Sawnee Moutain Music Festival

For all of you folks that are looking for something to do on the 30th of May, meet me at the Sawnee Mountain Music Festival. The web page is http://www.sawneemountainmusic.net/

Check out my new guitar player, Eric Lambert, he is from Loel, Indiana and by day he is a guitar teacher, by weekend, a performer with me! You'll really like his stage presence and I hope you get to talk to him!

Dixie and Tom T. Hall

I went to Blue Circle Records and recorded on the "Daughters of Bluegrass" album. I had so much fun, Tom T. Hall and Dixie Hall (along with Paula) produced my vocals on a song called, "Desmaranda"! It was so much fun, to really top my day off, they added the "Isaacs" on the harmony. What a dream come true!!! The project will feature several ladies that perform bluegrass and I am very excited to be a part of it. Look for a Summer release!!!

In The Studio!!

Becky Buller is working very hard these days finishing our upcoming album, "Here's" a Little Song"! We are very excited that it will be released by July! We have guests that will be appearing, Dale Anne Bradley, Wayne Benson, Alan O'Bryant, and many more. My band "Liberty Pike" also has played a big instrumental part to make this album sound great.

The project is based on harmonies that are inspired by the Louvin Brothers and all of the songs are new and written by several different writers. I am working on the cover photography, so I don't have a great sneak preview to show you yet. I will be pre-selling the albums soon and will have more information on my web page. Let me know if you have any comments or questions!!

Yes, I am back at home from Silver Dollar City!!

I had a great time at Silver Dollar City and saw many friends. The band was wonderful! I did (of course) go shopping and spend time with my parents. Hopefully we were a success and will get to come back next year!! Love the indoor Riverworks Opera House!! Thanks to D.A. Callaway, he brings bluegrass music to that neck of the woods.
