2 Late News Flashes
January 31, 2010...The two day Joe Val Showcase Stage schedule is available at : www.bbu.org/jv_schedule.htm We're playing on Saturday, February 13 from 12:15 for a 35 minute set. See you there! Also some sad news. Looks like Cup of the Bay Restaurant in Onset on Cape Cod has closed its doors. They will keep their Wareham operation going but the lazy summer morning brunch with bluegrass in Onset are now history. It was great while it lasted. It was a priviledge playing there for the past few summers.
January 25, 2010... Common Fence point was a blast! A sold out audience all quiet and respectful of the music yet enthusiasticlly appreciative...Makes all the rehearsals worthwhile! Many thanks toTom Perrrotti and Liam and all the volunteers who make the Common Fence Point Music series such a smashing success from year to year! Here's hoping we get an equally enthusiastic reception at Joe Val!
WELCOME to the official Website of A Bluegrass Invitation Band.
If you like bluegrass music, thinking about having bluegrass music for your Massachusetts wedding or party, or your Rhode Island wedding or party...if you are just curious about bluegrass in general, you have arrived at the right place. A Bluegrass Invitation Band welcomes you!
Consider yourself INVITED to the fun. Bluegrass music, takes you back in time with its acoustic sounds rhythms and melodies. It's what true American music sounded like before Country got its electric rhinestones and went Dollywood. It's the kind of music that makes you want to tap your feet or get up and dance. It can make you laugh. It can make you cry.
Bluegrass also has some Gospel thrown in for good measure and if that doesn't make you think, and feel, nothing will! It's lyrics tell about romance and hard living and lost love and the pain and the joy of life ...in otherwords, it tells about you and others like you.
