Dig into Nechville Banjos

"Last spring at the Muddy Roots Spring Weekender I met Buck Thrailkill and instantly hit it off. Talking trash about banjo picking and taking cracks at how old he is. ( He is pretty old ) I knew he worked with Rusty Knuckles, but really knew him as a banjo master even though he will deny it. He introduced me to his good friend Steve Longan. Talk about a clown and talk about an instant friendship. All three of us had very similar jobs In the Army which is a bond only few can understand.

Goodbye Shore Road Tavern

What a crazy, fun and emotional weekend Ive had with friends in Philadelphia PA. We were at a bar that all of us traveling musicians know, The Shore Road Tavern in Philly. We know it, we love it and if you're like me you can get sucked in here and never want to leave. I'm still here actually. I'm on tour right now but I keep coming back here on this run, using it as a central working point since there's an apartment above the bar that they use for the bands. Plus, it's just hard to leave this time. Last Friday night, March 27th 2015, was the bar's last public show. Very bittersweet. The line-up was Paul Waggener, Joshua Morningstar, Gallows Bound, Saint Christopher and then we did our set to close out the night. It was truly an amazing time. Wait, scratch out the word amazing...let's say "fucking magical". Even that doesn't describe it all that well. The owner, Mike Fiedler, celebrated the last show (which was also his birthday) with a smile on his face all night long. I think everyone in attendance had that smile. You could just feel the positivity in the room. Mike and his crew of misfit friends are the best of the best so you can't help but to smile and be happy while you're here. Their hospitality and loyalty make this place what it is. Couldn't ask for a better group of fans, friends and family.
