Band Elects Name...finally

My traditional bluegrass band has finally taken on the formal name of "The Upper Grassmen." We took this name to kinda reflect that we're not a bunch of young people and a couple of us have actually been "around" the music business. The name works very well for what we are. After months of searching, we hammered on this one for a couple of weeks and finally made it so. It's different and will make us stand out in a sea of "mountains, ridges, creeks and boys."

The Upper Grassmen perform this Saturday night at the Chrystal Opry House in White Mound Texas before a 2 month layoff at that venue. Next Saturday we are in Gainesville, Texas at Depot Days and on Halloween, October 31st we are in downtown Mckinney, Texas for "Scare on the Square."

More dates to follow, complete with a name and everything.

I Will Update Soon

I was looking over this place and realized I hadn't touched it in such a long time. The Frisco Bluegrass Festival is coming up in only a couple of weeks. Everyone give this thing a chance. If you got the time and the $$ to have a day of it, support Alan and the folks out there. I believe if it works this year, they'll have a good shot at bringing it back in 2007. We need that in north Texas in a bad way.

I'll get some updates here soon. I missed the Nickel Creek thing a couple of weeks ago due to b days and such. I didn't see anyone write it up so I haven't a clue as to how all of that went.

There are some great bands coming to town. I'll pass them along in a day or two.
