Went to see The Gibson Brothers perform in Peru NY on Saturday night with David and our friends Tom and Sheila. What a great concert! The Gibson Brothers grew up not far from where I live and Eric Gibson taught English in our school district. Now they are full time musicians and bringing their bluegrass all over the country.
To the left is the art from their latest release. It was inspired by Lyon Mountain - a place famous for iron ore mining and town baseball. You can check them out at http://www.gibsonbrothers.com/
They mentioned that they are performing in Ellenburg on Dec 7 with their sister and in January '09 they perform in Chazy. Catch up with them for a good time.
I was wishing that they had performed at a Dance Hall instead of school auditorium on Saturday night. People need to move to that great music! Too bad Severance's Dance Hall in Harkness, NY is no more. Anyone remember that? I've been to some wonderful contra dances at the Ausable Valley Grange Hall in Keeseville - I can't do contra dance because of my dizziness but I go when I can to hear the music and watch the joy on the face of those who dance. That Grange Hall would not be big enough to host the Gibson Brothers audience but it's a wonderful space. Roy Hurd will perform there on Sunday, Dec. 7 - there will be a silent auction and bake sale too! Doors open at 1:30 pm - concert is 2 pm till 5 pm. $8 admission - kids under 12 admitted free.
