March Madness

Yes, the college basketball playoffs are upon us, although that isn't really the reason we didn't book a lot in March (though we are both basketball fans). Marshall & I just had a wonderful time playing at the Hometown Opry at WKBC radio in N. Wilkesboro. Held at Minton Music and Pawn, this radio show on a tiny am station has a great, loyal audience of folks who come out every Friday morning 7-9 am to hear live music. DJ Steve Handy always has a lot of enthusiasm and makes his guests feel right at home. At Barefoot Annies this Saturday, we'll warm folks up for St. Patrick's Day by playing mostly Irish tunes. Coming up in April will be the public debut of the Blue Dog String Band, sharing old-time music out at Hagood Mill, and Marshall returns to Barefoot Annies with Square Root. Also, Lucy will be starting a 6-part series about the history of traditional music from this region. It will be a combination of talk, live music, and recorded music on Sunday nights from 7 to 8 pm, broadcast on The Intersection with Johnny Price and Debra Capps on WOLT-FM 103.3 in Greenville. It is webcast, so you may be able to tune in over the internet. Thanks for your support. Hope to see you at a show!
