Hit & Run formed in late 2001 with the mutual desire to play “authentic yet modern” bluegrass. They quickly launched themselves as a successful touring act out of Colorado, gracing stages of prestigious festivals and venues in 36 states and Canada and eventually migrating to Nashville in 2007 with two studio albums under their belts. Since 2002, Hit & Run has shared stages with the likes of Jimmy Martin, Hot Rize, Rhonda Vincent, Jerry Douglas, Sam Bush, Del McCoury, David Grisman, Ricky Skaggs, Creedence Clearwater Revisited, G.

    Volume 38, No. 7 © Central Texas Bluegrass Association July 2016 Sunday, July 3: Band Scramble and Garage Sale at Threadgill’s s in previous years, our annual band scramble and musical garage sale will take place at A Threadgill’s North location (6416 North Lamar, Austin) from 2-6 PM on Sunday. We test the boundaries of musical chaos while you watch. Here’s the schedule: 2:00 - 4:30: Buy new/used music-related items (instruments, CDs, DVDs, strings, books, etc.). 3:00: Up to six new, on-the-spot bands are formed from bluegrass/old-time pickers with stage experi- ence who sign up ahead of time. 4:00 - 6:00 Bands perform their tunes. Last year we had a total of 51 pickers in seven dif- ferent bands and raised over $2400. The garage sale portion of the event will be where the buffet is usu- ally set up. We’ll have CDs, T-shirts, magazines, instructional materials, maybe even some instru- ments for sale, and if you want to renew your mem- bership or join the CTBA for the first time, there’ll be some board members at the tables to help you. Last year we had some late arrivals who wanted to sign up even after some of the bands had started practicing. This year, it will help if everyone who wants to scramble can sign up by 3 PM so Eddie can get the bands properly sorted out. Mikaela, Derek, and Logan Pausewang, this year’s CTBA Jim Wiederhold participates in last year’s scholarship winners, will perform a few tunes for us band scramble.

  • GRASS CLIPPINGS Volume 18 Issue 2 June 2013/July 2013
    DESERT BLUEGRASS ASSOCIATION GRASS CLIPPINGS Volume 18 Issue 2 June 2013/July 2013 Editor’s Note: The following article is reprinted with permission from Desert Leaf Magazine (Vol. 27, No. 4, Apr. 2013, pp 41-43.). The article was written by Karen Smith, a local freelance writer. BLUEGRASS IN THE DESERT by Karen Smith When you think about Tucson, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? Believe it or not, for lots of people the answer is bluegrass music! Like our gorgeous sunsets and stately saguaros, bluegrass is a major part of the personality of southern Arizona. How bluegrass became so popular in Tucson is a mystery today. From the oldest bluegrass songs and melodies, we know that early English, Scottish and Irish settlers brought their instruments to America and played the tunes of their native countries. Banjos, fiddles and mandolins were part of their immigration journey. In some cases, washtubs and washboards, and even spoons became part of their sound. The term “bluegrass” specifically refers to the genre of music that evolved from this immigrant music and was championed in the 1940s by American musician Bill Monroe (1911-1996) and his band, Bill Monroe and the Blue Grass Boys, named for Monroe’s home state of Kentucky. In a bluegrass band, traditionally one or more instruments carry the melody, and then each of the instruments, individually, takes a turn playing the melody, with improvisations. These are called breakdowns, and the best of them feature musicians playing faster than water drops dancing on a hot griddle. The breakdown portions of bluegrass songs encourage musicians to develop speed and improvisational skills.

  • Donna Hughes Award-Winning Singer-Songwriter Producer and Multi-Instrumentalist
    Donna Hughes Award-Winning Singer-Songwriter Producer and Multi-Instrumentalist Award-winning Singer-Songwriter Donna Hughes has written over 500 songs during her impressive career. She has albums produced by Tony Rice (Gaining Wisdom) and J.D. Crowe (Hellos, Goodbyes & Butterflies) both on the Rounder Records label. Her songs have been recorded by numerous artists throughout the years including “My Poor Old Heart” recorded by Alison Krauss & Union Station and performed during the CMA Awards Show in 2005. Numerous other artists have recorded Donna’s original songs such as: The Seldom Scene, (“Sad Old Train” from the album Scenechronized), Kati Penn, (“Never Gonna Change” from the album My Turn To Cry), Nu Blu (“Nights” from their album Nights), Darren Beachley (“Scattered To The Wind” from his album I Love You To The Moon & Back), and The Snyder Family Band (“Little Bluebird” from their Comin’ On Strong album). “Whatever moves me, moves me to write,” she explains. For Hughes, songwriting is an all- consuming endeavor, encompassing all that goes on around her. “My songs are always about something I have seen, done, or felt – or something that I saw someone else do or go through. There is always truth to every song I write, even if it isn’t my truth.” In 2014, Donna embarked on her biggest endeavor yet by producing and releasing not one, but two new albums in 2014. From the Heart is her bluegrass album and includes 19 original songs plus two cover songs. The album includes the talents of Scott Vestal (Banjo), Tim Stafford (Lead Guitar), Rob Ickes (Reso Guitar), Jenee Fleenor (Fiddle), Cory Piatt (Fiddle), Zak McLamb (Bass) and Lucas White (Rhythm Guitar).
