As for the radio show, we squeezed in as much music as we could in a limited amount of time. We made sure to put a tiny bit of the spotlight on Cody Shuler & Pine Mountain Railroad, who will make a return engagement at the East Hartford Community Cultural Center this Thursday evening, December 3rd. For more information on this show, click here.
It's no secret that each Sunday evening, Nick Novia & Joe DeLillo have worked very hard with the fine folks at the Firebox Restaurant in Hartford to make live BG one of THE events to attend in the capital city. Generally, these fine shows feature regional - and occasionally national - BG bands, but today's grouping featured Nick on the guitar & Joe on the bass, as well as some extremely talented New England musicians with whom they don't normally work: Dick Bowden on the banjo, Stacy Phillips on the fiddle & Dobro, and Ben Weiss & Robert Fraker taking turns with the mandolin work. The basketball preemption allowed me to go to this show today
-- Jim & Marti had already planned on being there. While I was disappointed to miss the show's airtime, I was absolutely delighted to get to see these dandy musicians play great, hard-driving Bluegrass. What a great way to end a fabulous Thanksgiving weekend! In the spirit of the season, I'm very thankful that we have such talented folks in our own collective backyard. If you haven't yet attended a BG show at the Firebox, put it on your list of things to do as soon as you can. Next week's show will feature a great CT BG band, GrassRoutes. During this Thanksgiving week, I also got to do a Tuesday afternoon fill-in, and the music I played was of the classic country & BG mix. That playlist is posted here, as well.
Hope you all had a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving with your friends and families, and be sure to join Jim & Marti next Sunday for what we hope will be three big hours of great BG and no sports preemptions!
