From our friend Bailey Jones in Auburn… Ever since the day I walked– OK, was dragged– into Mrs. Rangely’s four-year-old kindergarten class, I have struggled to find reasons to be happy that summer has ended. I’m still never happy that summer is ending, but for the past several years I can at least be glad that Sundilla is getting re-started after a summer hiatus. This year is no exception, and we are getting re-started with a bang: Randall Bramblett will be performing this Friday, August 27. Showtime is 7:30 (but you’ll want to be there early; more on that in a minute) and admission is still just $10, $8 for students, and free for children 12 and under. We’ll have free coffee, tea, water and food, and as always you are welcome to bring whatever food or beverage you prefer.Reminder from Richard this weekend.

Friday Night (June 25th) The Rail is going to be rocking with Harrison Hudson.
Some performers shine brightest when they are in the studio; John Wort Hannam is one of those who shines brightest when he is on stage, feeding off the energy of the audience. He is truly happiest when he is on the road playing and connecting personally with an audience. In short, he delivers the goods, and leaves with new fans. He tours extensively in Canada and the US. His many appearances have included a 2009 Mainstage performance at the Kerrville Folk Festival, a 2008 performance at Trafalgar Square and the 2006 Smithsonian Folklife Festival in Washington DC.

Bailey Jones in Auburn sends along some of the longest emails that I get. But you get all the information needed to decide to attend the Sundilla Series concerts. Here’s news on tonights show…
Don’t forget: when you’re trying to figure out what to do tonight, you can’t do any better than Terri Hendrix and Lloyd Maines at Sundilla. Terri has covered every genre from folk to country to pop to blues to Celtic to Tex-Mex to jazz to Western swing, so you’re going to hear a lot of different stuff, all from two performers and eight instruments on one single stage. Showtime is 7:30, and admission is just $10, $8 for students, and free for children 12 and under. We’ll have free coffee, tea, water and food, though as always you care welcome to bring whatever food or beverage you prefer.
At 2:30, go to www.wildmansteve.com, and listen to Terri and Lloyd perform LIVE in Wildman Steve’s studio! And any time you want, go to www.offbeatauburn.com and listen to a podcast Terri did with Sundilla’s own Kelly Walker. And then at 7:30, grab your seat in the AUUF and hold on, because you will be moments away from being blown away by one of the most dynamic– and successful– performers ever to set foot on the Sundilla stage. (She won’t have her Grammy Award with her… but she has won one. Not many performers that you’ll see around here can say that.)
Here are a few quotes about Terri from people around the country. Fair warning: there are A LOT of quotes here. While that means it might take a few minutes to read them all, it reinforces what I have been trying to say: Terri Hendrix is as good as it gets, and as good as it will ever get. We’re lucky to have her here, and it would be a shame for her to have her do her thing in front of anything less than a packed house. (more…)
