Lots happening on the Boudin Barndance this Thursday evening where the sun
finally came out again. We welcomed Jimmy Ryan (Blood Oranges, Wooden Leg, etc.)
into the studio to do some live stuff and plug his gig Saturday night at the
Narrows Center for the Arts in Fall River, MA on a bill with Danny Barnes.
Check out www.ncfta.org for the complete skinny. Also previewed the very cool
Hot Rod & Rockabilly Rumble happening at the Elks Lodge in East Hartford, CT on
Friday night and all day Saturday and all put together by the band The Road
Agents. Featured tunes from a couple of the many bands performing, that being
headliners The Paladins and the Starlight Drifters. Check out
www.theroadagents.com for info. Played some tunes from Merle Haggard who
appears at the Wolf Den at the Mohegan Sun Casino on Tuesday night for a free
show. Remembered rockabilly Ersel Hickey who passed away this week. Worked in
some new releases with albums from Bobby Flores, Dwight Yoakam, and the Avett
Brothers all making their Barndance debut tonight. Buttshaker of the night?????
