MerleFest and summer shows!

MerleFest was a blast! Matt and I got to go to MerleFest and perform Row by Row in the onsite Chris Austin Songwriting Contest! We had a blast and got the royal treatment. We played, we listened to the other contestants, we waited and results are in... Row by Row came in 2nd in the bluegrass category! We're thrilled!

Now, moving right along, Summer shows!

We'll be spending quite a bit of June in Colorado, but before then, Matt and I (the Narrow Gauge Duo) will head up to New England to play at Bluegrass on the Bogs in East Wareham MA! We'd love to see old friends and make new ones as well. This one looks like its going to be a lot of fun! Sunday May 22nd is the day we'll be playing.

Then we'll head west.

June 1st we'll be playing at 4th & Main in Wray Colorado. We played here last year and had so much fun that we just had to come back and do it again.

Friday June 3rd we'll be at Bar SS in Laporte Colorado (formerly the Swing Station). This will be our first time here, so come on out and join us! The wonderful and talented Rorey Carroll will be opening up the show and may be sitting in on a few throughout as well.

On Saturday & Sunday (June 4th &5th) we are pleased to be part of the great lineup for Bluegrass on the River in Pueblo Colorado. Its one of my favorites and it will be yours too if you decide to go!

After Pueblo, we'll cut half the band loose and head over to Montrose, where Matt and I will play as part of the Skylark Concert Series at Cobble Creek on June 17th. If you miss out on this concert, be sure to catch the full band on July 4th right before the fireworks, where we'll of course be sporting our best patriotic outfits!

Oh and how could I forget to let you know who the band is for this trip! I'm thrilled to be playing with such fine musicians as Matt Purinton, David Richey & Zebulon Bowles!

Thats all we have for our Colorado adventure, and I'll be sure to update you on the rest of the summer plans as we go. To find out where we'll be playing and when, be sure to check out our calender!

Hope to see you this summer!
