Aaaaaaaand we’re back! We just spent four days at this amazing festival recording as early as 1pm, and often as late as 4 or 5am. We have a lot of editing to do to cut these into sessions, cut the sessions into tracks, well… you get the idea. Here is a run down of what we will be bringing you just as soon as we get all the editing done:
Our normal format for main-stage acts is to have them play 3 or 4 songs for us, and in between the songs we do quick interviews. For campground sessions we record Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings at Camp Goodtimes. Often there will be main-stage acts out at Camp Goodtimes too. When we are out there at Goodtimes we just record full sets with no interviews. We mic the stage and the crowd stays nice and quiet, so these sessions turn out great.
Railroad Earth: 3 songs with interview
James McMurtry: James wanted to just do an interview, so we talked politics for about 8 minutes. No live session for this one.
The Blue Hit: Full acoustic set, about half an hour, no interview.
New Country Rehab: 4 songs with interview
Greensky Bluegrass: 4 songs with interview
Milk Drive: Full acoustic set, a little longer than half an hour, no interview.
Country Willie: 2 full acoustic sets. 1 with a whole band, and 1 with just a drummer backing him.
Ryan McGillicuddy: 2 full acoustic sets. 1 louder, one softer.
Danny Malone: Full acoustic set.
Hendrickz McLeod: Full set, over half an hour.
The Bluegrass Outfit: Full acoustic set, anywhere from 8 to 12 musicians all jamming onstage at once. Intense and lovely.
Goodfield: Full set. Not sure how long.
Squinto!: Full acoustic set
Wood & Wire: Full acoustic set
Sam Baker, Carrie Elkin & Raina Rose: Sam, Carrie & Raina all stopped by at the same time, each did a song, then Carrie closed it out with an extra song.
Pine Leaf Boys: They got tied up at the festival and didn’t have time to come by. Sorry, folks!
We’ll get this music out to you as quickly as possible. We just wanted to touch base and let you know what’s coming, and what’s coming is a whole heck of a lot of great acoustic music!
It’s always a blast to go camping at Old Settler’s, do a bunch of recording, swim in Onion Creek, and come back with armloads of great music for y’all. It’ll always be free, and you can download it or just stream it, whatever works for you! Please tell your friends about our little blog. It’s a labor of love, we aren’t in it for the money, we just want to share this wonderful music with everyone… The best thing you can do for us is tell your friends, get the word out, and keep listening to acoustic music!
