On Sunday, Nov 20th, 2011, Tortoise & Hair performed at Two Hawk Hammock’s 2nd Annual Fall Festival in Williston, FL. The event was a tremendous success featuring live music, acrobatics, world dance, games, relay races, trail rides, tours, food, and more! Directly adjacent to other well known destinations, Devil’s Den and Cedar Lakes, Two Hawk Hammock is a treasure of North-Central Florida.

Weekend Recap and other news

acdc0504 — Wed, 08 Jun 2011 15:39:10 +0000

T&H has had some interesting adventures of late. This past Friday we performed at the 1st annual Greensong festival in Murrayville, GA. This festival was about using music to inspire and motivate people to get serious about eco-responsibilty. The festival had a no trash policy; everything attendees brought or used, they took with them when they left. The event also commerated the 81st birthday of Grandmother Elspeth, the “Crone on the Road.” We shared the stage with Flute player and craftsman Mark Wagenschnur, and with the the remarkable singer-songwriter Andrew McKnight.

Saturday we returned to the Hungry Ear Coffeehouse, sharing the night with the fabulous duo Out of the Rain. This group features Ron Hipp on Guitar, Banjo, and vocals, and Carol Statella on Viola, Guitar, and Vocals. They sounded wonderful, as always. (Carol Statella can also be heard on the T&H album Front row Seat.)

In other news, T&H’s music was recently accepted to be played on several radio programs including:

Week Recap……

Tortoise & Hair has just returned from our first trip to Nashville. There we played some music, reunited with old friends, and made some great new ones.

We pulled in Sunday evening and immediately checked out our old friends Imer Santiago and John Westeberry performing at the Nasville Jazz Workshop. Imer co-leads a superb Latin Jazz group entitled El Movimiento. Sunday, however, was a mix of latin, straight ahead, modern, and traditional jazz. The guys sounded great and kept the audience on the edges of their seats for the entire show.

Monday we performed some original music at Hotel Indigo Songwriters Night hosted by Ashley Norton, which was the main reason for the trip. There we shared the stage with other very talented local and regional artists.

Wednesday we took our songs to W.A Bass Middle School, performing for the 6th grade band class. The kids were great and asked really good questions. One wanted to know why we’d say “I need a quiet place to shed my skin” in the song Argus, which really open the door to extract the meaning of the song.

We also heard many great musicians play at the Grand Ol Opry (including Sam Bush! :)), visited Gruhn’s Guitars, and hung out with a very cool up-and-coming song writer named Parke Cottrell. Not a bad trip all told, but we’re glad to be back. We could never leave D’Vine Wine Bar and some of our other favorite venues for too long.

Weekend Recap 2/11-2/12

acdc0504 — Sat, 19 Feb 2011 03:01:05 +0000

Last weekend was action packed and fun-filled. On Friday, 2/11, Tortoise & Hair found themselves back at Cafe 45 South in Norcross GA, one of their favorite venues. They encountered many familiar faces including the great guitarist and singer Bob Bakert who jammed on a couple of tunes.

Saturday afternoon, T&H serenaded the Canton Chocolate Walk in Canton, GA. Though the air was a tad cold, they put on layers, plugged in heaters, and a good time was had by all. Local KSU student and aspiring photographer Zack Godfrey took the pictures you see below. Thanks Zack!

Saturday evening, T&H made their final stop for the week at Stadium Grill in Marietta, GA. This was a new venue for them, but with any luck, it’ll become another frequent hub for T&H tunes. Again, some excellent musicians showed up to listen and to share the stage, including Jennifer Ferren and Eddie Brodeaur of Freeflight, and vocalist Gina Tenore. Many thanks to them, as well as to the many friends and fans who showed up!
