This is a great show, one that I've been rehearsing with Tiff and Noah for a
while now.
Local strings is a cool concept in that the acts are chosen based one their
ability to connect musically.
Noah, Tiffany and I all have one foot in traditional music, so you can
expect old-time and bluegrass tunes as easily as you would original and
crazy covers. Our version of Rocky Top rules (no kidding!)

I know it's been since January that we last spoke, but I live a life where
no news is good news. I have been busy playing shows in exotic places like
Hungary and Missouri, collaborating with friends, doing many a dulcimer
festival and getting to the next step. it's been a year of truth and beauty,
and despite the Chinese curse "may you live in interesting times," this is
indeed the most interesting year I've had yet. Like an Irish summer sky even
the darkest clouds are shot through with sunlight.

So. I am firming up the rest of my year, continuing to collect snail mail
addresses so I can send out a proper newsletter (sudoko, ya!) and trying to
find time to record a follow up to Moonshiner's Atlas, it's time, I'm nearly
ready.

In the meantime, here I am in oppositetown, where my name seems to be in the
paper once a week, and my own voice taunts me from the NPR station, trying
to get you all to come on out and see us tonight. Rhythm and Brews rocks and
Local Strings is a brilliant idea. You should, like, totally come.

C-ya out there.
