Most importantly to note is we’ve got a NEW SET TIME!

It’s a great festival with wonderful music all day long. We hope to see you there!
This week in Goli-land, we’re taking it to Johnny D’s!
The line-up for this night is spectacular. I know we always say the other bands we play with are great (because they are) and this night is no exception!
The night will start off at 8pm with Tall Tall Trees (NYC.) We’ve played with these guys in NYC and they are the most clever banjo-driven folk rock band we’ve ever heard. Think groovy songs about the mortgage companies that broke your heart. It’s old tyme meets post modern times and it is really amazing. You must come out early to check them out.
Goli will hit the stage around 9pm. We’ve got a new song for you (or a new song to our live repertoire) and some favorite Balkan hits (joined by Nate Greenslit on percussion.) We can feel summer in our bones and that makes us kinda a frisky and really excited to share our music with you.
Following Goli, will be Emperor Norton’s Stationary Marching Band! There are a great 14 piece band that will groove you, surprise you, and rock you all while you get your circus on! The last time we played with them, we had such a blast and now we get to do it again!!!

FOR THE LITERATELY MINDED
Val had the pleasure to be interviewed by music writer Bill Copeland for his current article on female bass players. I know what you are thinking, Val doesn’t play bass, she plays the cello… Bill knows this too, but he was so taken with her low-end stylings he had to include her in the article.
You can check out the article in Ctrl Alt Music here.
SPRING HAS SPRUNG!
Vess and Val have both hung their martenitsas with care and look forward to seeing you in your spring best at an upcoming show!
Thanks to all the folks at the New Moon Coffeehouse in Haverhill! It was a blast to be a part of your series and we encourage you all to check out their great roster of performers!
