SUMMARY:Film Screening: The Lunatic Farmer
DESCRIPTION:Free Film Screening + Talk-Back\nJoel Salatin: The Lunatic Farmer An Angel Studios Documentary \nMeet Joel Salatin\, the self-described Christian\, libertarian\, environmentalist\, capitalist\, and “lunatic farmer” who has become one of the most influential voices in regenerative agriculture. \nAt Polyface Farm in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley\, Joel and his family raise animals and heal the land by mimicking nature’s own patterns. No industrial feedlots. No chemical shortcuts. Just cows\, pigs\, chickens\, and soil working together the way God designed them to. The farm feeds thousands of families\, restaurants\, and markets while restoring the land instead of depleting it. \nBut when state regulators threaten to shut him down for refusing industrial norms\, Joel digs in. Armed with humor\, conviction\, and a deep belief that we are called to steward creation\, he fights for the freedom to farm differently\, and for a food system that actually nourishes people and the planet. \nFunny\, inspiring\, and deeply practical\, The Lunatic Farmer is more than a documentary about one eccentric farmer. It’s a call to rethink how we grow food\, care for the earth\, and reclaim responsibility for what ends up on our tables.

SUMMARY:Film Screening: To Which We Belong
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, September 4\, 2026 | 7:00 PM\nFairfield Arts & Convention Center | 200 N. Main St.\, Fairfield\, IA\nFree and open to the public \nJoin us for a free screening of To Which We Belong\, presented by David Ford as part of his Regenerative Agriculture film series at the Fairfield Arts & Convention Center this summer. A community talkback will follow the film. \nTo Which We Belong is a documentary that follows farmers\, ranchers\, and ocean farmers around the world as they move away from conventional industrial practices that are no longer sustainable or profitable and adopt regenerative approaches instead. \nThe film shows how these land and sea stewards are using practices such as high-density rotational grazing\, no-till farming\, cover crops\, diverse crop rotations\, and regenerative ocean farming (growing seaweed and shellfish). Together\, these methods rebuild soil health\, increase organic matter\, improve water cycles\, and pull significant amounts of carbon out of the atmosphere and back into the ground. \nAt its core\, the film makes a simple but powerful case: the solutions to climate change\, declining soil fertility\, and environmental degradation may already be under our feet — and in the hands of the people who work the land and sea every day.

SUMMARY:Southeast Iowa Blues Society Presents: Fallin' for the Blues
DESCRIPTION:This is not an Artist Series performance and is excluded from 2026-2027 Season Passes and Packages.  \n\nPresented by the Southeast Iowa Blues Society \nGrammy-nominated bassist and vocalist Danielle Nicole brings her gutsy\, blues-soaked sound to Fairfield\, with special guest opener Matt Woods. Doors open at 6:00 PM with BBQ from Sweet N Saucy\, full bar available throughout the evening. \n6:00 PM — Doors Open with Sweet N Saucy BBQ\n7:00 PM — Matt Woods\n8:00 PM — Danielle Nicole Band \nDanielle Nicole\n“That girl gets down to the nitty gritty.” ~ Koko Taylor \nDanielle Nicole Schnebelen began music from the moment she was born. Musical influences from generations on both sides of her parent’s families ensured that a love of playing music would continue to be passed among her and her siblings. \nFans love her for her raw yet controlled vocals and her gutsy lyrics\, which act like a sucker punch on the often male-dominated blues scene. Critics love her for her obvious skill\, honed to a fine point and often garnering her critical acclaim and national awards. \nNicole’s distinctive\, inventive bass work—which resulted in her not only becoming the first woman to ever be nominated in the category of Instrumentalist – Bass in The Blues Foundation’s 2012 Blues Music Awards\, but also the first woman ever to receive the honor—is the product of years of intensive roadwork. \n\nAs a founding member of the “Heavy Blues” sibling band Trampled Under Foot\, she and her brothers took top honors at the International Blues Challenge in the US\, propelling them into Canada\, Scandinavia\, Europe\, UK and was featured on several Legendary Rhythm & Blues Cruises. In 2015 Nicole set out on her own with the release of “Wolf Den” recorded in New Orleans with Anders Osborne. \nNicole’s 2017 release of “Cry No More” ushered in not only a heavier sound and style differentiating Nicole’s already broadening voice and writing\, but also accrued a slew of accolades including a 2019 Grammy Nomination for Contemporary Blues Album. She has now added 5 Blues Music Awards and 3 Independent Blue Music Awards to her trophy case. \n6:00 PM – Doors Open with Sweet N Saucy BBQ \n7:00 PM – Matt Woods \n8:00 PM – Danielle Nicole Band \nMatt Woods\nMatt Woods is both a native of Iowa\, and a longstanding purveyor of its diverse music scene.  As a seasoned performer of many local\, regional and national venues\, Matt has developed a distinct style while staying true to his love of traditional American music.  Woods is well versed in the many shapes this music can take; from traditional delta\, hill country and urban electric blues\, to gospel\, country and folk music. \n  \n\n
