This year’s plans were thrown off the rails but we’re rolling again and set to play August 31st at the Tumbleweed Festival in Richland, WA. In addition to our BRTC set we’ll be playing Kathy’s song Rolling River at the Jane Titland Memorial Songwriting Contest finalist show. We’ll be helping to kick off the Inland Northwest Bluegrass Music Association season of showcases on October 5th, and we’ll be at Spokane’s Fall Folk Festival on the weekend of November 9th/10th. See Show Dates tab for details and updates. For now, how about a song for summer? It’s another of ours that doesn’t fit neatly into a modern folk box but a favorite among some friends. Listen for free to “At the Dairy Queen”, by Bill… https://blueribbonteacompany.bandcamp.com/track/at-the-dairy-queen
