  • Bluegrass Today
    That Was Then – Springfield Exit David Morris | February 18, 2015 | 2 Comments One of my biggest gripes as a lover of bluegrass music is to hear terrific picking and singing on a CD only to hear that the band in question can’t replicate that sound – or even come close – on the stage. Such bands would do themselves – and their fans – a great service by listening to Springfield Exit’s exquisite CD, That Was Then, and following its lead. There are no triple fiddles, no over- the-top production, no all-star pickers standing in for the band’s regular members. Just top-notch musicianship and sublime harmonies across the board. Of course, Springfield Exit isn’t just any band. The marriage of three former members of the Johnson Mountain Boys and two from the much-loved Virginia band, Appalachian Trail, makes for some great listening. Each instrument is played with authority, but that shouldn’t come as a surprise from a unit that features a three-time IBMA banjo player of the year (Tom Adams), four-time bass player of the year (Marshall Wilborn) and a guy who masters just about anything with strings (David McLaughlin). And don’t overlook some fine rhythm guitar work from David Lay. But the real highlight here is the singing, especially the lead vocals of Linda Lay. She doesn’t have the following of those who are regularly nominated for awards, but she certainly has the chops. She sings with comfort and authority across a range of musical styles, sliding from tender ballad to growling blues with ease.

  • CTBA Elects New Officers a Sneak Peek at 2016 Farmers Branch Fest
    Volume 38, No. 2 © Central Texas Bluegrass Association February, 2016 CTBA Elects New Officers t the monthly board meeting on January 10, the CTBA board of directors met to discuss A business for 2016 and elect new officers, and if the new officers seem vaguely familiar, hey, you’re not imagining things. The office of president remains in the capable hands of Jamie Stubblefield. Jason Pratt returns as vice president (as I’ve pointed out before, his job is to wel- come visiting foreign dignitaries, and to take a bullet in case crazed banjo pickers attempt to assassinate the CTBA president). Alice Moore returns as secretary, and Lenny Nichols is taking over as treasurer from the departing Katherine Isgren. Mike Hurlbut will replace Lenny as membership chair. Most of the rest of the meeting was devoted to preliminary discussion of goals for 2016. No firm plans were laid yet, but it’s a pretty safe bet that we’ll have a 2016 RayFest this spring, a 2016 Band Scramble this summer, and a 2016 annual meeting next fall. Some discussion was devoted to the fact that the band scramble appears to already be outgrowing the Threadgill’s North venue, and we talked about possibly moving it to a larger space. We also talked briefly about maintaining contacts with Burnt Orange Bluegrass, the University of Texas bluegrass club. As for what other projects we might undertake this year, well, that’s still undecided, but stay tuned to your sizzling, crackling, crystal radio set. A Sneak Peek at 2016 Farmers Branch Fest he Earls of Leicester, Rhonda Vincent, Tim O’Brien, David Grisman, the Gibson T Brothers, the Travelin’ McCourys, the Band of Ruhks (just what is a ruhk, you ask? Beats me), Sister Sadie, Gold Heart.
