Friends,
As you make your plans for the coming Labor Day weekend, if you are anywhere near Johnstown, Pennsylvania, I urge you to consider the Johnstown FolkFest. I make this recommendation not only because we are playing on Sunday evening, September 3 at 6:30 pm, but also because I think that the FolkFest is one of the best free music festivals in the nation, and I want more people to know about it.
Rebecca and I got to hear the great Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings at the FolkFest last year, and also had a ball listening to the Red Elvises. (I also recall eating some righteous crab cakes.) This year's lineup, in addition to me and the Billy Price Band, includes Sleepy LaBeef, Terrance Simien and the Zydeco Experience, Bonerama, Maia Sharp, the Lee Boys, Joe Grushecky & the Houserockers, the Eric Tessmer Band, the Gamble Brothers Band, and the Gospel Lights.
I also want to let you know that we will be releasing a new compilation CD on Bonedog Records of two recordings from the Billy Price and the Keystone Rhythm Band catalog: Live (recorded at the Wax Museum in Washington, DC in 1984) and Free at Last from 1988, which has been out of print for a couple of years now. Both recordings in their entirety will now be available on a single CD. Watch for another email from me when this new CD is available for sale in a few weeks. And if you don't have East End Avenue yet, what are you waiting for?
Finally, a note to Virginians out there on the list: We're playing at the 30th annual High on the Hog pig roast on October 7 in Richmond, and then later the same night, we will be at J.M. Randalls in Williamsburg, VA. For more upcoming dates, please see our schedule page, where our schedule is always up to date.
Soulfully yours,
Billy Price
