Sam Kenny, a folk musician from Grand Rapids, MI, is scheduled to perform
at a mysterious folk music festival called Burning Folk.
The festival, an offshoot of the performance art festival, Burning Man,
is an ongoing celebration of folk music that exists somewhere in
the Sonoran desert of the American southwest. Since the festival moves
around regularly to avoid anti-cruse, Sam, his sister Becky, and his
cousin Sean, have a hard time finding it.
In the course of their strange journey, the trio finds time to
investigate Bigfoot sightings, eat popsicles, swim in cool waters,
visit family, explode vacuum cleaners, dream weird dreams, and
tangle with extra-terrestrials.
Thank you for flying "Burning Folk." Please enjoy your trip.
