It’s our own holiday party, with all the right people there. Come and be a part! Below is an update regarding the show.

=================

I’m excited to announce that guitarist Benji Shanks (Blackberry Smoke, Kristian Bush) is joining the tribute to the late Dustin Scott Warren at Holiday Hootenanny 12! Along with Benji, Gaurav Malhotra, and Matt Williams, those four stellar musicians were part of the core of the incredible group of the 2000’s Captain Soularcat. Also joining in this special mini set are three keyboardists, Spencer Pope, Ryan Murphy (performed with the band at a couple of TDawg’s Back Porch Hootenannies), & Jamie Kudiats (Brandyhouse days, recorded on first album). This is truly going to be an amazing, emotional musical homage to a wonderful human being.

We will also be featuring a double drum kit/percussion arrangement featuring Darren Stanley, Richie Jones, Mark Raudabaugh, Gaurav Malhotra & Joe Craven throughout the evening, and especially during the tribute to Count M’Butu and Yonrico Scott!

Schedule

7 – 8 PM: The Ain’t Sisters

8:20 – 9:40 PM: Jim Lauderdale (Bluegrass/Electric) > Count M’Butu-Yonrico Scott Drums/Percussion

10:05 – 11:40 PM: Scott Warren Tribute > Rev. Jeff Mosier & Friends

=================

Enjoy this jam from 2012 that starts out with Count M’Butu (joined by Eric Gant) singing Willie Nelson’s classic “You Are Always On My Mind” into the Mosier Bros performing “Black-headed Woman”, joined by Yonrico Scott, Oteil Burbridge, Jeff Sipe, Jimmy Hall, Mark Van Allen, Rurik Nunan, Jeff Mosier, Johnny Mosier, Larry Keel. Wow! You will enjoy this sort of magic on December 17!

There is some great energy building up around Holiday Hootenanny 12! I have a permanent addition to the show to announce. This will be the third year in a row that we’ve done a drums/percussion session dedicated to our late drumming maestros, Count M’Butu & Yonrico Scott. This will be a fixture from here on out. You WILL feel their presence.

Another addition to Holiday Hootenanny unique to this year will be a segment dedicated to the memory of our good friend musician/songwriter/vocalist Scott Warren, who passed away in early October after battling cancer. He and his band, Captain Soularcat, rocked the Southeast and the country for a few years. The lineup featured annual Holiday Hootenanny participants Gaurav Malhotra & Matt Williams, as well as Benji Shanks (Blackberry Smoke, Christian Bush) We miss him dearly and feel his presence. Please see below for a video of Higher Mound, a defining song by the band, produced by Jeff Mosier. Great stuff!

Y’all Holiday Hootenanny 12 is going to be off the chains. PLEASE share the poster and encourage your friends and folks who’ve never attended to come on!
