Hello Friends and Fans, Wow, it's hard to believe Festival Season is already here! We went to our first festival of the year, Bear on the Square, in Dahlonega, Georgia this past weekend. And, this coming weekend, we will make our annual pilgrimage to Merlefest for Lucy's big emcee gig and lots of great music. Fiddler's Grove, Mount Airy, Wayne Henderson's festival, and the Grayson County Fiddler's Convention are on our agenda through the end of June. This past month saw the debut of our new string band, the Blue Dawg String Band, with partners Don and Barb Massey and Pete and Jodi Dodd. We had a great time playing at Hagood Mill with them. We also had a fabulous time at the Village Cup, helping Brooke Mitchell and Daniel Lauer celebrate at her wedding shower; in fact, it was so much fun we're headed back there at the end of May. Marshall also performed this past month with Square Root, at Barefoot Annie's on April 12. Coming up this next month, we are playing at the Coffee Underground on May 16, along with the Blue Dawg String Band. And, we'll be returning to one of our favorite places, Barefoot Annies, on Saturday May 17. The Blue Dawg String Band will also be downtown at the Greenville Market on Saturday morning May 31. Barefoot Annie's will be moving later this Spring/ early Summer about a block away from the current location to the other side of Curtis Street in Simpsonville, at the former location of Jam Penny Tea Room. We're looking forward to playing in the new spot, too! The address will be changed on the calendar as soon as that is official! Congrats to Barefoot Annie! On a bittersweet note, the WOLT radio show announced this past weekend that the series of music shows has been postponed until at least September. We were at the last show of the season at WOLT this past Sunday and played a bunch of early blues from Greenville and nearby. (a change from the originally planned theme) The Intersection plans to be back; stay tuned & we'll let you know! Thanks for all your support.
