Lone Star Fest, Richardson, March 13-14

or the last several years, usually in late February or early March, Alan Tompkins and the F Bluegrass Heritage Foundation have held an indoor “Bluegrass Heritage Festival” at South Oaks Baptist Church in Arlington, an event that has brought some great touring acts to the Metroplex and furnished a welcome respite to late-winter cabin fever. These are the same folks who bring us the wonderful “Bloomin’ Bluegrass” festival in Farmers Branch each October. Kicking off the spring festival season in Arlington, I’ve seen Kati Penn and Newtown, Balsam Range, Chris Jones and the Night Drivers, Honi Deaton, Joe Mullins, Blue Highway, Special C, Junior Sisk, the Gibson Brothers and others in the past.

Well, this year Alan and the Heritage folks have expanded the lineup, changed its name and its focus somewhat, and moved the location. The Lone Star Fest (not to be confused with the Lone Star Bluegrass Festival which the CTBA sponsored in Hallettsville last July) will take place Friday and Saturday, March 13-14 at the DoubleTree Hotel (1981 N. Central Expressway) in Richardson, northeast of Dallas. The lineup will include the Boxcars, Marty Raybon and Full Circle, Suzy Bogguss, Gold Heart, and a couple of Texas bluegrass gospel bands (the Herrins and In Achordance), along with Pearl stalwarts the Dueling Hearts. From this lineup, it looks as though the musical focus will be a three-way mix of bluegrass, country, and bluegrass gospel, and if you’ve been to the Farmers Branch festival, you’ll already be familiar with some of these acts. Reserved seating ranges from $44 to $63.50.

Alan cautions that seating at the hotel is only about 50% of the capacity of the former location at South Oaks Church, so he urges getting a ticket online early (these are two-day passes). Most of the seating is reserved, but there is general admission seating at the back of the ballroom. There is also a special festival rate of $89/night at the hotel. Jamming will be allowed in the lobby Friday night and all day Saturday, and the first floor has been reserved as a jamming floor for folks who want to jam in their hotel room. I believe there are plans for an instrument checkroom as well. There is also a hotel restaurant, the Connected Cactus, and unlike the culi- nary terrain in Arlington, many more restaurant options nearby. The DoubleTree is on the west side of Highway 75, at Campbell Road, just over 4 miles northeast of IH-635. Check the web site at www.LoneStarFest.com

This late winter festival, sponsored in Arlington by Alan Tompkins and the Blue- grass Heritage Foundation for the last several years, is the forerunner to the upcoming and newly expanded festival in Richardson. Newtown has an engaging mix of bluegrass and classic country.

The Boxcars The Boxcars (Adam Steffey, mandolin; Ron Stewart, banjo and fiddle; Keith Garrett, guitar; Harold Nixon, upright bass; and John Bowman, fiddle) have won IBMA Emerging Artist of the Year in 2011, and Instrumental Group of the Year in 2011, 2012, and 2013. Adam Steffey prac- tically owns the Mandolin Player of the Year award, having won it each year in 2002-2006, 2008, and 2010-2014. Only Jesse Brock and Sam Bush have managed to capture it in single years. Ron Stewart tied Kristin Benson for Banjo Player of the Year, and won Fiddler of the Year in 2000, so these guys probably have the instrumental aspect of their music figured out by now. They’ve previously worked as band members with Alison Krauss, J. D. Crowe, Mountain Heart, and Blue Moon Rising, and that ought to be worth some street cred, too.

In June, 2014, John Bowman left the band and was replaced by dobro picker Gary Hultman, an East Tennessee State University music major from Minnesota. The Boxcars have released three CDs and have a fourth one on the way this spring that will also feature Hultman.

3 Marty Raybon and Full Circle

After a productive career as a member of the country chart-riding band Shenandoah, Alabama native Marty Raybon has gotten back into bluegrass the past few years (although he’s also recently rejoined a revamped Shenandoah), releasing The Grass I Grew Up On in 2006. That album included Ashby Frank on mandolin and Andy Hall on dobro. His latest release (The Back Forty, 2013, Rural Rhythm 1111) has a sizable cast that includes Zach Rambo on mandolin, Daniel Grindstaff on banjo, Tim Crouch on fiddle, Tim Raybon on vocals, and John Bradley on bass – but there are other supporting musicians as well, like Scott Napier on mandolin, and it’s impossible to guess from web sites just how many pickers or who will appear at the festival in Richardson.

