Solstice Festival 2023

The Tank's main work, its daily bread and butter, is its recording program, which serves area musicians, sonic artists and ordinary folks, coaches them in making their own music in the Tank, and gives them a professional quality recording of the results. More basic and informal is the Tank's free, Open Saturdays program, popular with locals, who often come together to sing in the Tank, as featured in a 2016 CBS Sunday Morning segment about the place.The Tank programs its concerts and other events with the specific aim of reaching various parts of the community. In 2018, when the Tank presented in concert the master of the Native American flute, R. Carlos Nakai, The Tank hosted local elders of the Ute Tribe for this event. In 2021, with help from a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Tank produced a music and film event with guitarist Bill Frisell and filmmaker Bill Morrison that showcased interviews with local residents, aged 8 to 80, recounting their memories of the Tank. The Tank also produces free concerts by visiting artists in the local assisted living center, the town park, the local schools and elsewhere.
