Saturday, September 13th Troll Music
It isn’t often that you get the opportunity to showcase your music and I thank the Billy and the wonderful people at Troll music. I get two hours to “do my thing” as my Mom would say. I will be joined by David Brain on Dobro and Doug Conroy from the local band “Passerine”. It is always a joy to play music with this guy. This show gets started at 7:30 pm and tickets can be bought at Troll. Either at the store or online. For further information go to trollmusic.com or call 941-484-8765

November 1st & 2nd 49th Annual Fall Country Jamboree
Barberville is a treasure. It is a settlement of restored buildings, some dating back to the late 1800’s, all placed together to resemble an early pioneer settlement. Some of these buildings are amazing. There is a Post Office, Print Shop, Firehouse complete with its own Engine. Here in this community is a Schoolhouse that was in use up until the early 1970’s, a fully functional Blacksmith’s shop, Cabins, Train Station Depot and a Church that is still in use. This is a must see Pioneer Settlement. So for two days this places comes alive with people, food and music of ALL kinds on several stages. So if you’re in the neighborhood or just want to spend the day with the family this is worth the trip. For further information go to pioneersettlement.org
