Hello Friends and Fans,
We haven't been doing a lot of playing out lately, but music is still coursing through our veins and we're getting ready for a busy spring and summer. To help us gear up, we went to a very inspiring albeit a bit chilly Merlefest at the end of April, with plenty of bluegrass, old-time, singer-songwriters, blues, and other Americana music. We had lots of "Oh, we should learn that song/tune!" moments. And then a weekend at the beach to camp and play tunes. So now we're ready to go!
This weekend we're starting out Friday night providing music at the Saluda Grade Cafe. If you've ever been there, you know how good the food is! On Saturday morning we'll be at the always delightful Traveler's Rest Farmers Market. We encourage you to come and shop and get a bit of background music, maybe toss some money in the tip jar. This is Lucy's favorite farmers market in the region.
The next weekend we'll travel a bit west of Greenville to help with a fundraiser for the YAM (Young Appalachian Musician) program at the Oconee Heritage Center, and then further west to play a dance at the Sautee Nacoochee Center on Memorial Day Weekend with Hey for Four (Lucy and Marshall with our friends Fred and Pam Stoll).
Back home at the end of the month, the BattleAxe Band will be at the Greenville Museum of Art! Free, so enjoy music and art at the same time.
Thanks for supporting live music! Hope to see you soon.
