Last night I enjoyed some very good music at The Chief Crazy Horse Inn. John Graigie and his friends Dan and Leland played during Taco Tuesday. John Graigie is a traveling folk singer, his songs and stories cover the spectrum of human emotion. Some funny, some sad, some bitter and some sweet. With his roots style, Craigie has been gaining a cult following throughout the country. Dan and Leland's ferocious guitar playing, razor-sharp harmonies and sublimely crafted songs have been leaving listeners slack-jawed and eager for more for the past three years. This was one of the best nights of folk music I have heard in a long time. These guys were awesome in their style and the songs they played. Besides me they had a good crowd of folks enjoying the great music. I hope they come back to our town again real soon.

This last weekend was like a Music Festival in my own hometown. Friday Night I enjoyed Mantra playing at The Chief Crazy Horse and Blues Highway playing at Coopers. Then Saturday I went to SYRCL SOLEIL, Celebrating 25 years of South Yuba River Citizens League. Bands played at Pioneer Park from 1:00-7:00pm. including The DeadBeats, Buck Love and the Humperheads, The Power of 12, & The Cheatin’ Buzzies. Everyone was there and I had a great time. After I went to The Chief Crazy Horse and heard The Nevada County Regulators then later I went across the street to Coopers and enjoyed Maka with The Jay Glory Band till late. Then Sunday I went to Coopers for the Blues Jam. It goes from 3:00 till 7:00pm. every Sunday. Afterward I went to The Chief Crazy Horse for the great local Band Mantra again. Then I went to Coopers for the Reggae Music of Joseph Israel and Lafa Taylor in "The Light and Love Tour". They played awesome music from 9:00pm. till late. WOW!!! What a weekend!!
