Spring Mill

Spring Mill was a good old time!  The weather was on our side this year, and the crowds were great.  We shared a "stage" (technically speaking, a patch of grass surrounded by haybales) with another Bloomington band, Sweetgrass, and had lots of fun. In between playing, we walked around and heard other acts, visited the apothecary, chapel, etc., got some beans and cornbread, and visited with family (yay Egendoerfers!) who happened to make it down for the show.  Here is a link to some pictures from the Candlelight Tour: http://janssenjones.typepad.com/photos/spring_mill_sept_07/index.html

Follow up

Okay, two comments:

One, I finally posted some of the Max's Place pics Click this here or...>  (see album on left)...

Two, I just noticed a couple typos in the City of Bloomington Fall and Winter Program Guide regarding the Cascades Bluegrass Jam. They do list the correct starting times for individual bands, but just above, they erroneously state the date as Saturday Sept. 9 (Sept. 9 is Sunday) from 5-8:30. Please, folks, ignore this and come at 3 or you will miss a great show!   

By the way, the rain location for Sunday's show is the historic downtown Buskirk-Chumley Theater.  I don't think any of us would be too upset about this (as long as our fans still make it there).

It's September!!!

Yes, already it is September a thankful reprieve from the August heat.  Thanks much for everyone that has been coming out, especially to the local shows.  We've had a busy couple of months, for us anyhow.  If you made it to any of the last 3 shows, you'll notice we have a new fiddler.  She's Laura Goins and right off the bat has provided that wonderful fiddle sound that fills out a stringband.  We've got more shows in September and October.

We played at Max's Pizza for the first time this past week.  Excellent all around.  Great stage, sound, food, drink selection, and most importantly people.  They treated us wonderfully.  Please check out their websites for the loads of live local music they bring to the community.  Make an effort to stop by and listen while you enjoy some of their tasty eats.  If you sing or want to, they host an open mic on Wed nights.   Max's Pizza Place or for MySpacers Max's Pizza MySpace site .  We've got a mess of pictures from there, thanks Dave, and will put them up when we get time.

Our big Bluegrass Show at Cascades Park is fast approaching.  NEXT Sunday, September 9th.  You'll get us starting at 3pm and playing until 4pm, followed by the Not-Too-Bad Bluegrass Band (NTBBB), and finally Don Rigsby and the Midnight Call.  An impressive line-up, that has me a bit intimidated.  Thankfully we are opening.  So come out early to catch us.  We'll warm you up with some energetic old time and bluegrass stringband music, and stay a while to hear some professional bluegrass music.
