Mad Art Gallery is proud to welcome back The Ditty Bops. With voices as sweet as honey and harmonies to match, the Ditty Bops call their shows "pagan-vaudeville." Accompanied by guitar, mandolin, piano, fiddle, stand-up bass, and lots of wild costume changes, their music blends ragtime, western swing, bluegrass, and folk. Their 2007 Summer Farm Tour supports Farm Aid and local farm organizations and brings attention to sustainable agriculture. Last summer the pair rode 4,502 miles from Los Angeles to New York on their Moon Over the Freeway Bicycle Tour. The eco-friendly Ditty Bops started a Plastic Reduction Petition targeted to Stephen Johnson, Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The ladies want 5,000 signatures and plan to wear nothing but plastic until they reach their goal. Check out their petition and sign up. If they reach their goal by the time they roll into St. Louis, maybe they'll be wearing their vegetable bikinis instead of plastic. The Ditty Bops return to Mad Art Gallery, this time in their bio diesel van, for two great shows in one great night. The first show is an all ages event, doors open at 6:00 p.m. and the show begins at 7:00 p.m. Tickets for the first show are $15 in advance, $17 day of show and are available through Metrotix. The second show, with a totally different set, is 21 and over, doors open at 9:30 p.m. and the show begins at 10:00 p.m. Tickets for the second show are $15 in advance, $17 day of show and are available through Metrotix. Tickets are also available at Mad Art, $15 in advance, $17 day of show.
