listen now children a story I’ll tell …

You all know I love a good songwriter’s round. So last summer when I first met Diana Jones and heard her original songs in the Appalachian style, I knew I had one for the round. As a long-time fan of Alice Gerrard’s work, I also knew she would complete the circle.

The three of us will be taking this short concert series on the road, cutting through the winter’s dismal gray like a bunch of red birds, singing songs and sharing stories. I look forward to seeing what comes of this.

Hope to see you all there. Meantime, you can visit redbirdround.com for more information.

It’s been a few years and a few records since Abigail Seymour took this picture for Polecat Creek. And this Sunday, Kari and I both have two new solo albums to sing about this year in addition to the new Polecat record, Ordinary Seasons.

Listen for tunes off Kari’s new record and a new compilation from me.

Hope to see you Sunday in park.

And, if you’re anywhere near a radio Friday night, listen to Kari on WUNC’s Back Porch Music.

Sunday May 31, 3:30 - 5:00
with Polecat Creek
Center City Park, Greensboro, NC
