Come see Planet Banjo &/or the Dixie Butterhounds as we open at the Cantab Lounge for the "Second Tuesdays" of 2016. Yes, we're taking a break this summer! But we'll be back in October! The Cantab Lounge is on Mass. Ave, in Central Square, Cambridge, MA (our fair city) and starts around 8PM. Brought to you by Geoff Bartley, guitarist of some reknown!
Here's a clip from the last April show:
The Doc Watson version of Shady Grove that changed my life back in 1971.
Check out my friend Will Fielding's most beautiful banjo, the "North Star".
He's the one who made my "Rooster" banjo. They are both incredible banjos... (this is an unpaid endorsement!). Warning: this is a 1.9 MB PDF file.
