Concert Night!

 What a fun Fair we're having so far and it's only Monday!  Tonight was the concert in the arena and a great band from Utah, LOKALGROWN, opened for Gwen Sebastian.  It's such a small world and three of the band members are friends of mine.  I was so excited to see my beautiful friend Dawn perform.  We go way back (Sun Valley Carolers, early 2000's, many hours spent in the sauna on the slopes and singing . . . . . love her guts!)  Windstorm/Rain/Dustbowl weather be danged, the show must go on, and it did!

 

After Lokalgrown, my boy was stoked to have won a raffle item and we'll be going out for pizza as a family thanks to his big win;-)

 

The concert was awesome.  Gwen's Band was fantastic and were such nice people.  I loved this photo of my boy and Gwen the most.  She took time to meet every single person and autograph their items and take pictures.  What a fun end to a long day at the Lincoln County Fair.

Lincoln County Fair Big Top

The Linford Band is playing Monday August 4, 2013 at the Lincoln County Fairgrounds in Afton, Wyoming.  Don't miss the free entertainment under the big top this week.  We will be playing at 1:00 and 3:00.  Be there!  :-)   

Fair Time

Grand Champion Walk Trot Teton County Fair

 Well, Fair Season is upon us and leave it to the kids to pave the way for all the good times to come.  As for the parents, we have one more week before our performances at the Lincoln County Fair.  Next Monday we'll be under the big top for two shows and Thursday night we'll be playing with Charlie Jenkins for the street dance.  We love Fair time around here. 

Oat's face is killing me in this photo.  I guess we all know how he feels at the end of a horse show!

Dance Tonight!

6:00 to whenever you're too weary to waltz, too tired to two step, too pooped to polka

We're bringing the band, so that means Dave and Stephanie on drums and bass

(and hand claps and maybe a few nana, na's)

 

 

Relay For Life Tonight

If you are walking, running or crawling your leg of the Relay For Life tonight around 7:15, Cal and I will serenade you as you go.  See you soon! 

Musical Inspiration

I try to get to at least one live concert a year, and I know Brandi puts on a GREAT show, so for the fifth year in a row, I stayed with tradition.  Luckily the opening band THE LONE BELLOW was worth the money and time spent as well.  I love live music.  It is so important to get out there and support artists (especially local bands).  This is a video of "DREAMS" from one of the best concerts I've been to.  You won't be sorry if you check out www.brandicarlile.com and www.thelonebellow.com  Seriously. 

Relay For Life

Cal and Teddy will be hanging out with the great families and friends supporting the Relay For Life this Friday July 19th.  See you there! 

Life Before the Song

On The Trail

Even before we started writing about horses and kids and the beautiful place we live, we lived it.  We rode horses, raised nurse calves, branded and doctored and all the rest.  Tomorrow our kids get to do what was always my favorite part of our life here.  My son will be on his first cattle drive with his cousin and Grandpa.  If that's not inspiration for a song, nothing is.  How lucky we are to have a life beyond music that makes it all so much richer for us.  To quote Garth Brooks, "You aren't wealthy until you have something money can't buy". 

In The Summertime

When the weather is hot, Cal is going to be holed up like a mole in the new studio.  We're currently working on our fourth album as a family.  It's always an adventure to see where the songs will take us.  Cal has a lot of music to get recorded but once in a while we'll have to let him out into the sunshine ;-)  Meanwhile, this is what Teddy has been up to. . . . . .
