Ryegrass Returns to P&G

On December 15th Ryegrass returns to the Pumps & Grinds Coffeehouse in Duvall, WA.  This was the venue for the band's first gig earlier this year, and we are looking forward to coming back and showing how far the band has progressed in the last few months.  See the schedule page for details. 

Ryegrass Welcomes John Burke on Fiddle

After performing through the early summer as a quartet, Ryegrass is pleased to announce that John Burke has joined the group on fiddle.  John is a long-time resident of the Pacific Northwest and is well-known in the area for his work on both banjo and fiddle. 

Rather than embarrass John by listing his extensive resume here, we'll let this picture do the talking, (and hope John doesn't browse this far on the web site...)

Twice the Fun

Following in the footsteps of "single-mic" groups like The Del McCoury Band and John Reischman and the Jaybirds, Ryegrass is going from one stage microphone to two.  Since a fiddle projects most of its sound upwards, unlike other bluegrass instruments, the extra mic will allow us to pick up John's fiddle even when he is not front and center to play a break. 

Ryegrass Newsletter

You'll forgive us if we've concentrated on rehearsals and have let the promised newsletter slide for a while, but we really do plan to get something out.  Really.  Time to practice those delegation skills...
