Live Music Fans
We had two excellent evenings of live music last week and two more coming your way this week. On Friday Night, we welcome back three of our favorite local musicians for some musical mayhem. On Sunday, we get to enjoy an amazing, award-winning, touring singer/songwriter/ranch hand and hear some of her new songs. Should be another sweet week of live music in the shop. See you at the shows!

FRIDAY NIGHT - JANUARY 27TH - THE LEONARD CURRY TRIO - 8:30PM

Craig and Lorraine Curry have been making beautiful music together for years and they have made a bunch of it in our shop. With Eliott Leonard on guitar and vocals, you have a trio that has played all over the valley also known as Acoustic Mayhem. They have been one of the most popular local acoustic string bands and put on a very entertaining show in our room. Lorraine will play bass and sing along with the boys who play acoustic guitar and also sing. Expect some beautiful music from these talented locals who share our love for live music.

SUNDAY NIGHT - JANUARY 29TH - MARTHA SCANLAN - 8:30PM - $15 - www.marthascanlan.com

Martha is an award-winning, singer/songwriter who has been touring all over the country for years playing major festivals and all kinds of venues. Her musical career got jump started when she won awards in two categories at Merlefest. Then, back in 2004 she got great reviews for her first solo album "The West Was Burning".

She also played for years with the successful group The Reeltime Travelers. They got to work with T-Bone Burnett on the soundtrack to Cold Mountain which had to be fun. Even Levon Helm joined in on the fun with her album. "Scanlan evokes western landscapes as effectively as Georgia O"Keefe did on canvas." says one review.

She has shared the stage with folks like Emmylou Harris, Ralph Stanley, Levon and many more like the Wilders and even me. I got to sit in on drums for one song and had fun keeping the beat for her band in the shop. This visit she will be joined by Jon Neufeld and play as a duo. Should be cool.

Lately, Martha has been living and working on a century-old ranch in the southwest corner of Montana. She loves experiencing one of the last true strongholds of a uniquely American cowboy culture. Her newest project "Tongue River Stories" is a collection of songs about belonging and place. Check out her website for more details on this interesting project. Then, come out and see a very talented musician and songwriter.

Musically Yours,

Steve, Mary Margaret and Shannon

PS: It was great to have Peter Mulvey back in the shop and we had another wonderful show with his lovely songs and guitar work. He was in excellent spirits after a nice dinner at Phat Thai and delivered a fan-pleasing performance that included two versions of "The Road to Malo". Peter has been visiting since 2003 and this was the first time he thought of pulling down some of my fine guitars and an old Gibson ukulele and making them part of the show. It was so cool to hear them be part of a show. The room keeps on surprising me; in a good way.

Ashleigh Flynn returned with some hot pickers and put on a very cool show of her original tunes. Greg Schochet displayed his awesome skills on electric guitar and a gorgeous Fender Deluxe amp. He also added some nice mandolin work. Great picker and a funny guy, too. KC Groves layed down the beat all night long on standup bass and added some beautiful vocals. She has a great voice and hadn't visited since Uncle Earl played the room. The Quiet American (Aaron Kiem) opened up the show with some cool original songs. He sang up a storm and also played a banjo and ukulele that he built. This multi-talented young man joined Ashleigh for the rest of the night on banjo.

Hot pickers and lots of grins made this a great night of live music and entertainment. You can't beat this little room for both of those things. Come on out. You're missing some great live music, if you don't.
