The Allegheny Drifters

Posted June 24, 2008	NORTH COUNTRY BREWING ROCKED! The band really had the crowd ROCKIN' last night at NCB! The old adage "you can't dance to bluegrass" was tossed out the window as the dancers had the floor shaking. We always have a great time playing at this popular college town microbrewery just north of Pittsburgh, and are already looking forward to our next gig there on August 18.
Posted June 16, 2008	BLUEGRASS in the HILLS on Saturday June 14 We had a great time at Bluegrass in the Hills in Hopedale, Ohio on Saturday, despite the soggy weather. Calvin's new stage backdrop design and extended covered audience area were nice new additions this year. The bands all did fine shows, and it was especially nice to meet and spend some time with Alex Hibbitts & his band Appalachian Reign, from down around Johnson City, Tennessee - all fine musicians & real nice folks.

Posted May 29, 2008	Great Time at Foxburg We had a great time at Foxburg, PA over Memorial Day weekend. The weather was super and we met many new friends and renewed friendships from last year's visit. It was our pleasure to bring some traditional bluegrass to old Lincoln Hall. Our thanks to the folks at ARCA, especially Pat and Arthur Steffy and Adam Weiss. Thanks also to the many kind folks who purchased our CDs - we hope you enjoy them as much as we enjoyed playing for you.
Posted May 4, 2008	New CD "Can't Wait" Released April 18, 2008 We're pleased to have celebrated the release of our new CD at the St. Joseph's House of Hospitality show at Synod Hall in Pittsburgh. It was a wonderful evening of bluegrass, breaking previous attendance records and raising funds for a very good cause.
