Making the journey to Deep End Ranch

The concerts are held in this 1908 Craftsman farmhouse, where roughly six dozen people pile in to listen to old-time music acts from around the country.

Once inside, you are liable to greeted by a field spaniel or three, who welcome visitors with tail wags and cuddles.

Host Bunn greets guests who have assembled in his living room for the concert. Bunn began the program as a simple artist residency, but opened it to musicians out of his own interest in old-time music. He is from North Carolina.

The show in early May brought together musicians from around the country. Performers from left: Sabra Guzman, Riley Baugus and Travis Stuart. Stuart often plays with his brother Trevor, who can be seen seated at far left.

The concerts are all by donations — all of which go to the musicians. During the show, the hat is passed and everyone gives what they can.

Members of the audience will sometimes join — clapping, dancing and clogging. This young girl plays the spoons.

Intermission provides guests the opportunity to wander the citrus groves around the farmhouse and pick up a few pieces of fallen fruit. Bunn’s lemons go swimmingly with a shot of Cazadores.

After the show, the audience sticks around for a bowl of chili and freshly baked cornbread, served at communal tables around the house. Bunn’s wife, artist and Cal Arts professor Ellen Birrell, right, hangs out with guests.

Bunn and Sabra Guzman joke around between sets.

After dinner, the aficionados stick around for an informal jam session in Bunn’s living room. These draw expert and novice musicians from around Southern California.
