The iconic Fur Peace Ranch is foremost a camp for all levels of guitar training taught by a variety of accomplished rock, blues, classical and folk guitarists, mostly from back in the day. The charming 42 acre ranch is owned by legendary guitarist, Jorma Kaukonen, from Jefferson Airplane and founder of Hot Tuna. Big bands from the 60's. But the ranch also includes a terrific concert venue, cool "psychedelic" museum and homey cafe. If you are lucky enough to attend a concert here you are in for an awesome, special and incredible experience. I say lucky because the concert venue has approx. 220 seats and 3/4 of them are held by season subscription holders (30 shows). The remaining go on sale to the public and are typically sold out within an hour of becoming available. At times, it can help to know someone. ;-) Their approach to seating is unique and refreshing from most every other venue you have ever been. The place itself is pretty in a rustic way and intimate like your family room. The high quality sound system compliments the superb artists playing. The crowd can be described as old hippies with a sprinkling of younger music aficionados. People are not trying to take pictures, but instead just grooving on the sounds. Along with the music you can enjoy popcorn, cookies, coffee, cider , etc. that are for sale. But, there are NO ALCOHOL SALES. Probably a good thing since it is out in the MIDDLE OF NO WHERE and you have to drive on a one lane, winding road, up a hill to enter & exit. At night, it is black out there! Being at FPR is a memorable experience that you will want to recreate many times over. read more

Such a cool place! I went for the pho dinner. You pay for dinner and stay for live music. Show up a few minutes early and you can walk the grounds and check out the gift shop and museum in the silo where there is tons of music memorabilia and art. I can see how this would be a totally nostalgic experience for some. If nothing else, it's something different to do. Definitely worth checking out! read more
