We hope all our West Michigan friends will come out to this show in Muskegon's beautiful Frauenthal Theater. You'll love the eclectic acoustic music of the Oat Bran Boys and the traditional old timey sound of Hawks and Owls, and we'll be able to join them all on stage in various configurations. Proceeds to UNITED WAY. Don't miss it.

Concert in Murfreesboro, TN
While we were in Nashville for the IBMA World of Bluegrass, our friends Jeff and Wayne threw a house concert for us in Wayne's spacious (and very clean) garage in nearby Murfreesboro. We were honored to play for their invited friends and family.
Wayne operates a sound company, so he set up a sound system for us. Jeff shot video. We'll post it here and elsewhere when he finishes his editing.
We enjoyed a great meal with the invited guests and then we shared our music. A good time was had by all, and Wayne vows to do it again next year.

IBMA WoB 2009
The band all went to the IBMA World of Bluegrass Conference 2009 in Nashville. We had a blast! L-R below, Max, Ruth, John, Dan.
Certainly, one of the highlights of the trip was our showcase at Layla's Bluegrass Inn, above. Thanks to fellow Michigander, Dave Burley, we joined a number of great bands in this "off premises" showcase venue. There were lots of familiar faces in the audience and we made some new friends, too.
Michael Martin Murphy (yes, that Michael Martin Murphy) has released a Bluegrass CD called Buckaroo Bluegrass. He showcased, above, with fellow PineCastle recording artist Audie Blalock and Redline. Note Lou Reid dashing in to add his fine harmony. Michael gladly had his picture taken with Ruth. Think she's happy to meet him?
We ran into our friend Claire Lynch wandering around the trade show. It's a great place to meet people and find old friends. We chatted with Claire for a long time. She's a delightfully encouraging lady.
You never know who you might get to meet at IBMA. Here's Ruth with country star Lynn Anderson and producer Bil VornDick. Notice Bil is wearing one of Ruth's handmade lanyards.
Our friend Mike Sumner is now playing banjo with IBMA female vocalist of the year Dale Ann Bradley. This showcase, above, was his VERY FIRST SHOW with Dale Anne (right). Kim Fox adds her great harmony singing.
Some of the members of the Ruth Bloomquist Lanyard Club met on the street corner near the Nashville Convention Center: L-R, Ron Murphy, Lora Murphy, John "Sky" King, Ruth, and Max.
It was Dan Seabolt's first ever IBMA World of Bluegrass. He could usually be found as above, playing fiddle in one of the neverending jam sessions. He got kinda famous among the hard core jammers as the fiddler that never quits.
The Harvest Moon rose over a truck on I-94 as we made our way home after a full week immersed in the World Of Bluegrass 2009.
