The Department of Home Cooking and Security has been notified by the Department of State of Bliss that there is a High Lonesome OooHM Alert…4-20 yoga with and will take effect on 4-20 at 4:20. Please take all necessary precautionary measures to preserve and align your Chakras. Thank You. -DHS
This man and his 1,000 watt smile is who started us on the Bass and Grass journey….back then he called them “Music Swarms” and the same principles still apply - good food, a few fishing adventures, a little mischief making and a whole heck of a lot of good music (memorable swarm moment - Cowboy Jack Clement singing “ (Ghost) Riders in the Sky” ) I can’t help but get nostalgic and a little blue missing my Daddy in the picking circles. But we’re carrying the torch and the music binds us - will the circle be unbroken.
The Department of Home Cooking Security has recently raised the kitchen threat level to “YELLOW” indicating increased risks for cheese grits, hush puppies, squash casseroles and lemon cakes. Please be vigilant and immediately alert kitchen authorities of any suspicious ingredients or oven settings. Thank you. -DHS
This knucklehead right here. Looks like a burly farmer who just plowed the back forty with an antique tractor that he welded together at night after a full day building bridges for the DOT. And he is that guy…..but then he grabs a guitar, picks a blazing D run and belts out a mountain ballad in a voice so sweet and soulful that grown men lamely try to hide their tears. Big Daddy. Big Songs. Big Heart. Big Mellow. Big Love. Big Bass and Bluegrass
Our very own Jay Robinson penned these words to describe Larry Keel’s Electric Larry Land coming to in 15 days! - Larry Keel’s artistic trajectory arcs like a burning meteor across the vast musical landscape of America. The impact is a stunning revolution of creative evolution; music fiercely propelled and shaped by insatiable innovation and collaborations. The fossil record of Larry’s journey is layered with the bones of diverse genres: from the oldest Appalachian Mountain music through the eras of Bluegrass, Reggae, Funk, Country and Rock & Roll. From these primordial building blocks the DNA of Electric Larry Land was forged. A powerful apex species of music has emerged. The past is history and now is no time for nostalgia. Now is new. Crawl out of the smoking crater of an Electric Larry Band performance into a transformed world blazing with fresh joy and light.

Your eyes looked for a bass to chase
Wind your reel on the dock alone
Filet the fish don’t leave no bones
Throw away........your shoes
I’ll tell you where the meals are swell
At Bass and Grass there’s more to tell
Good food at night good food at day
Look for a bonfire if you lose your way
Throw away....your shoes
At the bed and barn there hangs a bell
It might be green baby You can’t tell
One fish by night one fish by day
If you get confused ralph knows what to say
Throw away.....your shoes
Some come to laugh their past away
Some come to make it just one more day
Whichever way your pleasure tends
You’re gonna come away with a lot of friends
Throw away.....your shoes
All weekend long few will sleep
Saturday jam makes for boogie feet
Bassports blown by the sand and wind
You’re sure to be coming back again
Throw away...your shoes
You better throw away your shoes
Fishin’ Friday!!
Fishin’ Friday!
