Plus Jerry "Buck" French
If you are from Pittsburg you are likely to know Buck. Buck’s art is laughter. He can hardly contain his art sitting behind that Farm Bureau desk. He has sticky notes and half written dream waking antics shoved in every drawer. “I don’t even know why I thought this would be funny- but at 3am, everything is funny”, as he closes a drawer.
Jerry’s momma inspired him to be quick witted and funny (without a “potty mouth”). Buck announced football games for years and was always asked to MC the rotary and chamber banquets. Mr. Jerry “Buck” French has been interviewed by Joan Hallmark and was in a Super bowl Commercial.
Seeing how much people enjoyed his art drove him to record his newly released CD, “Kill the Hick” recorded at Siesta Ranch Studios. Buck can be seen on stage March 6th at Crossroads Music Company opening for Slightly Tilted. Buck is available to MC or host your event. He is great about breaking the ice to open the bid on Auction items! 903-856-3240.
We will be enjoying a party ourselves! Join us!
Hank Riddle - You either liked him or you cursed him. He is benefitting local songwriters by bringing people together (as usual) to talk about him.
There will be antics, stomach aching laughter and many wonderfully written songs and poems by and for Hank.
Many guest performers expected.
More info to come soon.
Druha Trava is a wonderfully individual band from the Czech Republic that is hard to describe. They perform new acoustic world music with bluegrass influences. You might hear them perform a bluegrass tune, Bob Dylan tune or one by another American or British artist, or one of their many originals. Though they basically use a typical bluegrass complement of instruments, you might see the banjo player also pick up a clarinet or Irish whistle. This along with the versatility of the dobro player helps create much of their unique sound.
The Bluegrass Association of the Czech Republic declared Druha Trava "Group of the Year" in both 2005 and 2006.
