This Thursday, August 10 at 7:30 p.m. in my Mom's backyard at 816
Grosvenor Street in Woodstock. Opening set by Texas Joe Gee making
his Canadian debut as a solo act (a lot of you will remember his
stellar guitar picking with Audrey Auld Mezera at last summer's
southern picnic). This would be an excellent time to pick up his new
CD: Gee Joe, while he still has copies with him.
Headlining is Romi Mayes who will be celebrating her brand new release
Sweet Something Steady and will be accompanied by Dan Walsh and Chris
Carmicheal. Dan will have his new CD: Diesel and Smokes along with
him for sale. Chris is an amazing guitarist from Winnipeg who has
worked with Romi (and tons of other 'Peggers) for a number of years
and I personally am really looking forward to hear the three of them
play together. Romi's disc was produced by Austin producer wunderkind
Gurf Morlix (Ray Wylie Hubbard, Slaid Cleaves, Mary Gauthier) who will
be playing the Northern Picnic this weekend and was one of my faves at
last years southern picnic and in Bellows this past June.
It promises to be a once in a lifetime show in a gorgeous setting on
a warm Southern Ontario August night.
See ya there.
