The New CD is Here - The New CD is Here!!!  See the details below.      

11/11/07   Whoooeee! Trying to catch up on things since our 3 day festival at the 3rd Annual Laurie Blue Bluegrass Festival on Prince Edward Island!!  I want to say for the whole band; THANK YOU FOLKS!!  We had an absolutely wonderful time!  The folks up there in the Maritimes have to be some of the nicest folks your ever going to come across. They're a tremendously appreciative audience who love their Bluegrass and know how to show it!  We caught up with some old friends and certainly made a whole bunch of new friends as well.  We'd like to give a special shout out to Guy Cormier, Shirley Jay, Darlene MacWilliams and Serge Bernard for making our stay so memorable. Thanks again everybody!!   Looking forward to our show in Rhode Island at Homestead Gardens on November 16th.  This will be our last show til December 15th when we gear up for a Christmas show at Bobs Grass Roots Coffeehouse.  See our Schedule page for more info on both these shows.   BVBB CD INFO:  We received our Limited Edition CD just in time for PEI and we will be finishing up the artwork for the full production run.....  Stay tuned for more info and how you can purchase our CD titled:  "DEBUT"     10/20/07   Holy Smokes, we did it....  We have finally finished the CD!  This has been a great time and experience for all of us..... We had some really great studio time;  just  the four of us  tossing out ideas, watching songs evolve and discovering new things.  I've recorded a song or two before but this was my first time recording a full CD.  Whew!  It's been a great learning experience .....for all of us!     CD's will be available in just a few short weeks!  We'll send out a message when they're here. We'll have a limited edition CD available for sale at our PEI show!!    See..... we have to go to a different country before we release a CD!!!   Anyway....   We really have had a busy fall season with all of the recording and some fantastic Gigs thrown in too!  We're looking forward to a busy Winter season, so please check the Schedule page for all of our gigs. We're already seeing a pretty heavy schedule for 2008 too!!!   An especially cool show coming up is a nice 3 day indoor Bluegrass Festival in Prince Edward Island, Canada. November 2-4.  Click here for info: 3rd Annual Laurie Blue Bluegrass Festival This is going to be fun!!!  Hope to see some of you there!   BVBB NEWS 7/19/07 IMPORTANT UPDATE:  We have just received word that due to some financial difficulties, we have been dropped from the PERKINSTOCK BLUEGRASS FESTIVAL in Maine.  The festival will continue but they have been forced to reduce the performer list with mostly Maine bands with a couple headliners.  We do apologize and are disappointed that we will not be able to be a part of the show.  We had a radio spot planned as well as a Festival opening party!! Bummer!!   Sorry folks!  djn   BVBB NEWS 7/2/07 We'll be taking a little time off for our family vacations in July - though you may see a few of us here and there.  Dave will hook up with his old buddy Roger Williams and Amy Gallatin, Bob with Ray Legere at Osipee BG Festival, Ken with Erica Brown and Dan and Bob with Tallgrass.  Check out the links for more info.   But look for us in August with a busy schedule as we play 3 days at the Perkinstock Bluegrass Festival in ME and then play at Sunshine Farms ins Sherborn, MA.  We're still in the studio working on that CD and hope to have it when you all get to see us next. Fingers crossed.  Have A Happy 4th Of July!!   BVBB NEWS 6/16/07 Thank you everyone for making our appearance at the Amazing Things Arts Center such a wonderful time.  You were all such a great audience!!  If some folks reading this have never been there, its a small room which gets the audience nice and close to the band.  It really creates a warm and intimate atmosphere.  Kinda reminds me of the "Old Vienna Coffeehouse" in Westboro, which is now closed, but used to bring in many big name folk, acoustic and bluegrass acts.  You would be just a couple feet away from them and feel like you were right on stage!  We just want to say that the whole band had a GREAT time and I know you folks did too!! We really enjoyed getting to speak with many of you that evening and look forward to returning next year. Thanks Mike for already booking us!! Thanks again everyone!  djn   BVBB NEWS 4/1/07 UPDATES: As promised there are a bunch of new gigs posted on the Show Schedule page . We are still working on finalizing a few others too!!  I posted a few pics on the Picture page from the Joe Val 2007 festival and I'm working on getting a video posted too. We're also still hard at work to get our CD out.....slow but sure progress is being made.   Also - we're playing once a month at "Mill Street Brews" in Southbridge, MA.  On the last Thursday of the month we come out and host Bluegrass night.  We're not sure exactly what's going to happen on any given night and you never know who may show up to pick with the band. COOL!! Perhaps a special guest or 2 - maybe a band - who knows. Come on out to see what happens!  Next show is April 26th.   BVBB NEWS 3/13/07   Stay tuned for a hot new schedule page update!! We are working on a monthly bluegrass show and are putting the final touches on 2 festivals and 2 other shows at some very neat venues.  Soon as all the i's are dotted and t's are crossed we'll post the shows!!  Meanwhile come see Ken and Dan play with Chuck and Mudd for a fun St. Patrick's Day Irish night at the Blue Plate in Holden, Ma. on Saturday March 17th.   See our schedule page for details.  djn   BVBB NEWS 2/19/07                                                    Wow……..  I mean WOW!  Thank you everyone for making our appearance at the Joe Val Bluegrass Festival such a wonderful experience for us!
