TIMEFRAME August 19, 2010 to Sept 16, 2010
DESCRIPTION I'm planning a tour of banjo demonstrations and set up workshops at stores, festivals, and small jams. I plan to drive from Frankfurt to Netherlands and Belgium Aug 19-21 then continue south and east across France to Switzerland from the 22nd -25th and then up to Strasbourg for a visit with my in-laws. From the 28th-31st I'm hoping to jam with friends around Milan Italy before performing with an international banjo band at Didmarton Festival in England (the first weekend in September) I will also be at Cornwall Bluegrass Fest, 16-18 September. Although my plans haven't been finalized yet, I may be exploring a bit of Scotland or Scandinavia between these two UK festivals. Let me know if you have any ideas for banjo workshops, demonstrations, jams, store visits, wine tastings, or whatever you might suggest.

Amy Gallatin & Stillwaters (USA) - UK tour!

NAME Amy Gallatin
BANDNAME Amy Gallatin & Stillwaters

TIMEFRAME Sept. 4--Sept. 28
DESCRIPTION Amy Gallatin & Stillwaters with Roger Williams (USA) are seeking bookings for a tour in the UK in September 2010, following their successful tour in Europe this year. The powerhouse duo of Amy Gallatin and renowned resophonic guitarist Roger Williams joined forces a few years ago to explore their mutual love of country standards, served up with an acoustic treatment in the bluegrass vein. The result is a toe-tapping blend of heartfelt vocals, soaring harmonies and red-hot picking, traditional yet modern and distinct. Americana radio host Ed McKeon says: 'Amy's vocals, with the power and tone of her voice, are tempered by Roger's baritone which has been sanded smooth by cigarettes and, shall we say, maturity. The song selections are perfect, the harmonies glorious, the sentiments wonderfully maudlin (like any good old country song).' The two are enhanced by the recent addition of Roger's son J.D., who - in the time-honored tradition of musical consanguinity - complements his father's style perfectly, and by veteran bassist Eric Levinson, formerly with Joe Val and the New England Bluegrass Boys and later with Boston City Limits. Promoters and event organisers should contact Amy Gallatin through her website, by 'phone (+1 860 633-2574), or by e-mail.
