Wepecket Whisperings
Published sporadically when there's news. Volume 1, No. 4; June,

New release:
Jim McGrath's latest CD, "Last of the Romantics," is now available online here. He is ably accompanied by the very versatile Jim Bennett on guitar, mandolin and banjo. Other contributors are Kent Kreutler (piano), Don Barry (bass), Rochelle Vaillancourt (fiddle), Alec Redfearn (accordion) and a lusty chorus of gentlemen, several of whom prefer to remain anonymous.
On the road
again:
Sherman Lee Dillon & the Dillonaires, Andru Bemis, Andy Cohen, Jim McGrath and Dale Robin Goodman all have busy summer schedules. We've updated our tour dates page to make it easier to find information about where and when artists are performing.
We'll be announcing dates for our Sept. short-version "Rolling Roots Revue"
soon. Appearances in
We're also working on an Eastern Seaboard tour for next spring. If you have any thoughts about where we might stop along the I-95 corridor in late April, Early May 2011, drop us a note.
On the home
front:
A team of high-powered Wepecket executives (Jim Bennett, Don Barry & I)
has been working on a make-over of the web site. We've added information, music
clips, videos and a photo album in addition to the aforementioned snazzy new
tour dates page. Give us a click or two and tell us what you think.
Coming
attractions:
Work has begun on "Pick a Peck of Piedmont Pickers," with
selections from a wide range of modern masters of this delightful style of finger-picking.
Among the contributors to this project are Andy
Cohen, Mike Higgins, Russ Mello, Rick Palieri &
Gareth Hedges, and Lauren Sheehan.
In September I'm headed west for some A&R work. Looking at some Northwest players of interest. Details when I get back.
