Que Pasa?

Hi! I hope people have been liking the show :)!
Last night we featured Spanish music as our theme, because Mister Ross Tasch gets to go to Madrid for two months! Woot! Lucky duck!

Christy has a French background... so we played a little French bed music :).

Anywho -- this is what we played! Hope you liked it! We'd love to hear suggestions for shows -- or if you know anyone with some folk background that would like to play on our show, let us know!

We had Sunshine.

Ross and Christy decided to play some tunes over Spring Break. Not our normal stuff, we played a pinch of Mission Creek artists that will be gracing us with their presence soon. Also, dabbled with some effects :)

It was also Ross' moms birthday! Woot! Happy Birthday!

Got any ideas for this weeks' show? Hit us up!!

Let's Jam.

This week we kicked it off with some "world" folk,
which transitioned nicely into instrumental folk.
Then we devoted a section to our PA
Kevin Matthews.
It was his last show.
We will miss his wealth of knowledge and comic relief dearly :)

We have no idea what to do for next week.
Celtic themed for St. Patty's?
Let us know what you want to hear.

Can You Smell the Money?

Today is Johnny Cash's birthday, he would have been 78 years old. In memory of that, Meet the Folks decided to dedicate a whole show to the man. One great hour of music. We played live versions, early stuff, and late stuff.
