Well the holiday season is upon us again! Wow, how time get's away from us. As is usually the case, we have slowed down for the winter. We have a few shows left this year, including tonight in Madison, TN at Pope's Place. Showtime is 8pm. We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving break. It's always nice to get together with friends and family and remind ourselves that we have so much to be

Hey everybody, We are looking forward to this weekend and the coming week. Saturday the 25th we will be in Rock Island, TN at the Rocky River Bluegrass festival. We are looking forward to that. Troy Engle will be back with us on the banjo for these 2 shows. We love playing with Troy and we appreciate him filling in with us on this date. The week of September 27th, we will spend part of the week

Sometimes things come together to create the perfect environment for a great time. Such was the case this past Sunday in Birmingham, AL at the historic Sloss Furnace. It was the annual fundraiser for the Foundry Mission & Recovery Center. It was, however, the first ever Blazin' Bluegrass festival at Sloss Furnace. Blazin' was an appropriate name for the day because it was HOT. Since this was

Hello everybody. After some time off, we got cranked back up last Sunday in Winchester, TN at the Riva Lake Baptist Church. We had a great time! We don't get to play close to home very much and this was a treat for us to do. In fact, it was a double treat. Because not only were we close to home, but we were at a church. We don't get to play churches much these days and we really do enjoy doing

Hello everybody! I have some exciting news to share with you all. Our album has debuted at #14 on the Cashbox Magazine monthly Bluegrass chart! We are very excited and want to thank all of you who have purchased the album and requested "If I Ever Get Home" on the radio. Exciting things are starting to happen! We would also like to announce that we have started working with Melissa Lawrence. She

Hello and Happy July 4th to everyone! I hope everyone has a good Independence Day. I also hope you take the time to reflect on what this country was founded on. These days it seems like our country's leaders have forgotten about what our founders had in mind when they established our independence. It seems as if more and more of our freedoms are taken away from us as time passes. We need to

Hey folks! I'm sorry for the belated update on our Arkansas trip. When we got to Waldron, much to our chagrin, we had no cell phone or internet service. You should have seen us walking around the campground for 2 days trying to catch a signal with our phones so that we could make a quick call home. I'm sure it was quiet comical at times. That explains the phone booth that they had right in the

Good afternoon. We are getting close to Waldron. We stopped in Little Rock for a few hours and slept. We also visited Camping World while we were there. We are still on bad roads, so sleep is out of the question at the moment. We are looking forward to playing tonight at the Turkey Track festival. We hope to see everyone out there! Back in a little while... Wayne

Hey everybody. It's 3:15 in the morning as I write this and we are bouncing our way across Arkansas. You folks in Arkansas need to write your Congressman about these roads! We are on our way to Waldron, AR for the Turkey Tracks Bluegrass Festival. We have our good friend Troy Engle along to help us out on the banjo. Weston had some school matters to attend to that prevented him from making the

Hello all. We had a blast Tuesday night in Anderson, AL. We were there for our cd release party. Even though we already had the cd for a week or so, this made it official! We sincerely want to thank everyone who came out and celebrated the long awaited release of this project. We had fun meeting all of you who attended and thanks for making us feel so at home. Friday night, June 11th we will be

Hey Folks, We had the weekend off this past weekend and now it's time to get back in the saddle. Tomorrow night we will be in Anderson, AL for our cd release party at the Fish Creel restaurant. Start time will be 5:30 pm for that show. We would like to see everyone come out and have a good time with us. We will play alot of music off the cd as well as some of your favorite TBSP songs.

Hey folks, Well we are on the road back home. These rides are always bitter-sweet. We all love going and playing music but we also love going home to our families. We had a good time on our trip this weekend. We met a lot of great people. I left off the last post telling you all about us heading to Hollonville, GA. I hadn't much more than put up the computer, when Emory slammed on the brakes. A

Hey folks, We are on the road again somewhere between Chattanooga and Atlanta. When I left off last we had left Belvidere and were headed for Virginia. We only stopped at three truck stops but we did end the night at Walmart in Bristol. The first story comes at Shane's expense. We had been on the road for a couple of hours when he decided to turn in for the night. He climbed in his bunk and

Hey folks!  Well, we just got the bus loaded and are pulling out of Belvedere, TN. Next stop, Coburn, VA. Well, Coburn won't exactly be the next stop. We'll most likely stop at 10 or 12 truck stops and at least one Walmart before we get to Coburn. This week has started out on the right foot in Guntersville, AL where we kicked of the Lakeside Concert Series for the fine folks there in

Hello Friends. Welcome to the Bluegrass Soul Picker's 'official' Blog ... The Guestbook service that we were using decided to go out of business, so we have removed the guestbook from the website and have decided to put up a blog page that we can post news, 'on the road' experiences, and announcements ... and you can post your comments as well. Our latest (exciting) news is the up and coming
