Loving November!! There's a blowout music marathon at the Mudpuddle Shop today and tomorrow, 15 acts over the weekend. Then Wednesday is a special Mudpuddle Concert with the return of "Adler & Hearn" from Texas. Next weekend is three days of touring bliss in the Sierra Nevada along HWY 49 w/ songwriter Juliet Gobert in Auburn, Grass Valley, & Placerville. Then heading solo down the central California coast to Buellton, Carpinteria, & San Luis Obispo. A myriad of beautiful places with a gaggle of wonderful people. Also on tap is a "St. Nicks of Niles" McNevin & Friends variety show to benefit Fremont's "Giving Hope Program". And Let's NOT forget the Friday after Thanksgiving -- 5th Annual Niles Tree Lighting Parade & MudPuddle Concert - RSVP for those sidewalk chairs ASAP!
So, this weekend is some Muddy Mayhem, a "Music Fest In A Box". Listeners and musicians are swinging by the Mudpuddle Shop Nov 9th (4-10pm) & Nov 10th (2-10pm) for a live music marathon. The Mudpuddle Shop is 15x15 feet of fun, with plenty of room for random surprise cameos. If you are a musician, you're welcome to sit in - it's a party! Listeners are especially encouraged to crash it anytime too, sliding donations, no RSVP required.
See you down the road and in the mud.
