Seriously though, tomorrow will be cool and I will have some special guests down at The Ark including The RFD Boys who I may be able to coerce into playing some live music if the fundraising is going well. You are also welcome to come down to The Ark and visit us if you want!

Nice write up of last Friday’s show at The Ark by The Carolina Chocolate Drops from Ann Arbor.com

I attended both the Friday and Saturday shows and it was a great 4 sets of music!

Long and interesting article from CentralJersey.com about the mysterious Sweetback Sisters who I have been playing on The Roots Music Project.

Excerpt:
The Sweetback Sisters performed their first gig in June 2006. A few months later they had their self-released EP, which was made primarily to secure more shows. They couldn’t necessarily embark on a long tour because band members were still in college, but they managed to string together a series of weeklong dates. In August Ms. Miller received her master’s in speech pathology from Vanderbilt University in Nashville. “It was perfect placement,” she says. “I got to be around all that great country music.” Upon receiving her degree, she placed her belongings in storage, hit the road and drove directly to a gig.

Nice interview with Jim Lauderdale from The Birmingham Weekly

Here is small tidbit:

One great thing that happened during this time was, when I first started doing the records with Ralph (Stanley), I hooked up with Robert Hunter, who’s one of my favorite songwriters. He co-wrote the new Dylan album, but along with Jerry Garcia, he wrote most of the Grateful Dead catalog. It’s been great working with him. We released an album of songs we collaborated on called Headed for the Hills, back in 2004, and now we’re finishing up another batch of collaborations that’ll hopefully come out in March, and that’s going to be called Patchwork River.
