Hello Friends and Fans:
Folks have been saying they haven't seen an email in a while, and wonder where we'll be. Well I (Lucy) admit a bit sheepishly, that we haven't sent out any news in a while so that's why you might not know.
At any rate, we have a busy end of the month and May and June coming up, so we'll catch up for that time period, and endeavor to be a bit more punctual.
First up, the BattleAxe Band is thrilled that we were asked back to Merlefest. We will be playing for two contradances at the Dance Tent, Saturday and Sunday, and will again be participating in the Women Who Sing Traditional Songs workshop at the Traditional Tent on Sunday morning. It is a great honor to be able to return
On May 12th, Lucy and Marshall are spending the day in Hub City. First up, we'll be playing train songs and tunes for Train Day at the Hub City Railroad Museum, then in the evening we'll be joining Fred and Pam Stoll as Hey for Four at the Spartanburg Contradance, about 2 blocks from the Railroad Museum. The Church hall is a wonderful floor for dances, and they have been working hard to keep this dance going. If you've never tried contradance, or if you have and you're looking for another one, please come out! No experience necessary.
From the middle of May through early June, we'll be playing at the Farmers Markets again. Come early for the best selection of produce; tunes will be mighty fine for the whole time. See below for which market and musical group on each date.
Hope to see you at one or more of these venues. Thank you for supporting Live Music!
