The Tallest Man on Earth: The Little Red Barn Show - #ReviveLiveMKE Live Stream Series, 8 p.m.
The Tallest Man on Earth presents: The Little Red Barn Show concert documentary and live Q&A as part of the #ReviveLiveMKE series.
As Sweden relaxed social gathering restrictions throughout the summer of 2020, artists of all types began to explore what was possible in their chosen mediums. A close friend of Kristian had a vision: to turn her farm into a music venue using her barn as a home to the stage.
The Little Red Barn Show documents a group of friends coming together to make a concert happen amidst a global pandemic, on a farm, in a barn, in the middle of nowhere. Director Rolf Nylinder shares his perspective while he watches incredibly talented people work together to make something small, and simple, and ultimately utterly magical.
All proceeds go to support Pabst Theater Group Venues + Touring members & Crew of The Tallest Man on Earth.
