Dangermuffin: Friday Night Showcase (April 10) at TDawg’s Back Porch Hootenanny

16 Mar

TDawg Presents is excited to welcome the dynamic trio Dangermuffin to the 18th edition of TDawg’s Back Porch Hootenanny!  If you’ve not had a chance to familiarize yourself with them quite yet, this is your chance, and there promises to be a few special sit-ins that might happen along the way through two-set, 3 hour performance!  From Folly Beach, SC just outside of Charleston, their melodic sound represents three musicians bringing you something unique.  Dangermuffin has recently completed a run of shows with bluegrass buddies The Larry Keel Experience and is gearing up for an extremely busy festival season this year!  They  perform Friday night only, and you must have a two-night pass to see them. So plan on coming out Friday, get your campsite up, and hear that set which is just for YOU!

The two videos – “Cicada” and “Little Douglas” – are from a performance at The Pour House in Charleston.

Final Lineup Additions for TDawg’s Back Porch Hootenanny + Schedule!

28 Jan

JasonKenney Tony Brook

TDawg Presents is excited to bring N. GA favorite Jason Kenney onto the lineup for Saturday evening, April 11!  Kenney is a Dahlonega native who has been impressing folks for quite a while now with his songwriting and musicianship, and you know he won’t disappoint in his own back yard!  In addition, please welcome a new band on the scene that features veterans of the circuit for many years calling themselves Blackberry Possum.  Wildman Steve has brought former bandmate Brian Fowler (Bibb City Ramblers) as well as stellar Alabama guitarist Tony Brook into the mix for what promises to be one of those sets that you don’t want to miss!

Here’s a video of Jason Kenney and band in action at the Crimson Moon in Dahlonega.  Enjoy!

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

My wife and I attended the Dangermuffin concert last Saturday night at Eddie’s Attic, witnessing one of the freshest, finest performance in quite a while!  Hard to believe it’s only three fellas up on stage.  Playing in front of a packed house, they created such an amazing groove that had folks standing and boogeyin’ where you’re usually sitting!  I personally can’t wait until their Friday Night Hootenanny Showcase at Starbridge on April 10!  It’s going to be a very special set, mark my words.

Hootenanny time is almost upon us! Artist preview: Secondhand Swagger, Sam French

3 Sep

Wow y’all!  We sure have rounded that corner quickly, and the 17th installment of TDawg’s Back Porch Hootenanny is just about here!  I hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend and that your team won! 😉

Now that we’re into September and just over two weeks out, you can clear your head for a moment and realize that you not only WANT to go to Hootenanny, but you also NEED to go!  The amazing energy that is created at Cherokee Farms – the camaraderie of your friends, camping neighbors and musicians – the spontaneity of the jams – the amazing flow of this tightly wound small festie that releases a giant multi-layered musical explosion – the knowledge that you WILL hear something you’ve not heard before and it will make an impact on your already impeccable musical tastes.  These are all great qualities of what a Hootenanny is at the core, a joyful healing and re-energizing experience for the mind, body and soul.  TICKETS & LODGING INFO

Hootenanny Fall 2014 Handbill front-01

Speaking of soul, check out this southern soulful groove laid down by Secondhand Swagger!  These folks will be rockin’ the infamous “Happy Hour Set” from 5-6:30PM on SAT Sept 20!  And folks, the musical mojo will kickin’ hard that day! 

For those of you who are not familiar with Sam French, well that’s a great reason to show up on Friday night, September 19, at the Hootenanny!  This man is drenched in southern, his style genuine, and his product real.  Ted Norton, guitarist for The Grapes, will be joining Sam’s band that night and also be around all weekend long sitting in as an artist-at-large.  Below is some fine video of Sam and his band performing an original, “Few Regrets”.  Enjoy!

Spread the good word to your friends and family, y’all, as HOOT #17 promises to be as good as advertised!  HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTENANNY!!!
