Valley Grass members and guitar afficioados Leon Schwieg and Darwin Thom have released their long-awaited first recording together, entitled This Old House.
While I haven't yet had the opportunity to buy my own copy of the CD, I was lucky enough to have been given a preview of a few selections from the record last summer at the River Valley Bluegrass Festival. Darwin, Leon and I sat in a car and listened to 3 or 4 cuts.
If that early version is any indication, I’m sure the final product must be well whorth hearing, and I encourage our members to support them by purchasing a copy.
For more informaiton, check out the Band Profiles page, or contact Leon and Darwin directly at http://www.reverbnation.com/darwinthom
Thanks so much to all the bands, volunteers and audience members who helped make this year's concert series such a success! And thank to everyone who attended the jams this year!
