Greetings from FloydFest

Hi All!

Greetings from the thick of FloydFest. The venue is thick with friends, DUST, and incredible musicians.

We'll post some pics and a breakdown of the festivities when we return and are able to type from something other than a camp chair!

Floyd Fest

Hi All,

I just noticed two things about FloydFest:

1. Yonder Mountain String Band was just added to the lineup

and

2. The schedules are posted! (And I'm going to need to clone myself in order to get to everything I need to see...ruh roh!)

Details here:

Also, they're streaming music from all of this year's attendees on their site, which is FAN FRICKING TASTIC....so you can just open it up, keep it open, and rock out at your desk all day long. (For those of you chained to desks like moi!)

Getting pretty excited about this one!

DelFest Update

Hi All,

What an amazing time we had a DelFest!! It's going to take a while to roll through pics and get those posted, but for those who missed the excitement, see our coverage here at the Bluegrass Blog!

Lawrence Olds

Hi all,

Our friends, the Lawrence Olds Quartet, are coming back to Cville this Friday night, May 20th, and will be playing at Cville Coffee again!

C'mon out and enjoy!

Calling All Fans of the Arts

Hi All,

When we are not busy chasing musicians around, we are busy chasing our teenagers around, and, the effort du jour for us is PHANTOM OF THE OPERA at Albemarle High School!

The production runs Thursday - Sunday of next week, tickets can be purchased on-line and details can be found here:

The production features top notch vocals and a live orchestra.

Your support of local theatre and musical is appreciated!

WHEW!

That's a whole lot of rolling, camping, shooting and writing, but it looks like a great line up and we can't wait! There are a few obvious omissions....and while we can't make them all, we're certainly open to suggestions. Anyone?
