Tonight, Monday, August 3rd @ 8 PM--We're (Hot Club of Cowtown) so looking forward to being back at the Ark in Ann Arbor tonight. This show is dedicated to my Mom, Susan Hammerton, an Ann Arbor resident for more than 30 years who never missed any of our Ann Arbor shows. Tonight will be a regular Hot Club of Cowtown show, but with my Mom highlighted in her beautiful spirit, and also a thank you to all those who have stepped in to help and support me and her memory and wishes since she passed almost two years ago. And that includes so many of you who may be seeing this but can't make it. I'm also updating the gofundme today so if you'd like more information on what's been happening (or not happening) lately with her case and her dog, Isabelle, I'll share that later this afternoon. Link to show in first comment.

She was a cool and very pretty lady
Hmm. Maybe I can make the trek down there.
Starting shows at the Evergreen Jazz Festival tonight--we have two shows a day in all different venues.....gorgeous and piney here with the Colorado sunshine pouring down--a lot like my violin's hometown in the mountains of Mittenwald, Germany! I hope it feels at home, as I do....... 🎻

I certainly wish I could be there, but I wish you the best performance ever. Be safe and have a nice evening. Sid Man
Thanks especially for the fabulous set on the patio.
Jealous!!
About to play, teach and talk about "Ida Red" in a zoom session with a collection of fiddlers in the super-cool "Drunken Fiddles" program, the genius brainchild of Laurel Morgan Parks. Just watching--again--probably my favorite version of all time. It's as mind-blowing as ever. Especially Joe Holley's fiddle solo!....enjoy!

Do you know the BRILLIANT podcast The History of Rock Music in 500 Songs by Andrew Hickey? His second episode was on Ida Red and it is well worth the time to listen. open.spotify.com/episode/5fmFtnCspg3m9Les8cFVoo?si=pn7snjN-R36UqWC5v4V1PA&utm_source=copy-link
NOBODY does Ida Red like you, Whit, and Jake! I can hear your opening fiddle lick in my head right now!
Wow! That was a great version. Yours is right there with it !
