So it makes more sense to reserve a room on Sunday night, right? Gotta call Doubletree--

John Brabant · Post by **John Brabant** » 16 Oct 2015 4:56 pm

Just booked my room for Saturday and Sunday nights at the Doubletree. There is a discount for attendees. The discount code is "PED". Get 'EM before they are gone! $85/ night plus tax with the discount. This is truly an incredible line up. A good turn out will ensure future such shows and lineups. Hoping to see a packed house this year.

Wow, with Buck and Sid and all the rest of the talent that is on the lineup this will be a show to remember.
It's a shame that it is so far from Arizona...
Enjoy a really successful show.

Less than 2 weeks away folks. Many very psyched players and fans. Please make the effort to put together a road trip with some of your buddies if at all possible to attend the wonderful event and support the the P.S.G.A. Stay the night and make a fun weekend of it boys and girls!

Hi there, I have never been to a PSGA show before, are there vendors as well?

Thanks.

There should be a few, as well as the artists selling their CD's and products. Jeff or Bob may have more particulars on who will be there.

Tick, tick, tick. Driving down with my buddy Jim Pitman from Montpelier, VT on Saturday. Room for two more riders. Driving I-91, so can pick NH, MA and CT residents enroute looking for a ride. Just message me.

Hi Everyone,

Sunday is going to be one of the best shows that the PSGA has had in years, so go out of your way to attend and support our efforts, you will be thoroughly entertained.

I am really looking forward to seeing Cindy Cashdollar formerly with Asleep at the Wheel, the great Buck Reid who has been with Lyle Lovett and his Large Band for many years, the great Sid Hudson from Virginia, Mike Sweeney from Nashville and the great Jimbeaux Cohen from the City of Brotherly Love (is it really like that there, Jim?), John DeMaille from Upstate NY, formerly Long Island, Jeff DeMaio and Gunsmoke from nearby Darien Ct, Jack Stanton from South Jersey, and Chuck Campbell.

All this for only $20, the best bargain around.

And not to mention the best backup band in the business including Telecaster great Van Manakas on guitar, Western Caravanmember and native Lubbock Texan, bassist Steve Alcott, Fiddle Great Guy 'Fooch' Fischetti from Woodstock, NY, and 'Million Dollar Quartet' time keeper Dave Sonneborn on drums.

Topping the day off will be a tribute to Buddy Emmons with some of our performers and a great video tribute of Buddy from a past performance at the PSGA.

Don't miss this show, Hope to see everyone there at the Doubletree in Norwalk on Sunday November 8 at 11am.
