Our March 5 CD release concert was a big success as far as we're concerned. Cindy Beth Davis and her staff at the Howmet Playhouse in Whitehall treated us and our fans right. A cash bar was available before the show and during the intermission.We were joined on stage by John King (guitar) and Dan Seabolt (fiddle) and they added wonderful depth and dimension to the show as always. We are so very lucky to be associated with such talented musicians and fine individuals.
The set list included all the songs from Turn Back A Page, our newest CD release, plus one or two from each of the previous three and a few of our favorite covers. We even had two father-daughter dance couples dancing in the orchestra pit during Ruth's song, Daddy Dance.
After our encore, our friend Joe Wolff presented Ruth with a beautiful bouquet of flowers and each of the guys in the band with a bottle of something nice.
Video and audio were recorded separately, and we hope to post a song or two on YouTube when they are synced and edited. Many thanks to Dave and Kate with the cameras and Steve for both mixing live and recording audio.
The large crowd of fans was very generous at the CD table, which was managed with aplomb by Street Teamers Tom and Dawn Willi. During the second set we presented a door prize consisting of a new CD along with a Michigan Girl mug and a Michigan Girl pin to the winner of a drawing from names and email addresses of participating audience members who wished to be added to our ReverbNation email fan list.
Opening act was guitarist Justin Wierenga who told us he was treated very well by our audience. His freeform jazzy new age style seemed a good foil for our more rootsy sound.Turn Back A Page is available from us at all of our gigs of course, and also at several brick and morter establishments and many online sources including: CDBaby.com, iTunes, Elderly Instruments, Digstation, etc.
