Uncle Earl, the all-female stringband that evolved over the past five years into a musical phenomon, has released a wonderful new video:

I first met the band in Nashville, before they signed with Rounder Records. It is wonderful to see how their music has spread to a much larger stage and they recently completed a European tour – playing to sold out audiences nearly every night! We hope to see them in our area this year.

Caroline Doctorow will be my guest this Sunday on WFDU-FM’s TRADITIONS. Caroline will be opening for THE DAVE ROWE TRIO at the Hurdy Gurdy Folk Music Club’s February 2nd concert at the Fair Lawn Community Center. Get your tickets soon!
