Often called “the Hendrix of the Sahara,” Mali-born guitarist Vieux Farka Touré has established himself as one of the world’s rare musical talents — a virtuoso whose style always pays homage to the past while looking toward the future. He has played this barn before. Those are nights people here still bring up.
Thursday, November 5th, 2026 — in the Event Barn at Race Brook Lodge, 864 South Undermountain Road (AKA Rt 41), Sheffield, MA.
6:00pm Doors Open / Vieux Farka Touré takes the stage at 8:30pm. All ages. Limited to 175.
Ticket Price: Early Bird $40 / General Admission $45 / Last Call $55 (plus booking fee). Tiers sell in order, so the earlier you buy, the less you pay.
PRESALE IS OPEN NOW. Early Bird tickets are available today with the code SAHEL. Public on-sale is Monday, September 8 at 10am.
STAY THE NIGHT — our lodge rooms are open through November 7. There is no restaurant service and no breakfast, but there is a fire, a brook, and a very short walk home from the barn. Email info@rblodge.com or text 413-666-1933 to book a room.
