Dear Lovers of Fine Music, I just wanted to let all of the nice folks who will be attending or performing at the NEA Extravaganza that Hillbilly IDOL will be there too. We are playing a set at Robert's Western Wear on Sat. at 10:00pm. Looks like a nice lineup for the evening and doggonit we're happy to be a part of it. The Steam Donkeys start out the night followed by Kristi Rose, Hllbilly IDOL, the Billy Goats, and finishing out the evening is Jim Roll. We will also be doing a set at the EXIT INN on the following Tues. as part of Billy Block's Western Beat Roots Revival. Nice lineup on that evening too. The Felsons from Scotland, ( not all of them actually, the Mavericks rhythm section is filling in for Felsons bass and drums) , Suzy Bogguss and somebody else, who unfortunately, I continue to forget. The house band kicks off the evening in Opry style accompanying a number of cameos by select performers.This is a killer band and is loaded with heavy hitters including pedal steeler Mike Daly (Hank Jr., Gibson Miller, Allison Moore's band, etc.) and Redd Volkart( Telewacker with the Hag ). The Roots Revival show is pretty darn cool and if folks are interested in finding out a bit more about it Billy Block has some nice stuff on the web. Sorry, I don't have the address right in front of me. Billy Block's Western Beat Roots Revival should get you close on a decent search . Ladies and gentlemen, if you have the opportunity to catch either of our sets please introduce yourself. We look forward to meeting and drinking with other distinguished, discriminating, musical aficionados such as yourselves. sincerely, Al Moss (the other)
