Most Valentine’s plans look the same — crowded restaurants, overpriced flowers, and reservations made weeks in advance.
We offer something a little different.
Music in the Desert returns this Saturday at 5 PM MST with a special Goth Valentine’s Party in the desert, hosted by Advocatus Diaboli and Melodious.
Instead of a formal night out, this is an evening of firelight, desert skies, and live performance. The show features original music and covers, including the song “An Uncertain Silence” by Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band.
Watch free from home on YouTube and TikTok through Colquhoun Entertainment
This livestream has become a gathering place for people who want something more personal than a typical concert — part performance, part community, and part late-night conversation around a virtual campfire.
Whether you’re celebrating Valentine’s Day with a partner, friends, or simply enjoying the night, you’re invited to join us.
If you’ve watched our latest video, you probably heard the question we get constantly:
“Why does a campground need a membership?”
Fair question.
Most campgrounds are designed for temporary stays. You pull in, set up, stay a few days, and then move along. You might wave to your neighbors… but by the time you learn their name, they’re already packing up.
We realized something.
We weren’t trying to create a place people visit. We were trying to create a place people belong.
At Ka-Hoon Campground – Plateau Hame de Colquhoun, we kept meeting incredible travelers, off-gridders, artists, musicians, and people looking for a quieter life. But the structure of a normal campground meant they had to leave just when friendships started forming.
So we changed the model.
What the Membership Actually Is
The membership isn’t a resort pass. It isn’t a timeshare. It isn’t an HOA.
It’s simply how we keep a stable community instead of a revolving parking lot.
Instead of strict campground policies, our philosophy is simple:
Respect is the rule.
We don’t want a place full of paperwork and enforcement — we want a place where people naturally look out for each other, share skills, and create something together.
What Makes It Different
Our members aren’t just campers. They become part of daily life here.
People garden. People build projects. People share meals. People play music. People host events.
We host regular activities including:
People build projects.
People share meals.
People play music.
People host events.
We host regular activities including:
Music in the Desert live shows
Karaoke nights
Movies and gatherings
Seasonal events
Some members stay a short time. Some stay much longer.
The goal was never to build a campground. The goal was to build a community where people can slow down and live differently.
Who It’s For
This place tends to attract:
Off-grid and solar living enthusiasts
RV and van lifers
Tiny home travelers
Creatives and makers
People escaping strict HOA living
Anyone wanting a quieter, more intentional environment
It’s not luxury camping. It’s not a party resort. It’s a shared space built on mutual respect.
Why We Made the Video
Because the word “membership” confuses people.
It sounds formal — but the reality is the opposite. The membership simply allows us to know who is here, keep the environment safe, and maintain a few real community members rather than alway constantly changing campground.
If you’re looking for a place to just park , we offer multiple platforms to book through
If you’re looking for a place to settle for a while and meet people who actually know your name — you probably understand immediately.
Today we’re going live again with *Music in the Desert*, a weekly solar-powered broadcast from our off-grid homestead in the New Mexico desert. No venue, no grid power — just sunlight, batteries, storytelling, and music.
Hosted by Advocatus Diaboli & Melodious, the show blends singing, parody songs, originals, covers, and unexpected moments that only happen when you’re broadcasting from the middle of nowhere. Sometimes wildlife even wanders past the cameras.
Watch this amazing short video from our off-grid homestead in the New Mexico desert! From unexpected wildlife visitors — like a fox spotted during the Super Bowl — to breathtaking desert scenery, every moment here is unique. Experience the magic of our solar-powered, off-grid lifestyle and explore live music performances by Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band.
Stay tuned for Music in the Desert livestreams, happening Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Enjoy originals, covers, parodies, and storytelling — all set against the backdrop of the New Mexico desert.
A Little Visitor During the Big Game + Music in the Desert Returns
Last night while we were watching the Super Bowl (and honestly — one of the best halftime shows in a while!), something more interesting happened here in the desert.
The cameras suddenly went quiet… and then our security camera caught movement along the road.
A small fox casually walked by like he owned the place.
He wasn’t scared, wasn’t rushed — just traveling the desert road minding his business. Then he actually paused, looked straight toward the camera, and for a moment it felt like he stopped to say hello before continuing on his way into the night.
Out here at **Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center**, moments like this are part of daily life. Living off-grid means you don’t just share the land with people — you share it with wildlife too. Nights can be quiet, but they are never empty.

What Makes Music in the Desert Different?

* Live performance * Animatronic band members * Original songs * Covers & parody * Storytelling and atmosphere * Desert sunsets and night skies

When It Streams
**Music in the Desert streams every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.**
Showtime is **dependent on weather and solar energy** — since the entire production runs off sunlight and available daylight hours, start times may vary slightly.
(That’s the reality of true off-grid entertainment!)

