I'm a big fan of the musical tastes of Georgia promoter T-Dawg. He's putting on the Keel Family Function (named for flat-picking phenom Larry Keel.) It happens April 2-3 at Dawg's Cherokee Farms, which is in Georgia up near Chattanooga, Tennessee. I've heard is a fabulous, intimate farm where strings masters get down. The ridiculously cheap early bird ticket price of  $35 ends tonight, then it goes up to $50.

Here's a look at the lineup:
~ LARRY KEEL & NATURAL BRIDGE ~ DJ LOGIC ~ JOSH PHILLIPS FOLK FESTIVAL ~ COL. BRUCE HAMPTON & THE QUARK ALLIANCE

~ THE MOSIER BROTHERS BAND ~ MICHAEL TOLCHER ~ BOBBY MILLER & THE VIRGINIA DARE DEVILS ~ DONNA HOPKINS w/ JEFF SIPE & CHARLIE WOOTEN ~ THE RAGBIRDS ~ RALPH RODDENBERY & THE SIDE EFFECTS ~ LEFTY WILLIAMS & FRIENDS ~ ZOOGMA ~ GRAYSON CAPPS & GUTHRIE TRAPP ~ POND FARM PICKERS ~ 3RD STONE ~ SUGAR KAYNE ~ SLIM PICKINS ~ DIGITAL BUTTER ~ TREY STEIN
