We are all saddened to learn of Bob Bragdon’s Robert Bragdon passing. Just a few weeks ago we were performing Angel Band together at Bill’s Pickin’ Parlor. Bob always played and sang beautifully and had forgotten more songs than we’ll ever know. Gonna miss you a lot friend!

Weevils Ridin’ high at Bill’s!

We didn't plan the overalls but there are only so many perfect outfits for Bill's Music Shop & Pickin' Parlor!

Playing 3 fiddles together was kinda magical! Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing

The Weevil Empire joined by Rob Jordan on guitar.

The Weevil Empire is gradually getting back into the performing world. Playing at the Friday night open stage at Bill’s has been fun!

Where it all began 7 years ago: playing with Creekside Grass, Charlie and Billie Taylor at Shirley’s Home Cooking.

Remember when people could sit in a room together and listen to musicians?

The real reason Megan and Harry are leaving....

Artist Blue Sky courts a bored flapper. Happy New Year Y’all!

The best kind of Christmas party!

Can anyone explain the seeming paradox of why singing the blues makes us feel better?

That's the back of my head--singing with Val and Annalee!

Are you craving a weekend of knee-to-knee, heart-to-heart singing? Does hanging out with Ginny Hawker, Val Mindel and Emily Miller for a few days sound like a good time?

Augusta is putting on its first (of many, hopefully!) Winter Singing Getaway. Check-in Friday, Feb 21 at 3pm and sing until Sunday, Feb 23 at 5pm.

Workshop schedule will include lessons in West Virginia songs, harmony singing basics, advanced duet and trio singing, country duets, country lead singing and Primitive Baptist singing. There will also be opportunities to sign up for 15-minute private lesson slots. Lots of jamming opportunities in beautiful Graceland Inn all weekend.

Tuition: $165

Folks coming from out of town can reserve rooms in the Graceland Inn itself, next door in the Conference Center or elsewhere in town. Call Graceland at 304-637-1600 and say you are with Augusta to get a special rate for the weekend.

W.E. loves Bennett and Coolidge!

Palmetto Chamber Orchestra is thrilled to collaborate with our guest artists Steve Bennett and Tom Coolidge at the annual holiday concert "Columbia Celebrates!" Holiday Concert on December 15, 3 pm at the Richland Library Main- a concert you do not want to miss!

Steve Bennett and Tom Coolidge play folk music, sort of, or maybe they play Americana music … if anyone can really figure out what that is. They both write songs, some are funny, some are serious and some are both. But they also play other people’s songs too … some you may have heard some you may not have heard. Steve plays guitar and mandolin and Tom plays guitar and harmonica … they both sing … in harmony sometimes. Both of these guys have been at this for a while having played individually and in a number of acoustic bands over the years. They enjoy making music, really enjoy playing together and really, really enjoy playing for folks who like music that is not run-of-the-mill, music that may be familiar, but you may not have heard in a while, music that other folks don’t play, but some they do.
