March Low Down
The snow has almost completely melted…I can still see it clinging to the highest mountains around Asheville, but I think we might actually be done with winter weather. As we move into March we have a whole bundle of exciting little things to share, and so we wanted to pop in and say hey.
We’ve been working on a live album for those of you that have worn out the EP and ‘Tellico.’ We recorded our Down Home show from back in February and will also be recording at the end of the month at a great new venue in Staunton, VA, called the Mockingbird. Our producer and engineer for the project is Russell Anders, a talented soundman, engineer, and wonderful friend who also engineered and mixed ‘Tellico’. With some luck, look for the disk to be available sometime in May! We are taking suggestions for any album title except “Dehlia Low-Live,” submit your requests on our Dehlia Low Facebook Fan Page. What? You’re not a fan yet? Well by all means, join us! http://www.facebook.com/pages/manage/#!/pages/Dehlia-Low/25031814598. This is a great clearinghouse for thoughts and ideas relating to all things Dehlia Low.
We are excited to be making our first appearance in my home state of Virginia on March 26th and 27th. (Technically every venue we’ve played in Bristol has been on the Tennessee side of State Street, so this is truly the first time we’ll crack our cases open there.) First stop: my hometown, Blacksburg, on Friday the 26th. We’ll be at the Palisades Restaurant (www.thepalisadesrestaurant.com) in Eggleston, adjacent to an extremely beautiful stretch of the New River. We have all my friends and family on publicity so we’re hoping that our first appearance in the New River Valley will be a blast. Then off to Staunton’s historic downtown and the newly opened roots music venue and restaurant the Mockingbird www.mockingbird123.com on Saturday the 27th. From what we gather, this is THE place to hear music in the Charlottesville area and are really looking forward to playing there, seeing old friends and making new ones
Lastly, our dear friend Hippie Jack has finished editing a video of our performance at his wonderful festival Jammin’ at Hippie Jack’s last year (www.myhippiejack.com). The video will release in May and is be part of his syndicated series that will distributed to PBS affiliates nationwide. If you want to see this show, get in touch with your local PBS station and be sure that they carry his show Jammin’ at Hippie Jack’s! If they don’t, please request it (instructions are at: www.myhippiejack.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1306&Itemid=662)!
We’ll be in touch again soon to keep you up to date with exciting Dehlia Low happenings leading up to MERLEFEST 2010!!! In the meantime, stay in touch!
Anya and DL
