Howdy Folks,
Wanted to let you know about an upcoming show at the Silver Ranch Hall in Jaffrey on Sunday Aug 2nd. The show will feature Wilmington, Delaware based singer- songwriter Kyle Swartzwelder.kyleswartzwelder.com/ I met Kyle in Pa during my June tour, more about that later. Kyle has a new cd out and has some good tunes. He's been voted best male vocalist of the year by radio in his area. I will be opening the show for him so it should be a fun varied evening of live music. Show starts at 7pm with a suggested donation of $10. limited seating. If you didnt make the last show, cmon out and support the music. Partial proceeds will benefit my friends and cohorts, the Jaffrey- Rindge Ambulance. If you havent heard, I won the 2nd place ribbon in the Folk Song category at the Mt Airy Fiddlers Convention in early June which gives me bragging rights for the year. I hardly ever win anything, dont play the lottery, so it was quite the surprise. I fooled em with a not so old song written by Billy Ed Wheeler called Red Winged Blackbird. Ill sing it for you if you come to the show! Anyway my 3000 mi trip was big fun. met a whole bunch of nice folks along the way. Ill be headed to Clifftop WV for the first time for the String Band Festival the last week of July and then to Galax Va for the Fiddlers Convention there. We are planning more shows in Jaffrey, Sept 10th the Blind Tiger String Band from Whitesburg KY with Sabra Guzman will be here.www.myspace.com/blindtigerstringband Cornstalk Fiddle is now being featured on Sugar in the Gourd, a streaming internet oldtime music source. and another disc will soon be in the works. fiddlinly yours, Rich
