On the way to the No Dog Jolification outside of Perth Ontario this weekend. A freaky donations only festival run by my brother Geordie and his pals. We'll be doing a mini Hootenanny with some of the folks who played Wolfe Isle with us. Then it's down to the South Shore Festival in Milford on Prince Edward County on Sunday. Summer is winding down and the fall is coming into focus. Big opening show at Kingstons' new venue The Living Room. We'll be there on the 19th with friends from B.C., "E.S.L.". The plans to tour with Krista LL Muir and after that with Shuyler Jansen are both coming togehter nicely. But first we hit NYC in early september to rock it as the Wrongs.
Wolfe Island Hootenanny!! was a blast on Augut 8th at 8:30. Featuring Carolyn Mark, Jenny & Dan Whiteley, Joey & Luther Wright, The Abrams Brothers, Mitch Anderson (singing Stompin' Tom Conners), Chris Brown, Tony Scherr, Anton Fier, The Hank & Lily Show, Greg Stewart, JT Taylor, and other stars of the Canadian roots collective. Alan Neal of the CBC was there recording the event for broadcast on Bandwidth and/or Canada Live sometime this fall. I'm sure out of the 3 & 1/2 hours of the show he got some fine collaborative stuff for his shows. Thanks Alan & the CBC!!
Had a smokin' good time out west at Vancouver Folk Fest and the Little Fest at the Slocan Lodgte with Carolyn and Sarah Harmer and friends. Saw my new favourite band the Wet Secrets from Edmonton. check'em out!

I just found a CBC session from Vancouver 2001 of 'the Wrongs unplugged and had forgot about a song that we used to play called 50 Bucks. Good version if you want to check it out you gotta copy and paste:

The cd releasing has gone well. (reviews: http://www.lutherwright.com/reviews.php ) We had a ripping good home town show at the Grad Club with the new super group of 7. Newest feature is cellist Greg Stewart from San Fran who we scooped up in time for rehearsing and such. The songs translated wonderfully live and we carried on up to Montreal for a show with Ladies of the Canyon at Le Divan Orange. We slimmed down to a 4 piece to play our friends bar in Wakefield on the Saturday but the intensity was there and it got a little more old school country as I couldn't help myself what with the history around that place. Dan and I mixed it up at the Amnesty International Benefit the next day at the National Archive Theatre as part of the Ottawa Opry hosted by Pat Moore and her awesome band, Vinyl Frontier. Many smiles and not a few back slaps later has us off to New York City this weekend where we join up with Megan Palmer, Ben Rubin and Tony Scherr for 3 shows of hard-hitting music and much revelry. Keep your stick on the ice out there in interweb land... |
