MagnoliaFest

Magnoliafest is just a couple of days away and soon we will jump in
the car, dodge those crazy Atlanta drivers and head south to this cool
festival by the Suwanee River in Florida. When we return we will be
laden down with soggy clothes and lots of good pictures for you

Pictures, Pictures, Pictures

We have lots of new pictures on the site for you from Blues legends
BB King and Jeff Beck to Altan and our huge Merlefest section. 
There will be more coming soon too with picture albums from shows by 
Ricky Skaggs and the Chieftains and pictures from Harvestfest 2003. 

I have also added some pictures from last years amazing Music
Midtown event in Atlanta GA. Some of them are far from traditional
But so many people have asked to see them I decided to start putting 
them on the site. It is all music and some day the best of it will be
the Trad music of tomorrow.

Coming up soon on JigTime

We are still waiting on the new release from the wonderful  
Tim O’Brien and as soon as we get it you will hear all about it. 
Also on our virtual turntable we should have new releases from
Del McCoury and Solas  and although that would be a very interesting
collaboration they are sadly separate albums. 

Audio and Maybe even Video

Our Audio page will soon be up and running with some radio reports
and other goodies for you to sample. Stay patient and all will be
revealed.

That’s it for now folks.
