February hopes to be a busy music month!

I am really trying to promote the Stacey Earle and Mark Stuart show here Feb. 16th; so any help getting the word out will be appreciated. I cannot seem to express enough, or get the word out with a wide enough net, how great this show will be, and the opportunity it is, right here in the Mid Ohio Valley. John Hiatt and Lyle Lovett are in the "area" and I will be seeing them in Athens Ohio on the 13th at the University. John Hiatt is a great favorite of mine, and this will be a songwriter type thing, with them trading songs and telling about the songs, etc. Todd Burge is opening for Elizabeth Cook at Stuart's Opera House in Nelsonville on the 21st. The Greens will be involved in the Blues Festival in Marietta Ohio, at the Lafayette Hotel on the 20th. We've got our 4th annual Johnny Cash Bash on Feb. 28th at the 6 Pence Pub in Parkersburg. Local musicians play sets of songs honoring the legacy of Johnny Cash; its a benefit, and there will be door prizes, contests and good fellowship and cheer. Jackie's got a good show at the Court St. Grille in Pomeroy on a MOnday night the 9th of Feb. - check out his website for those details. And several Mountain Stage shows this month; check out their website, too. Stuart's OPera House re-scheduled their music swap (including vinyl records) for Feb. 14th during the afternoon there. That makes for a pretty satisfying month of music, and being optimistic about the rest of the winter weather.
