storytelling of Ennio Morricone, the raw intimacy of country artists like Colter Wall and Kacey Musgraves, and the modern indie spirit of bands like Lord Huron and Jesse Jo Stark, Saemore crafts a sound that is both nostalgic and forward-thinking. Her twang-infused melodies, moody atmospherics, and heartfelt lyrics evoke the spirit of the West and what it’s like to grow up there.

It's that time of year when Aldine and Lara check in with Ireland's Peter Donegan, one of the most celebrated garden designers in Ireland and internationally. He is widely recognized for his community-centered work. Punk Rock Farmer Friday managed to get some trade secrets out of him, including the "why" of creating a space that's pleasing to the eye but capable of so much more. Lá Fhéile Pádraig sona duit!
