Tomorrow, Miners Creek will be hosting the second in our series of summer jams at Barnswallow Books in Rockport. We held the first of these jams along with our CD release party and it was a lot of fun. Musicians came and jammed. Singers came and sang. Music lovers came and sang along or clapped...

Happy Halloween everyone! And what a beautiful Halloween it is. Crisp autumn air, seasonal colors on the leaves, sun shining, blue sky. A more perfect day I could not have asked for - a perfect day made all the better by the fact that not only is it Halloween, it's also Miners Creek Bluegrass Band's... Continue Reading →
Yesterday was hot. The kind of hot where I was starting to wonder if maybe I was actually part troll (I'm talking Terry Pratchett trolls with Silica brains who actually get dumber the hotter it gets and turn into geniuses when it's really cold). I felt like someone had opened up the top of my... Continue Reading →

Part of the reason that I haven't been blogging much is that when I'm not working or writing or playing music I'm outside of internet service. For instance July 15th through July 19th I was at Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival in Oak Hill, New York. Grey Fox is like the Woodstock of Bluegrass. You drive... Continue Reading →

I'm having a very difficult time focusing on doing anything resembling actual work because I just want to mess around on my brand new purple bass, whom I've decided to... Continue Reading →
Yesterday, I celebrated my one year anniversary with my upright bass. I'd spent Valentine's Day helping out at the Grasshopper Shop and when I came home there was a bass in my bedroom. Now, my bedroom could accurately be described as a hobbit hole. It's long and narrow, it's actually a smaller than my half... Continue Reading →
Yesterday, was our first day of recording. I mentioned that I had a sore throat. It vanished completely with the aid of massive quantities of tea and adrenalin. The recording process itself, went over fairly smoothly. We did an average of two takes for each song. (Some we did three takes for, some we got through... Continue Reading →
