Chronic Free Bluegrass In CVille : 11/02
We’ve got a couple great Bluegrass acts playing Charlottesville tonight. First off is The Whiskey Rebellion, who host a regular First Wednesday gig at South Street Brewery. If you don’t know TWR, they’re pretty righteous players, recently returned from a mini tour in Oregon where they filmed a DVD they’re getting set to release. Here’s the trailer:
Also up tonight is LOVE CANON‘S fiddler and Old School Freight Train member, NATE LEATH bringing a crack squad of pickers over to RAPTURE. Players include Love Canon bassist Darrell Muller, Jay Starling from Fredericksburg reggae band The Transmitters on dobro and guitarist Jared Pool — whose actually been borrowed from The Whiskey Rebellion (see above) to play this gig — on guitar. It’s shameless! These dudes are gonna be ripping bluegrass standards in addition to “dawg” tunes, ethereal bluegrass tunes pioneered by one mister David “Dawg” Grisman. In fact, here’s a pic of Nate Leath sharing the stage with Mr Grisman.
Both these gigs are FREE and both of them start at 10 PM.
