Newgrass-y Tallahassee

Lots of music for string lovers this weekend in Tallahassee!

The super fantastic Dread Clampitt plays Saturday night at the American Legion Hall at Lake Ella, Doors open at 7:30 and show starts at 8. Word is they will play two 90 minute sets. Tallahassee dulcimer phenom Aaron o'Rourke will sit in. Woo-hoo! Cover is $10.

On Friday night, string bands Two Foot Level, Me and The Devil, and Stranger Still play for free at the Krew De Gras on Monroe Street in midtown.

Now this isn't newgrass, but a shout out to Tallahassee singer/heckofasongwriter/wonderful person Grant Peeples, whose album Okra and Ecclestiastes, is climbing up the Americana charts. There's an interview with Grant in No Depression. Grant's CD release party happens Friday at the American Legion Hall. Cover is $10.
