Big Spike News
- Aug. 25: The latest CD just received a fine review in Bluegrass Unlimited's September, 2008 issue. It's not yet available on their website, but they really liked it! The important parts are summarized here.
- Aug. 24: Had a really nice time at the Lincoln Inn and visited with some old friends who drove all the way down from Montreal. Thanks to Matt Schrag for substituting for Neil (who was called away due to a family emergency) at Ballard Park and Otis Mountain. We're taking a month off to work on some new material, but we have some exciting things coming up for this year and next.
- Aug. 12: It was a wet and muddy couple of days at the Lake Champlain Bluegrass Festival, but bluegrass fans are a hardy bunch and they stuck it out for the weekend. Besides us, there was some great music there. It looked like a very reasonable turnout despite the damp weather. We sold a bunch of CD's and shirts and met some old and new friends. Next up for us is the Lincoln Inn on Tuesday, Aug. 12, the Westport, NY Concert Series on Aug. 14, and the Otis Mountain Bluegrass Festival on Aug. 15-16. Hope to see you there.
- Aug. 7: The current (August 6-13, 2008) issue of Seven Days has a good review of the new CD. You can read it online at the Seven Days website here.
We're at the Lake Champlain Bluegrass Festival this coming weekend (Fri-Sat) along with Del McCoury, IIIrd Tyme Out, The Gibson Brothers, and lots more. We'll have CD's, caps and T-shirts for sale, too. - July 7: After several tedious problems with digital cameras, we finally have Big Spike ball caps and T-shirts available here for sale in the Merchandise section. We think they look great, with a selection of sizes and colors! Click here for ordering information.
- June 22: Just back from the North Branch Bluegrass Festival. This first-year festival was darn near perfect, with the exception of a little rain towards the end of the day. But a great turnout, well-organized, a wonderful site, and some terrific bands made this festival a real pleasure.
