Big Smith & Blue Mountain play three shows together, this Thursday-Saturday, April 17-19

 

We’re so very pleased that we get to play three shows with Blue Mountain, starting this Thursday.
 We're in St.
 Louis; Lawrence, Kansas;
and Columbia, Missouri.
 Have you not heard of Blue Mountain? Well, they can easily be given credit for co-founding the whole alternative-country movement, alongside their contemporaries in Uncle Tupelo.
 If Blue Mountain was before your time, you may be familiar with the songwriting and guitar-slinging of Cary Hudson.
 After three splendid solo albums, he has reunited with the original Blue Mountain lineup of bassist Laurie Stirrat (twin sister of Wilco’s bassist John Stirrat, ex-Healthy White Baby) and drummer Frank Coutch.
 Blue Mountain will be going first each night, so don't dilly-dally! We expect Cary to jam with Big Smith at a couple points during the night, so good rockin’ guaranteed.

This is a big one for us, as Wakarusa is developing into the largest music festival in the Midwest. There will be some names there you’ll recognize, like Emmylou Harris, the Flaming Lips, the Avett Brothers, Leftover Salmon and many, many more. Our festival showcase will be at in the Revival Tent at 1:30 pm on Thursday, June 5. If you’re so fortunate to be hanging out in the VIP tent, we’ll also be performing acoustic there on Wednesday the 4th. Here is the festival’s website.