Why We Do This
Music in the Desert exists to prove something simple:
You don’t need a big stage, a giant city, or corporate backing to create art.
Sometimes all you need is:
* a dream * some solar panels * a little madness * and people willing to watch.
Whether you’re a long-time supporter or discovering it for the first time, you’re invited to join the show and become part of the community that makes it possible.
So grab a drink, sit back, and experience live music from one of the most unusual venues you’ll ever see.
A Quiet Visitor Passed Through the Campground Last Night
One of the things about living off-grid is you eventually realize…
We’re not the only ones who live here.
Last night our security cameras recorded a small nighttime visitor calmly wandering through the campground. No panic, no mess, no interest in anything we had — just a peaceful stroll across the property like it had somewhere important to be.
From the shape, ears, and long tail, it *looks* like it may be a fox — but we aren’t wildlife experts. If anyone familiar with desert animals recognizes the species, feel free to let us know what you think.
Whatever it was, the little traveler appeared healthy, relaxed, and completely at home in the desert.
Honestly… probably one of the most polite guests we’ve ever had.

Sharing Space With the Real Residents
People sometimes imagine desert living as empty.
It isn’t.
It’s just quieter — and the neighbors don’t knock.
We see tracks in the mornings, hear distant calls at night, and every once in a while the cameras show us who actually lives here full-time. Moments like this are a reminder that we didn’t create this place. We simply settled into it.
We don’t chase wildlife. We don’t feed wildlife. We don’t disturb wildlife.
We just observe and respect.
Out here, coexistence matters more than ownership.

The Desert and the Music
Experiences like this are part of why we created **Music in the Desert** in the first place. The land, the stillness, the stars, and the unexpected moments all shape the atmosphere of what we do.
Sometimes the audience is people listening to the music.
Sometimes… it’s whoever quietly passes through under the night sky.
**Music in the Desert** is hosted by: 🎙 *Advocatus Diaboli* 🎶 *Melodious*
**Music by:** 🔥 ** Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band ** 👉 https://www.advocatusdiaboliandthegrimleaferband.com Come listen, hang out, and help celebrate another successful year of surviving deserts, music, life, and whatever *this* timeline is.

Why Plan Your Own Surprise Party?
Because:
* You control the music * You control the vibe * You know who’s showing up * And cake tastes better when there’s live music
Also, let’s be honest — this isn’t a *birthday party*. It’s a **survival party**.
We’ve survived heat, dust, off-grid chaos, creative madness, and the general weirdness of being unapologetically different. That deserves music. Loud, honest, desert-born music.

Creating Through Change: Why We Keep Making Music and Hosting Events
In a world obsessed with numbers — views, ticket sales, profit, and constant noise — it can be difficult to explain why some of us keep creating anyway.
We live off-grid in the New Mexico desert. Life out here is quiet, demanding, and honest. You work because you must. You create because something inside you refuses to go silent. Survival has very little to do with money, politics, or religion — and everything to do with resilience, purpose, and community.
For us, music and events are not about chasing attention. They are about **connection**.
Joy Is the Measure, Not the Noise
My joy comes from seeing others happy because of something I helped create — campers feeling welcome, people settling in to listen, or an audience connecting with a performance.
Our livestreams have become a real source of that joy.
Attendance has been growing steadily. Many people listen quietly, fully present, faces focused on the music. Others reach out afterward to tell us how much the show meant to them. Some even arrange their schedules around the livestreams so they don’t miss them.
That kind of connection matters deeply.
Not every audience is loud. Some are listening — and that’s just as powerful.
Creating Through Adaptation
My partner is a writer and a creator. He builds worlds with words and emotion. He knows what a piece should feel like — the weight, the atmosphere, the message — even when the path to bringing it to life looks different than it once did.
What matters is not *how* something is created, but **who is creating it**.
The vision is still his. The words are still his. The intention is still his.
Adaptation doesn’t diminish creativity. It proves devotion to it.
Showing Up, Even When It’s Quiet
Livestreaming allows us to reach people we wouldn’t otherwise meet — people who listen from their homes, their workspaces, or quiet corners of their lives. Without it, we wouldn’t have this connection at all.
These moments — the listening, the messages afterward, the shared experience — are what remind us why we keep going.
Creation doesn’t need to shout to be meaningful.
Why We Keep Going
We believe people should be able to live in ways that make sense for them, adapt without being judged, and create without needing permission.
We don’t do this for money. We don’t do this for politics. We don’t do this for religion.
We do this because being human means creating, connecting, and caring — even when it’s quiet, even when it’s unconventional, even when the world isn’t watching.
And for those who have found us through the livestreams: thank you for being there, for listening, and for sharing this space with us.
We’ll be back in venues near you playing the show again — and **Music in the Desert livestreams will be returning soon**.
We’re still here. We’re still creating. And we’re grateful you are too.
