Hutchmoot 2013 Special Guest: Leif Enger
Announcing Hutchmoot 2013
On October 10-13, the Rabbit Room will convene Hutchmoot 2013 at Church of the Redeemer in Nashville, Tennessee. You're invited to come and enjoy a weekend of live music, great food and conversation, and a series of discussions centered on art, faith, and the telling of great stories across a range of mediums.
We learned in 2012 that 190 attendees was a few too many for comfort, so this year we have trimmed capacity down a bit. Registration for Hutchmoot 2013 is capped at 130 attendees. We're sorry that we can't accommodate everyone who would like to come, but we are limited by the size of the venue and are dedicated to keeping the event comfortable and intimate for everyone involved. We are exploring ways in which we might accommodate more guests in 2014, and we will announce those plans if they come to fruition.

Highlights from Hutchmoots Past
In 2013 we were thrilled to have Bob the Tomato himself in our midst. Phil is founder of Big Idea Productions and his animated Veggie Tales videos have sold millions of copies around the world--but we like him mainly because he's hilarious and he knows how to tell a great story.
It was a privilege to host Jason Gray's official release show last year. The evening was a rousing and moving success. Special thanks to Jason and his management for bringing everything together and giving our guests an evening to remember.
At Hutchmoot 2012, Andrew Peterson ushered this phenomenal album into the world with the help of the band Caleb. You had to be there to understand, but it was a legendary live show that brought down the house. It was an unforgettable evening of music.
We're big fans of Sally Lloyd-Jones's work in The Jesus Storybook Bible. Her melding of story, art, and the coming of Christ is a central theme in the Rabbit Room and it was a real pleasure to hear her speak as our special guest last year. We even invited her back in December for the Behold the Lamb of God show at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. She's awesome.
Having written books like The Book of the Dun Cow, The Book of Sorrows, Ragman and Other Cries of Faith, and Miz Lil & the Chronicles of Grace, Walt Wangerin, Jr. is one of our all time favorite authors and was just the man to deliver the keynote at the inaugural Hutchmoot in 2010.
Andrew Peterson kicked off the first night of Hutchmoot 2010 with the official release show for Counting Stars. He and a full band played the album in it's entirety and then went on to play requests. The show was standing room only and it was the perfect way to begin an unforgettable weekend.
