On the road with Ffynnon

June 2005


This week is a road trip with a band from Wales called Ffynnon. It will be a 9-hour drive for two of us, getting there in time to load-in and hopefully run the music a little. So much for the glamourous entertainment business. I think a lot of those 9-hours will be listening to their music, since we haven't played most of the music with them before.

Last night I met with two fiddle players that also front their own bands, which actually is kind of unusual. We are planning a fiddle show in NYC in August, that will be a mixture of funky-jazz fiddle, world-jazz and celtic fiddle. It was nice to sit down with people who have their own groups going on, and I'm getting excited about the show.
