Bad Joke of the Week: How many bluegrass musicians does it take to
change a lightbulb?
I would like to send out a big thank you to everyone who made it such
a great weekend! Thursday night at Appalachian Uprising was a
wonderful time, despite the little bit of rain and the mud, but we’ve
got a song for that so it worked out just fine. Greensky Bluegrass
played after us and they are really kicking butt w/ their show! Great
stuff! Also in attendance was Michael Cleveland and Flamekeeper who,
as always, put on a wonderful show.
Friday night we traveled to Bowling Green, OH for a wonderful concert
at Grounds For Thought, a coffee shop and bookstore that roasts their
own beans and are involved with the Black Swamp Arts Festival which we
will be playing in September. There was a packed house and we had a
great time getting to know the folks there and things culminated in a
late night pickin’ party at the coffee roaster’s!
Then it was back to Niles, MI for the Niles Bluegrass Festival. We
had a great time and at the end of the night we hosted a band jam
onstage w/ James Nash, Warren Hood and Chuck Hamilton from The
Waybacks www.waybacks.com as well as three young hot pickers from the
band Lonesome Meadow. www.lonesomemeadow.com A great time was had by
all!
Coming up this weekend are some Indiana shows. We will be at our
monthly gig at Fiddlers Hearth on Friday night and then we will be
traveling down to Bloomington on Saturday for a show at Players Pub on
Walnut St. Hope to see you there.
