Thanks Howard!
Trio California Journal
November 30th, 2009The first night as a trio was a bit of a blur. the second night at the palms opera house was a completely different show and we were a completely different band. it was a very satisfying musical evening. from there it only got better. here are some pics from our travels…
In Santa Monica we hit the famous pier where there was a man painting a canvas that looked like an adirondack mountain stream with autumnal brown and orange colors, while looking out at the blue and sunny pacific ocean. amusing. california. (pictured).

November 10th, 2009Another day of King Wilkie at Riverhawk. We dined on alligator! Afterwards we headed north for an engagement on the Woodsongs Radio Hour in Lexington, KY. Sam Bush was the co-host and we were proud to share the stage with some amazing musicians. Lexington is a charming town, but has a couple of real oddity landmarks…including a monument to the place where they used to chain blacks who broke curfew. Aside from that, it made a pleasant impression.
Knoxville: Playing with Abe
November 9th, 2009Our great buddy Mr. Abe Spear was in the house and joined us onstage last night. If anyone has pictures of this, please do send them our way…
In Florida by the Suwannee
November 8th, 2009Currently down beneath the spanish moss at the Riverhawk Festival in central Florida. We played a couple sets today and Phill got going on a bit of banjo improvisation during our first set. Not a lot of festivals for King Wilkie this year, so while in Rome, we’re soaking it in…the peoples, the atmosphere, the smells. All so great and so recognizable. This wristband and these smokey-smelling clothes will stay on for the next few days.
Cottonfields
November 7th, 2009On an off day, we decided to pull over and go explore a really beautiful part of America — the fruit stands and cotton fields of south Georgia. Sucking on sugar cane is great. The pecan and peach ice cream also received high marks…
The Streets of Knoxville
November 4th, 2009Tour video is back.
This time we were in Knoxville. a little groggy after an early radio show, and walking down the middle of the street…
Another drive with John McEuen – Sellersville, PA
October 5th, 2009We’re driving Nitty Gritty Dirt Band’s John McEuen back home after the Sellersville Theater show. This has happened more than once.

TOUR VIDEOS: Meet Phill
September 12th, 2009We’re on tour. Its late. We’re at a truckstop in Warren, Ohio waiting for our food.
TOUR VIDEOS: OZARKS LODGE
September 9th, 2009A switch in plan left us alone and in full control of the entire hotel for a 24 hour period.
Relaxing at the Wildwood Springs Hunting Lodge in Steelville, Missouri. A fine 1920’s hacienda-type lodge with beautiful acreage. Just what the doctor ordered! Great show last night…band is sounding excellent with the additions of Matt Downing and Phillips Saylor.

King Wilkie Business Card
August 4th, 2009Its been a long while since the days of the King Wilkie business card. I used to hand them out, everywhere. I believe they used to read something like “King Wilkie: King Sized Bluegrass!”
Well, we’re thinking of re-creating the age-old marketing/promotional device, thanks in large part to this business card guru. (Only this time, we’ll do it the right way.)
Be inspired by a serious Business Card Guru:

WOODSTOCK RAMBLE WITH LEVON HELM
December 9th, 2008Last weekend we played the Levon Helm midnight ramble in woodstock which was unbelievable. We were joined onstage by Samantha Parton from the Be Good Tanyas. Levon (from The Band)…he enters the stage literally from his own living room, and his band was fantastic. A 5-piece horn section featured Howard Johnson, on guitars were Jimmy Vavino and Larry Cambell, Steve Earl and Alison Moorer joined in and it was just a beautiful winter night up in woodstock at Levon’s barn. Happy Holidays! pics from soundcheck @ the levon helm midnight ramble. woodstock, ny.
