The Mountaineer Opry House Band Competition was canceled due to snow.  They are trying to reschedule so keep in touch and we’ll keep you posted.  Sorry we missed you!  Hope you’re staying warm and dry.

We’d really like to thank Pete Peters and Campbell Mercer for getting us to play here!  There were so many people!  I heard 14,000!  They were busing people in because there wasn’t enough parking in the place!  There were vendors everywhere!  I saw some really cute bookmarks that fold and clip over your page with [...]

What a blast!  We showcased in the South Florida Bluegrass Association room, and we got our own room on wednesday night!  We played 3 times and the Henhouse Prowlers and the Tina Adair Band played with us!  A radio station interviewed us and filmed part of our show, so that was neat too!  We played [...]

We just got back from the fish and shrimp festival (I had shrimp for lunch, and it was tasty J)! Our cousin Lauren came with us because she LOVES shrimp!  There was a petting zoo-like area, and we got to hold turtles and frogs!  We also touched a sturgeon – they’re kinda slimy!  Lauren loved [...]

Hi everybody!  We got their early and there were competitions in every instrument, and dancing too!  :)  John took 2nd in the guitar competition!  We just competed in the band competition in Loudenville, TN!   Our set was short but spectacular :) and super fun for us!  The crowd was awesome and we had a great [...]

We had a great time at Dixon’s, like we always do!  It was good to see Wayne, Wilma, Dave, Pete, and the Dixon’s again :)  Alaina was very excited to see so many new people, and so were we!  The weather was great!  We really loved playing there :)

We are on our way to our beach vacation!  Woo hoo!  Mom and Dad are hoping to find a hotel along the way but John, Gary, and I are hoping to drive all night long!  Nova was fantastic!  We had these pork tenderloin sandwiches that were great!  We spent most of the time when we [...]

The theater the jamboree was held in was really great!  The food was great!  We had pizza from a local place down the street that was amazing and popcorn from the theater to go with it :) The jamboree itself was a lot of fun!  We really enjoyed ourselves and we hope that everyone listening [...]

Today’s dad’s birthday, but we still won’t tell you how old he is :)  Yesterday we played in North Carolina.  We brought our dog and our cousin James with us.  It was his first bluegrass festival.  The picnic table area we played at was very nice!  The shelters had just been built and we stayed [...]

We alway love this festival because we get to see so many of our family members!  The taco salad was delicious!  My goodness, was it hot, though!  And it rained for a little while, and got even hotter!  But the seating is all covered, and we brought fans so we were good to go!  We [...]
