CTBA Band to share spotlight with Byron Berline Byron Berline at the Cactus Café Saturday, July 28th, 8:30 After a huge success last year Byron Berline is back. Byron Berline performed with the Sieker Band at Artz Ribhouse and the place was packed to the last seat. It was an amazing concert and a great Austin welcome for Byron. Byron Berline is one of the most influential fiddle play- ers. He played for almost everybody in the business, was a Bluegrass Boy in Bill Monroe’s band and a mem- ber of Country Gazette with Alan Munde. He was nominated for two Grammy's. With his band “The Byron Berline Band” he frequently has taken his music to Europe. Rolf Sieker and Byron Berline have been friends for a long time. They played together in Europe many times touring Germany, Netherlands and Switzerland. They also performed together at the Bluegrass Festival in Winfield, Kansas. This year, Byron Berline, along with The Sieker Band, will be at the Cactus Café. There will be a $10 cover charge. For discounts please email [email protected].

The uniting theme of the 14 songs on the disc is that each is a duet with another top notch banjo player To be safe, Trischka begins with the standard “Farewell Blues” and plays second banjo to Earl Scruggs. The format that is followed on this cut, and most of the tunes, is to have the two start off together, often with Tony playing harmony to the sec- ond banjo. Each player then plays a solo. Tony usually embellishes a bit beyond the first solo. Fiddle, mandolin, guitar and dobro solos are interspersed throughout most cuts. Some of the tunes were recorded with the players all together in the same session. Others, such as “Doggy Salt” (the chord progression of “Salty Dog” played in reverse), were created by Trischka recording his part and letting the second player, in this case, Scott Vestal, overdub his part. Vestal ends up adding a harmony banjo on this one. Tom Adams twins on a nice take of “Fox On The Run” and Bill Emerson demonstrates why he is known as having impecca- ble timing on his composition, “Old Cane Pole.” Most of the pieces will be easy to grasp by the average bluegrass fan. The two that stand out as “on the fringe” would be the two tunes with Beta Fleck. These tunes include multiple sections of intri- cate doubling and tempo and meter changes. The tune receiving the most attention off the CD is a song that comedian Steve Martin wrote, called “The Crow.” It has a fairly simple, catchy melody. Martin States the theme followed by Trischka and Fleck twinning before they each take a solo and throw it back to Martin to restate the opening theme. The three have played the piece on the daytime show, Ellen and nighttime’s David Letterman Show. While the double banjo concept is sure to thrill hardcore 5-stringers, the average bluegrass should find much to like about this CD as well. —Eddie Collins— (Eddie is a noted instructor and performer of Bluegrass in the Central Texas area) 2 PRESS RELEASE 3733 Kenora Drive, Spring Valley, Ca 9197 7 800-845-7791 Website: www.Deeringbanjos.com For more information contact: Carolina Bridges, Director of Public Relations; email: Caro- [email protected] For Immediate Release California Dreaming….Deering Banjo Style!
