Summer!
Somehow, after a snowy winter and what seemed like 2 months of rain, summer showed up in Maine in late August. It was perfect timing for Maine Fiddle Camp, which was a great time for all the staff and campers who made the trip to Montville, ME.
If you’ve never been, I highly recommend it. The staff are fantastic (biased perhaps), the food is delicious, and the music and friends are the best. Workshops are available for fiddle, guitar, cello, mandolin, banjo, whistle, piano, bass, and accordion. The staff are mostly from around the great state of Maine, with instructors from Quebec (Guy Bouchard, Eric Favreau, and Laura Sadowsky) and places elsewhere.
Its been quite awhile since I’ve posted here. 2009 has been great fun. Rumblestrip played at the Down East Country Dance Festival in Topsham, ME, and NEFFA, along with our usual Dances in New England that we love to play for.
Rumblestrip is continuing to work on our album, and we’re looking forward to some dance weekends this winter in some warmer places. Check out the schedule page for more info.
