Cabin Fever Bluegrass

Summer's Almost Here - When Mr. Thermometer says it's 97 degrees in San Francisco, only two things need to be said... #1) Global warming is happening; #2) Summer is on the way!

Sam's this Summer - We're playing our monthly gig at Sam's BBQ in San Jose throughout the summer. Special guests? Yes, we have them pretty regularly. We'll be joined in May by our good friends Hide Kawatsure on mandolin and Dave Walker on bass. Please check out the Calendar Page for more details!

Festival, Festival, Festival - Summer also means it's festival season, and we LOVE our music festivals here in Northern California. No, we're not going to be on-stage at any of them this year, but we're going to be doing the next best thing.. and that is camping, picking, singing, eating, picking, singing, sleeping (?) ... you get the idea. Strawberry Music Festival? Yup. Weiser Fiddle Contest? Yup. CBA Father's Day Bluegrass Festival? Yup. If you've not been to one of these festivals, well, we strongly recommend them... 'cause they're fun.

Party Hardy - Summer's also a nice time to have a BBQ, a block party, a wedding (see below), and all kinds of fun gatherings that can (viola!) become highly musical. How? Why, by booking a live band, of course. Let us know if we can lend a picking hand.

And Finally - Congratulations in advance to Bryan, our fiddle player, and his fiancee Lisa, who will be tying the knot later this summer here in California. How does the Wedding March sound on banjo?
