Jennybrook Bluegrass Fun!

We are now just hours away from heading north, a skip hop and wobble to Tunbridge VT to Jennybrook Bluegrass Festival.

This is the third year the festival has been held at the Tunbridge World Fairgrounds; and this was the best move for the festival ever.  Now with some real facilities, out buildings, a nice brook to jump in when it's hot, a general store up the hill and friendly neighbors; Jennybrook is becoming one of the "must go to" festivals of New England.

We're looking forward to seeing old friends, making new ones and playing until we can't play anymore.

Last year we signed up for the side stage, and when the festival rolled around, we learned it was a band competition.  Hot Mustard won, and then we got a chance to play on the main stage Sunday, our first ever festival performance.  Kelly joined in for the Kid's Academy performance too on Sunday main stage.  Again, Ted posted a nice write up about us in his blog last year Ted's Blog.

You may be asking yourself, who's that mandolin player, I thought this was a quartet.  We were fortunate to have Adam Buchwald play with us for a bunch of months.  His new born Hazel's first festival was Jennybrook last year, and his son Charlie had a good time too.  Adam is busy building guitars with Froggy Bottom but we're hoping to see him this weekend and play a few.

This year we're booked for Friday night's Sugar House Jam, and two sets on Saturday.  A few members of the TN Mafia Jug band are rumored to come join us at the Sugar House and we're hoping that's the case.

It may be raining, but it's certainly not cold.  There's cover over the audience area, and we should have a great weekend up in Tunbridge VT.  Saturday and Sunday will even be sunny!

I'll leave you with a Hot Mustard video from our youtube channel.
