Our friends the Carpenter Ants need some help on this cultural exchange mission they have been doing for some time. Help them bring Appalachian culture to Europe. Well, I think it's Europe. Seriously, these guys bring joy to heavy hearts.

Just in: We will gladly play a house party - anywhere within … michael lipton needs your support for Support The Carpenter Ants' Cultural Exchange to Slovakia

UPDATE:

This is an indoor show with Historic Harmony hosting it at the barn., and the barn is a great place for this concert. However. the weather gods indicate we will have to use the Steelworkers parking and the shuttle which runs from 5:00- 6:00 & 8:00- 9:00 PM. It's a short run and should make this convenient.

Please support the vendors even if it rains- come into the barn to eat. (And thoughtfully dispose of the rubbish) Thank you.

Dry Branch Fire Squad coming to town TOMORROW, playing at Harmony's Historic Barn. It's going to be a great show! Tickets have been selling fast, and tonight (May 16) at midnight is the your last chance to buy tickets online at the reduced rate. Friday, tickets will only be available at the gate starting at 4:30pm, $30 cash. Details below! Sponsored by Harmony in the House & Historic Harmony, Inc - Harmony Museum.

Dry Branch Fire Squad was founded by Ron Thomason, a former member of the Clinch Mountain Boys, in October 1976. They are named for a small town in Southwest Virginia where Thomason was born. The current band, including Ron, formed around Springfield, Ohio where he was principal of a local high school. Thomason, as the band's MC, lead singer, and mandolin player, also plays banjo and guitar with equal skill during performances often demonstrates hambone technique which he learned as a child. Their last appearance at the Harmony Barn in 2012 was an absolutely magical night and we hope you will join us for more magic.

It's not too early to start thinking about this special evening out. You may remember Mark Dawidziak from his lecture at Harmony in the House on his bio of American writer Jim Tully. Come see him and as he proudly proclaims, his much more talented wife, Sara, doing a performance of their collection of Poe stories and poems that night, along with an audience chat and book signing of his new book The Death and Life of Edgar Allen Poe. You won't want to miss this one

I was thrilled to be asked to write an article for Rett Abnormal- Zine, Art, Music, etc. & Everett Foster. It was a pleasure to unleash old memories of music and my pre-twenty youth and share them with others. Hoping it resonates...hey, even you old friends are invited to go out and buy a copy and support someone dedicated to the arts as Everett is.
