You know we like to play music with friends in France, Europe, and USA as well. We are working on a new show with Marion (voice, harmonica, dobro, lap steel) and Jean-Paul (voice, mandolin, guitar) from the Lonesome Day band of Brittany. Acoustic country, bluegrass, folk, new songs and covers, that we love to play together.
We will play a couple of gigs together each year.

We played a few days ago at the Café de l'Epoque in Rouen (Normandy). A very friendly night in this magic place that fights to keep french music and blues alive.

We are working hard on the recording of our new songs, and here are some pics.

Benoit Perset just recorded the drums on 10 of the 12 titles that will be on the cd. Jean-Luc is done with the bass takes with his new Precision ! Mary played the guitar on 3 songs. Stephane joined thursday to begin his takes  of piano and organ. 4 songs in the day, not bad. But we have to send all the tracks to Pete Winter, in the Talahassee Winterstone Studio , for the mix and the mastering at the beginning of aplril ... Well, let's not panic, we got to speed slowly !

A last minute guest, Dominique Adelin, Mary's fiddle teacher, is gonna play fiddle on one song...
