The day Hope For A Golden Summer came to our Kitchen, I wasn’t here due to a prior commitment. I was more than a little bit sad to miss these ladies and gent. After managing to hear them over the dull roar at a Green Bean show with Our Horse Jethro earlier in the summer, I was hooked. Hooked enough to buy a cd right there on the spot. It is important to add that their cd, Ariadne Thread, is probably one of the most beautiful cd’s you will ever add to your collection. Not just the music, which you can tell now that you’ve seen the videos, is blissful, soulful, sultry and even perhaps a bit mystical, but the case and the inside pages have all been painstakingly handmade and printed. They spent some time on this one, folks, and it shows.
Claire and Page are sisters, of course, and you start to wonder how some families get all the looks, charm, talent AND personality. Suny, who is a newer addition to the band, seems quiet and thoughtful and plays so amazingly and gently beside them, it’s hard to believe they didn’t all three grow up playing together. Luckily I caught them at Studio B the same night with Des Ark and Drakkar Sauna and it was a wonderful thing. People sat on the floor throughout their show and I don’t think a soul minded. We left there feeling more relaxed than we had in months.
So, in case you missed it, here are some photos of these fine folks. And yes, Claire is one of those magical saw players. Good, good, stuff.

“The Junior League Band is an old-time inspired rock band fronted by the Georgia grown banjo, vocalist, Lissy Rosemont. Based out of Washington, DC, this nationally touring band has been compared to “Alison Krauss and the Band” by the Washington Post, and touts Levon Helm’s own horn players on their catchy single “South Carolina Blues.” [...]

Here’s part 2. It’s been a few weeks since part 1. Molly McGinn and Molly Miller after completing their first album “North, South” with Kasey Horton and produced by Jim Avett, are now beginning the process of recording their second album with 3 time grammy award winner Steven Heller and Laurelyn Dossett at Echo Mountain [...]
Around a year ago, Molly McGinn ventured into our kitchen with a small outfit she hustled together from local musicians which she fondly called her “Buster Dillys.”
Over the course of the following 15 months or so she encountered Molly Miller and together with Kasey Horton they formed Amelia’s Mechanics, very quickly releasing their first album, [...]
