Howlin' Brothers 5/19

I am going to Hill Country BBQ tomorrow night to tape the Howlin' Brothers. I will be running three sets of new mics, two Neumann 140's, two Busman Little Bs, and two AT853's. 

Looking forward to a new bluegrass band!!

Adios Mexico!

Updates From Mexico

Hey everyone! Greetings from San Juan de los Lagos in Mexico. I am here visiting family and loving the city. And I am on the lookout for a Mariachi to record, but no success yet. But no worries, I will be looking for the authentic sound to capture with my AT933's.

I have also added a nice set of Neumann's to my mic arsenal. I can't wait to use them later this month at the Hometown Holiday Festival in Rockville. I am going to run them with my Nak CM1000's, Busman BSC1's, and AT933's. I am considering running another set of Naks with it, Nak CM300 or 100's. But I am trying to slim the rig down some; we'll see how that goes with several sweet sounding mics at home.

Here are the shows that I am planning on seeing and recording:
May 24, B Side Shuffle, Hometown Holidays 2014, Hungerford's Tavern Stage
May 25, Hillbilly Gypsies, Hometown Holidays 2014, Hungerford's Tavern Stage
May 29, Rusted Root with the Wailers, 9:30 Club
June 2, Clap Your Hand & Say Yeah, U Street Music Hall
July 3, B Side Shuffle, Cabinet, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, 9:30 Club
July 5, 19th Street Band, 9:30 Club (may be taping)
July 8, Peter Frampton, Lincoln Theatre (not taping)
July 23, Nick Cave & Bad Seeds, DAR (not taping)
July 26, Phish, Merriweather (not taping)
August 6, Passenger, Echostage (may be taping)
September 3, Gary Clarke Jr., Jeff Beck, ZZ Top, Merriweather (not taping)
Sept. 27, Charlie Hunter & Scott Amendola, Jammin' Java
Nov. 19, Greg Brown, Jammin' Java (may be taping)

Let me know if I am missing any good bands that allow taping. It is an oversight. And check out my recordings on LMA (http://archive.org/bookmarks/DeadGreg) and etree (http://bt.etree.org/?searchsss=deadgreg&cat=0&incldead=1).

Support bands that allow taping. Buy their records and tickets to their shows!
