It’s hard to say whether or not “true” bluegrassers will come to Headliners to hear Ralph Stanley and the Clinch Mountain Boys, but it’s certain that plenty WPFK listeners will buy tickets to see a legend like Stanley, who is getting on in years, as they say. In any case, Dr. Ralph and his band will be there on April 8; tickets will set you back $25.
Somehow, this item almost slipped past, but it’s not too late to announce it: there will be a weekend-long Rudyard Kipling Alumni Reunion Benefit today (Friday), beginning at 7 p.m., featuring Good Sunday, Alan Rhody, Jim Honeyman Band, Tyrone Cotton, The Jaywalkers and again on Saturday, beginning at 6:30 p.m., with Kessler’s Friends, John Gage, The Biblehauser Brothers, The Guernsey Brothers, Relic. On Sunday, starting at 4 p.m., it’ll be the Olde Timey Strings Band, Harry and Jack, plus Harry Bickel’s Hootenanny for all [bluegrass] pickers and singers.
The publicists working for the Louisville Science Center are doing triple and quadruple duty plugging the “Guitar: The Instrument That Rocked the World” exhibit. There have been features in the C-J, on various TV shows, on this blog (here, here and here), in Louisville Music News and now in LEO. Peter Berkowitz does the honors.
Peter Berkowitz has a nice interview with John Cowan, who is appearing with his band at Uncle Slayton’s on Saturday.
Bluegrass veterans and IBMA Award winners Dailey & Vincent will be at the the Cracker Barrel Old Country Store at 2701 Crittenden Dr, Louisville 40209 on January 28, from noon to 1 p.m. They’re promoting their new CD, The Gospel Side of Dailey & Vincent, which is their first-ever all-gospel record. They’ll be talking to fans and signing autographs (and selling a few CDs, too, no doubt.) Don’t be late. The duo will play a show at the Paul W. Ogle Center at IUS later that evening.
Here’s all the news about the 6th Annual “Itchin’ To Pick” 2011 at the Galt House on March 9-10.
