GRASS STOCK 09 and other great news!
by Jon Eric on Aug.18, 2009, under music
Just got back from this weekends’ amazing event Grass Stock ’09.
Talk about some pickin’ ! The WWB (World Wide Bluegrass) was so kind to allow me to share the main stage with so many wonderful pickers.
Thanks to everyone who gave kind words and made it out to chat and pick with me- I live for these kind of events where music, fun, and friends gather.
Anyone with photos or video of the event feel free to forward them on to my email- JonEricMusic@Gmail.com
Would be delighted to share them with others if you allow it.
Special thanks to the WWB, Gracie Muldoon and most of all to Uncle Billy Dunbar! Uncle Billy has been nominated for IBMA DJ of the year so if you are a member – PLEASE vote for him!
HUGE and special thanks to banjoists Butch Osborne, Johnny Butten, for the inspiring and kindred words of their amazing banjo talent!
Last but not least thanks to Roger Bush (bass) for giving me so much ear candy from his friends’ “amazing” cds. Roger & I were chasing the sun picking and singing into the night. Sharing parts of our musical lives which allowed for inspiration beyond words! Such an honor meeting you buddy! It’s very ironic to find that one is an inspiration putting a face with some tunes I has been listening to for years! I am sure our paths will cross again real soon my friend.
NEW BAND NEWS! There is a new band I have been asked to be a part of and we already have been to several venues around town-
The band name is SLEWGRASS

If you have a myspace or facebook page, feel free to add us. We are looking forward to our next gig at BENT RIVER BREWERY on SEPT. 5th 2009 @ 10pm. Get there early- bring a friend or 2 for a night of Bluegrass and fun!
Anyone interested in booking the band can feel free to email me or find us through the other sites we maintain. Book it now for next years’ events cause the calander will book up fast!
