Iowa City, Ames and Des Moines.
Tonight, Friday, April 23rd,AND April 24th
I will be sitting in with my old friends Mr. Babers Neighbors- The Solar String Band as they bring in The South Paw Bluegrass Band from Omaha, NE for 2 shared venues.
Friday’s show is @ DG’s Tap House in Ames, IA
Saturday’s show will be @ Vaudeville Mews in Des Moines, IA
In between all that, I will be coming BACK to Iowa City to play at RIVERFEST! That set will be played from 4pm-5pm Saturday April 24th @ The Iowa River Stage.
What a fun weekend this will be!!!
Also here are a few pics taken by Jason Larson for the 4/20 show this past Tuesday @ The Blue Moose Tap House.
BELOW is another sit in opportunity I had with a VERY special young band that I enjoy for those that are not aware yet, The Workshy is exploding on the jam band scene. Back in December they had asked me to sit in when they came to Iowa City on 4/17- My response??? “ABSOLUTELY!!! I love playing in F#m!!!” : )

Way to go Dixie Chicks! It’s about time for another tour!
A selection was used for the couples skating routine.
With USA’s own Samuelson/Bates. Awesome job in
choosing a piece of music that bends the ear!
Your fans here in America LOVED it and are so proud of you.
Check out the you tube videos circulating the web.
I always knew the world would LOVE the banjo!
Here is my BAND page for Facebook
And here is where you can find some NEW tunes (just added)-
Also the gig schedule can be found there as it was updated this week. Festival season is about to gear up!
Please feel free to share, comment, or rate with those kindred spirits you think may enjoy! Again I can not thank you enough for the whirlwind of a year this has been for me. Living the dream of a lifetime.
Banjo… who would have thought-
Darn it! My father was RIGHT! (grin)
Here’s a thought that has been in my head today:
Patience = working your whole like for that one shot in life!
Wisdom = knowing when to take that shot!
And yes you may quote me on that.
Banjositically yours,
Jon Eric
