WE’D LOVE TO PLAY FOR YOU

Posted on February 8, 2011 by yarnspinnerpress

–A special appeal to fans of Marideth Sisco and Blackberry Winter

Now that the movie Winter’s Bone has received four Oscar nominations, fans from literally all over the globe have been writing to ask when and where they can see the band from the movie perform in their area. That’s a wonderful problem to have, but since we’re essentially just a little gang of hillbilly musicians who’ve mostly played in our own area, we have no idea where the clubs, festivals and other venues are outside our area, and no means to contact them.
So we’re asking you to help. If you would like to see us perform in your area and/or if you know of a place we might play, let us know. If you can, please include contact information; venue name, contact person, phone number and/or web site.
Thanks! We look forward to booking an engagement near you!

Listen to Marideth sing Farther Along from the movie soundtrack.

Winter’s Bone- Music from the Motion Picture (via Fervor Coulee- roots music opinion)

Posted on February 2, 2011 by yarnspinnerpress

Winter’s Bone- Music from the Motion Picture  O Brother, Where Art Thou? was released just over ten years ago. The movie- and more so, the soundtrack recording- gave bluegrass music a possibly unprecedented ‘bump’- arguably more than even Bonnie and Clyde and Deliverance did a generation previously. This despite the lack of ‘true’ bluegrass on the album: excepting the Soggy Bottom Boy and Ralph Stanley/Stanley Brothers tracks, most of the music has only a passing resemblance to bluegrass an … Read More
