Hello Friends and Fans,
We just returned from our annual trek to the Appalachian Stringband Festival in Clifftop WV. Great jams with old friends and new, and inspiration to learn some new tunes and dust off some old ones. Lucy got some basic instruction in clawhammer banjo, too!
August includes three musical appearances by Lucy & Marshall and friends. First, this Saturday at the Travelers Rest Farmers Market, one of the best markets in the region!
The following Friday, we'll be joined by Brooke Lauer and Briggs Hamilton to play as the Wolf Moon String Band for the Spartanburg Contradance. Please note that the dance is at a new location--Yellow Mama Music in Lyman. If you know of a great place for the dance in Spartanburg, we'd love to have it move back there. In the meantime, a big Thank You to the music store for hosting.
Finally, we are honored to help celebrate the Founding of the National Park Service 100 years ago by playing on Founders Day at the Carl Sandburg Home in Flat Rock. Weather permitting, we'll be at the Amphitheatre from 2-4pm. We're looking through the Carl Sandburg songbook and will have some samples in our show from that book.
In September, the BattleAxe Band will be playing at the Homesteading Festival in Williamston. Lots of great vendors and demonstrations at that event! More information on the Homesteading Festival facebook page.
Hope to see you soon. Thank you for supporting live music.
