Etta Baker Tribute and Blue Dawg News

First, a big thanks to all the folks who came out to hear the Blue Dawg String Band at the Saturday Market and signed our mailing list. For your info, this covers news for both the band and for Lucy and Marshall as a duo. We're very honored and excited to be playing at the Etta Baker Tribute in Morganton this Friday. Thanks to the Charlotte Folk Society for including a nice article in their June Newsletter. I spoke with one of Etta's children and they will have some of her CDs available for sale at this event. This concert will have some of the best Piedmont blues you may hear this year, and it's free! The next evening the Blue Dawgs will be playing at the first ever evening event at Hagood Mill, along with some other fine old-time bands from this region. The Blue Dawgs now have a MySpace page if you want to be a friend: www.myspace.com/bluedawgstringband Marsh and I have a couple fun gigs in early July, too, at the Market and in Laurens. Hope to see you soon!
