Concert tomorrow. We’re psyched. Come see us.
Some really good press, no thanks to the venue where we’re playing which seems only to promote out of state bands who play bluegrass in stupid hats: Leesburg Today Covers the Bitter Liberals
Concert details on the Bitter Liberals Website.
A supremely great photograph by amy.

The Bitter Liberals were back in the studio recording yesterday. We recorded my song Sacrificial Lambs exactly one year to the day after the Newtown children’s massacre.

It was a night filled with music on Monday. Where’s Aubrey, the Bitter Liberals, All Natural Fibers, Hot Club Millwood, and even Gently let Down by Catherine were all in the house. Enhanced with banjo, beautiful voices, and broken bongos. Dueling basses was probably the most interesting phenomenon.
Between numbers.
It was Chip!

We recently hosted a bevy of Clarke County friends and neighbors at Coal Stove Sink for an interview and book signing with local sustainable agriculture farmer and author Forrest Pritchard. Forrest and I spent a few minutes chatting about aspects of the book Gaining Ground, his life farming, and the big picture—making a living while farming in America.
Special thanks to Jack McGraw for filming, editing, and making this piece coherent. And thanks to all of our friends and neighbors who created a warm and welcoming community for Forrest’s debut as an author. Forrest, we’re proud of what you do and what you’re doing.
