OFF-DA-GRID

"Music Powered by the Sun, Played Off the Grid.

"BaronHead 'Off the Grid' takes acoustic music to a whole new level—literally unplugged and solar-powered. With performances in remote locations, far from the usual venues, these shows are powered entirely by the sun and a love for live music. Join us as we play soulful, acoustic sets in nature’s most beautiful backdrops, using innovative solar setups to stay connected to the music while staying off the grid. Whether it’s a mountain top, desert plain, or forest clearing, BaronHead is bringing the sound wherever the sun shines."
