Tony, thanks for the notice about the Kannapolis show. I'm just up the road from you in Concord, and I will plan to check it out on Saturday. I tried the link in you post, but theres no schedule there. Do you know if there is a schedule available listing players, times, etc.?

No, I d not know, but I am sure we will hear from the guys soon. Generally the format is players arrive, set-up, sign up..and play..

Last time they had the McCoy Brother band, fine Band and fine guys too..many players jammed with the Band instead of tracks..it worked out real well.

It's great time..very informal, very relaxed..

Thanks for asking.

I am updating the website with details as they are firmed. Here is a tentative schedule. Players who want to perform with tracks or with the band are assigned on a first come/first served basis. But we always make sure everyone who wants to play gets a chance.
