[dcab-l] Bluegrass Open Mikes

I'm really excited to announce the new Bluegrass Open Mikes! These events will feature something for everyone:

* an open mike for those who'd like to strut their stuff on stage with a PA;
* a concert series featuring the DC area's many talented local bands;
* a separate room for jamming.

The Bluegrass Open Mikes will take place every Tuesday EXCEPT the first Tuesday of each month at the American Legion Post 268, 11225 Fern St, Wheaton, MD, easily accessible by car and just two blocks from the Wheaton Metro.

For more information check out the Web site at http://www.barbdiederich.com/bluegrassopenmikes .

And if your band would like to headline at one of these events, just click on the link labeled "Apply" on any of the open dates on the schedule given on the Web page. (The second date, September 17, is still available.)

The first Bluegrass Open Mike will take place on Tuesday September 10, one week from today, featuring the dynamic band Rattlesnake Hill.

I think these Bluegrass Open Mikes will really take off. Please forward this to everyone you think might be interested. Put it on your Facebook page, tweet it, whatever it takes to get the word out. And make sure you're a part of making them a success by coming out to the first one, one week from today on Tuesday September 10!

Common Ground on the Hill begins its 2013-14 Concert Season with a special bluegrass
extravaganza featuring the hard-driving traditional bluegrass sounds of multiple
IBMA Award nominee Danny Paisley and the Southern Grass and bluegrass veterans
Bluestone featuring Baltimore's own fiddle virtuoso Jon Glik.
Danny Paisley and the Southern Grass
Danny Paisley and The Southern Grass are a national and international touring band,
playing powerful, unadorned and intense traditional bluegrass. Theirs is not hybrid
or genre-bending music. The combination of instrumentation and vocals convey the
energy and emotion of classic bluegrass and country music. Paisley's lead vocals
captivate the senses, leading many prominent musicians, including Alison Krauss,
to regard Danny as one of their favorite singers. He combines powerful range and
soulful blues producing an unmistakable and unique bluegrass voice. Son of bluegrass
icon and founder of The Southern Grass Bob Paisley, Danny has made his own niche
in the bluegrass world. "Don't Throw Mama's Flowers Away" won the 2009 IBMA Award
for Song of the Year and Danny has garnered several IBMA nominations for Emerging
Artist of The Year, Male Vocalist of the Year as well as Album of the Year. Southern
Grass continues the family tradition adding Danny's son Ryan on mandolin and includes
banjoist Mark Delaney, formerly of the Country Gentlemen, as well as fiddling sensation
Doug Meek and Eric Troutman on bass.

Bluestone

Bluestone derives its name from the blues in bluegrass music and the stone in the
former Keystone band name. Bluestone formed two decades ago when Dick Laird (mandolin)
and Carroll Swam (guitar & vocals), members of the southern York county band Keystone,
joined forces with Dick's two sons, Heath Laird (bass) and Jeff Laird (guitar)
and veterans banjoist Tom Neal and Dobro player Russ Hooper. Violinist Jon Glik,
known as "Baltimore Jonny," will be with Bluestone for this afternoon of powerful
bluegrass. This hard-driving veteran bluegrass band brings together musicians who
have played with some of the best including Del McCoury, Jimmy Martin, Cliff Waldron
and Bill Harrell. Firmly grounded in traditional bluegrass, Bluestone's music incorporates
gospel, country, blues, swing, and folk influences.

[dcab-l] NEBG: IBMA World of Bluegrass Preview

I've posted my preview of the IBMA World of Bluegrass coming up in
Raleigh, NC from Sept. 24 - 28, 2013. I've tried to make the event
accessible to those planning on attending. Since this is the first go
'round on a re-imagined event, it's a little difficult to project, but
I've provided links to the events, maps, and photos which should help in
negotiating the event. Comments are always welcome, and I'll make
additions and changes as parts of the event become more clear. - Ted