It’s a safe bet that he’ll recycle many of his Shenandoah hits, like The Church on Cumberland Road, or Ghost in This House (a hit for Alison Krauss, too) or Sun- day in the South. What kind of instrumentation will be used, and how grassy the results will be, I can’t guess. You’ll have to show up to find out, I reck- on. As for these guys to the right, outstand- ing in their field? You can’t find out who they are by going to Marty Raybon’s web site, I can tell you that.

Suzy Bogguss

Like Marty Raybon, Suzy Bogguss has had a productive career in commercial country music. The last time I saw her perform, she was chiefly doing jazz and swing. In Richardson, I expect she’ll use the same sort of sparse accompaniment she used on a recent Woodsongs appearance with Chris Scruggs (steel, mandolin) and Charlie Chadwick (bass). Maybe she’ll bring guitarist Pat Bergeson (Alison’s ex), too. In any case, we can expect to hear plenty of material from her 2014 release, Lucky, a Merle Haggard tribute album that includes standards like Silver Wings, Sing Me Back Home and If We Make It Through December. And if we make it through the north Dallas traffic, I hope she does Let’s Chase Each Other Around the Room.

If you’ve been to the Farmer’s Branch festival, you may have seen Gold Heart, featuring the Gold sisters (Tori, Jocelyn, and Shelby) from Virginia, IBMA showcasers in 2009. The Herrins (guitar, mandolin and banjo, with Alan Tompkins on bass) are a bluegrass gospel band from Fort Worth. In Achordance is another bluegrass gospel band from the Corpus Christi area, with similar instrumentation, winners of the Heritage Foundation’s “Battle of the Bands.”

4 New CTBA Officers

t the January board meeting, the newly constituted CTBA board of directors met for the A first time and elected officers for the coming term. They are:

Jamie Stubblefield, president Katherine Isgren, treasurer Jason Pratt, vice president Alice Moore, secretary

Chuck Middleton continues to serve as membership poohbah, and Jeff White as webmaster. We should be glad these folks are willing to serve (without pay!), and they all have important jobs. The president takes the blame for everything that goes wrong. The vice president wears a dark suit and attends the funerals of foreign dignitaries. The treasurer manages the vast CTBA slush fund. And the secretary records the transgressions and digressions of the other board members.

Meet a New CTBA Board Member: Lenny Nichols by Bob Vestal

e met Katherine Isgren last month, one of three new CTBA board members, and Jason W Pratt in January. This month, let’s meet the third new board member, Lenny Nichols.

Where were you born and reared? I was born in Galveston, Texas – BOI (Born On the Island), as they say. I grew up in Hitchcock, Texas, on the Galveston County mainland. Went to Santa Fe High School in what was then called Alta Loma, Texas (it's now Santa Fe).

When/why did you come to Austin? I graduated from HS on a Friday in 1970. The following Sunday afternoon, I came to Austin to attend the UT summer semester. After my college expe- rience, I moved back to Alta Loma in 1973, and then League City in Galveston County. In 1974 I went to work for IBM in Houston and transferred with them back to Austin in 1982.

Married? Kids? I played in a band with Marcia Ball while I was at UT. I met Kathy, her college roommate, through the band. We've been married for 43 years and have three grown kids. The two older ones live here in Austin. The younger one lives near Boulder, Colorado. We have three grandsons in Austin, and two granddaughters in Colorado.

Tell us a bit about what you do for a living. I worked for IBM for 39 years. I started out servic- ing office equipment – mostly typewriters and word processors. After moving back to Austin, I did software support and product development, and eventually retired as a project manager in Client Care. I always worked in service related areas.

What instrument(s) do you play and for how long? I play bass. I started on bass guitar when I was 13 in 1965. It was like one of those old Mickey Rooney, Judy Garland movies. Several of the guys in my neighborhood said, “Let's start a band.” We each picked an instrument, and I

5 picked bass. We called ourselves Yesterday's Future. We learned popular songs of the day and started out playing neighborhood dance parties. We progressed to HS dances in the Galveston and South Houston area and put out a 45 record. One summer we opened a hamburger and soda fountain shop and played there every Friday and Saturday night. We got a gig at the Allen's Landing area in downtown Houston on weekend nights. It was one of the “hip” Houston areas of the late 1960s.

