"Permutations of Red Pine"


September 2026



A Red Pine tree was planted at the corner of 212 Merry Street in the late 60s that evolved over the decades into a cooperative household. We are making it a place for comity and creativity; Clarity and the imagination; we change detritus of early 21st century late stage capitalism into art, shrine, paintings, music, sculptures, urban Permaculture and homesteading experiments. We appreciate the used, the worn out, ever crumbling and reassembling; as we all are all the time.

David Rogers - Singer/songwriter from Iowa City, IA who combines the intimacy of folk with acoustic pop dynamics."David's music floats in the window, tender & strong as his heart, calling you to come on out, to listen. I'm telling you, he's a good one!" - Greg Brown, Red House Records"There is a diamond in his throat." - Stuart Davis, Post Apocalyptic RecordsSpot:"...the man makes some very interesting but very hard to describe music. Certainly worth a listen for the musically adventurous." - Dirty Linen"...Spot can really play his ass off." - Mike Watt"...(it all) makes sense, in an acid-folk, progressive-bluegrass, front porch fingerpicking kind of way." - Metrotimes, Detroit, MI
