The Caney Creek Gang (CCG) has two gigs next weekend. Friday, July 11, we play Rough River Lodge at 7-7:45pm (Thanks, Brian), then next Saturday, July 12, at the Monroe Homeplace, 6-8pm, CCG will play Pickin’ on the Porch again. The Homeplace is one of my favorite places to play—for obvious reasons. Only hint of […]
I can hardly believe Oct 11, 2025, will be the 5th Annual Run the Ridge. Seems just yesterday I was dreaming of a race on Jerusalem Ridge in 2003. Took almost 20 years to host the first ever race in 2021, but as they say—better late than never! Right?! The simple idea is to raise […]
(12-pounder from Caney Creek, 2022) It’s on! I’m gonna need six or seven gallons of catfish fillets frozen by July 12. That’s when the Caney Creek Gang (CCG) plays Pickin’ on the Porch at The Monroe Homeplace again. If I’m not mistaken, 2025 will mark the 5th summer we’ve played Pickin’ on the Porch. Here’s […]

Rain, rain, go away! Come again another day! Wouldn’t you know it! All this bad weather forced us to postpone tonight’s opening of The Rosine Barn Jamboree’s 33rd season. That means we’ll have to reschedule the Bill Burden Tribute, probably until some time in June. When we have a new date, I’ll share it here […]
I finally took the plunge and traveled to SPBGMA this year. That’s right! Back in February, 2025, I undertook the drive down to Nashville to attend the annual convention of the Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music of America. Kenneth Newell has been after me to go for years now. I’m not sure why […]
The 33rd season of Friday night Bluegrass in Rosine, Ky, is exactly one week away. April 4, 2025 is opening night. I can’t help but wonder if Hoyt and Eleanor Bratcher thought the 1992 Woosley barn project would still be going strong all these years later. We’ll have to ask them, won’t we? Next Friday, […]
