Busker Days: Nick Stillman "Cumberland Gap"

How you all doin' ? Here's some fine fiddle work by one Nick Stillman. I came across Nick a couple times last month at Montgomery Bart. I had to stop and listen each time. Turns out he plays fiddle with AxeL EepH, a trio playing in the SF Bluegrass & Old-Time Festival, coming just around the corner in February. But for now, let's give a listen to Nick playing Cumberland Gap.

Some of you might recall a previous post featuring Emily Bonn on the banjo. Well, she'll be playing with her Vivants at the same festival venue and night as AxeL EepH, on February 14: http://www.sfbluegrass.org/11fest/show.17.html

See you there!

Busker Days: Emily Bonn, "Big Apple"

You know, if you are in need of an upside to your living or working in a big city, the fact that you can regularly see and hear great music incidental to your daily journey should suffice. Listen to this weeks busker edition and you will understand. Here we have Emily Bonn on banjo (yes, banjo two posts in a row!) and Anna Levitt on fiddle playing the Bonn composition Big Apple. They were down in Montgomery Station recently honing their talent in preparation for a northwest mini-tour, and they had my ear instantly. Hope your tour went well!

Here is Emily's myspace page.
