Last month was the first month I missed putting out a newsletter
since I started back in February of 2012.
I have been moving and remodeling and I suppose that is an excuse, but
it really isn't. Just having too much fun carpentering and too tired by the end of the day, I guess. At any rate, I am
back in the saddle with Music News You Can Use.
First up is to tell you about the 2016 Kate Wolf Music
festival, which was amazing as usual. (And no, it was not too hot.) The line-up was phenomenal
and I did not see all the acts - with four stages going, that was
impossible.
Saw the Brothers Comatose for the first time.
I had heard about them for years and they are a stand out; good songs,
great arrangements, blazing musicianship and a lot of fun. Enjoy this and put them on
your must-see list.
Put Las Cafeteras on it also; exuberant show, infectious grooves
and inspiring lyrics. And also, John Craigie a quintessential
solo singer songwriter story teller. I
am so impressed by someone who can hold an audience all by themselves. Like this. And finally, I got to see Linda Tillery in
person. Wonderful !!
Folks I had seen before, who deserve your attention
include: The Wood Brothers,
absolutely unique, finely crafted music;
Ruthie Foster, gorgeous voice, such charm and authenticity; and Chris Smither, master
song smither indeed.
Right here in Santa Rosa
And please SAVE THE DATE !! I am very excited to tell you that Susan
Reeves is coming up from Santa Barbara, and Berkeley
More shows on my website, of course: www.royzat.com
So what is up on your side of the fence?
