A 13-guest musical line up, human powered stage, and plenty of "green" activity is coming to Sullivan, Wisconsin on the weekend of April 18th for the first Operation Adaptation. Operation Adaptation is an environmentally conscious music festival coordinated by UWM student, Nathan Kamsler. Making its debut at Concord House, the festival offers a unique experience for those attending. The organizers are taking a few steps to reduce the festival's resource use.
- A main stage powered by eight fans on stationary bikes.
- Planting one tree for each ticket sold.
- Compostable corn-based dishes and utensils.
- Purchasing carbon credits to offset CO2 emissions, including those from band travel.
- Food drive to benefit Hunger Task Force of Milwaukee.
- The $5 parking and camping fee will go to Jam for Jamaica- a group focusing on music education and rebuilding homes in central Jamaica.
dexterous acoustic axe men..."Chinese Fingertrap is a Milwaukee based band with female vocals. They are also headlining the concert. Their acclaimed sound is a high-energy blend of funk, jam, jazz, and rock... a sound sure to please.
The music is just a small part of the overall festival. The main goal of the festival is to "publicize the environmentally healthy alternatives that many had working individuals and green companies strive to produce". Campers have a lot to look forward to.
The release promises a stunning light show. the music is going to be spectacular. The most amazing part of the festival to me is the bike powered stage by Power by the People. This is for certain going to be one of the biggest trend setters in the festival season this year. With great music and eco-friendly alternatives, who knows how much change this one weekend can bring.