I stopped playing for a few years after college. After moving back to Austin, a friend invited me to a party. They knew I played bass and they told me I had to bring my instrument, as there would be musicians jamming. When I got there, I think the only person I knew was Marcia Ball and the person that invited me. The other musicians were all wonderful players. I met Sarah Elizabeth Campbell, Walter Hyatt, Champ Hood, most of the Austin Lounge Lizards, Howard Kalish and many others. I had such a great time, I decided I had to get back to playing music again. We went to the Waterloo Ice House on 38th Street many Saturday nights to hear Walter and Champ. That's where I first really heard someone (Roland Denny) playing upright bass. The sound was so nice, that I knew I had to get one and learn to play it. That was probably in the late 1980s. I also play a little bit of guitar, but I don't call myself a guitar player.

Any other musicians in your family? None when I was growing up. My son played bass guitar for a while and his wife led a band. She currently teaches music to very young children through the “Tunebugz, Music Together” program. I'm currently taking classical bass lessons with my oldest grandson. His brother is learning drums. My two granddaughters each play piano. One is also playing clarinet, and the other is playing guitar.

Who are your favorite artists/musicians? As a bass player, I have to start with bassists Edgar Meyer and Gary Karr. Bluegrass or country bassists I like are Barry Bales, Todd Phillips, Mark Fain, Jon Weisberger, Eric Thorin, Junior Huskey and Roy Huskey, Jr. What I'm listening to at the moment seems to determine my favorite bands or artists. I've recently been enjoying the Earls of Leicester, the Gibson Brothers, Dry Branch Fire Squad, and Kate Rusby.

Has bluegrass always been your focus? No. I started out playing popular songs from the late '60s – Beatles, Stones, the Who, Steve Miller Band – whatever was popular for HS dance music. Then I got into rock and blues. I was fortunate to have played blues with some of the last WWII era Texas Jump Blues artists. I played every Friday night at the Continental Club for about 10 years in the 1980s and 1990's with Erbie Bowser, T.D. Bell and the Blues Specialists. We released a CD that was voted the best Austin Blues album of 1992 and nominated for a W.C. Handy award as best traditional blues album of 1993. The CD was popular in Europe and

6 we played a blues festival in Utrecht, Netherlands. We also played on the NPR show “American Routes,” recorded at Wolf Trap Farms in Virginia.

I didn't get familiar with bluegrass until sometime in the last 8-10 years. I met Alice Moore and Duane Calvin through church and we started playing together. At about the same time, a backpacking friend insisted that we go to the High Mountain Hay Fever Bluegrass Festival in Westcliffe, Colorado, on our way to backpacking. I had a great time and decided to learn more about bluegrass music and started going to jams. I found that bluegrass people are pretty great everywhere I went. I like the people associated with bluegrass music as much as the music it- self.

With your work responsibilities, what do you do to stay in shape, musically? How do you prac- tice/jam, etc.? I was blessed to be able to retire when I was laid off from IBM after 39 years. Otherwise, I would probably still be employed. I've enjoyed retirement and it gives me more time to work on my music, go to the gym and goof off around the house. I'm currently between bands, but I've been doing a fair amount of fill-in work when local bands' bass players have been unavailable. It's been a crash course in learning bluegrass songs. I'll get a list of 30-60 songs to learn fairly quickly and then play one or two gigs. I try to get all of the songs onto my iPod. I listen in the car and work on them in my music room. I'll get the basics of each song, and make notes on intros, outros, and rests or anything unusual in each song. I find that if I can get into a song cleanly, I can usually play the rest of it okay.

How/when did you get involved in CTBA? My introduction was through the jams at ArtZ Rib House. I started attending the Saturday intermediate jams to help me learn songs. I went to some Sunday jams at ArtZ, then at Scholz Garten, and now Hill's Cafe. I don't get out to these jams as often as I would like. I played for a while with Mike Hurlbut, Duane Calvin and Alice Moore who are (or were) on the CTBA Board. I heard more about CTBA from them. I also found that the annual band scramble was a lot of fun.
