Lots of BIG things on the horizon readers! I mean, really… Carolina Chocolate Drops this week, an Old Time Music Workshop happening in Echo Park, and The Far West bringing their fair sounds to EB’s Lounge during the Hollywood Farmers Market? I think yes. And don’t forget to snatch up the last few available tickets for this year’s LA Bluegrass Situation at Largo! Only a few remain (for An American Song Cycle with John C Reilly and Friends and The Watkins Family Hour on Thursday March 3) so be sure to get ‘em before it’s too late.
Also, don’t forget to check out our friend Anna Schwaber’s film The Porchlight Sessions (she directed our first Pacific Electric Session shoot with The Get Down Boys!)… they are raising funds via Kickstarter to complete the project and need your help! Take a look at the trailer here:
The Porchlight Sessions is ”a musical exploration that travels from [bluegrass'] roots in Appalachia to the contemporary culture it has spawned in the high Rocky Mountains and beyond. The film offers one of a kind performances and fascinating interviews with many of the creators and innovators of the bluegrass sound.”
