Our thanks to Mark Gaynier of KC Campground for hosting the bands, and for inviting us to participate. 'Twas a fine afternoon.

Huron Ridge was the Day's First Band

And I got my best band photographs while they were on stage.

They're a new band, evidently based in Ann Arbor. That's Chris Dawson on mandolin, Hampton Cope on bass, Willie Carter on guitar, and Chip Cope (Hampton's dad) on banjo.

Poking around on the web, I discovered that Chris and Willie did a free concert in the lobby of the University of Michigan Hospitals last January 9. That lobby doubles as a waiting room for friends and family of folks having surgery, and I've spent more time sitting there than I'd really like. A noon-time distraction would certainly have been welcome on the days I was there. Glad they provided one on someone else's long day.

Sometimes you need another view.

Don't know this fellow's name; mayhap Nick will fill me in.

Nick's been the official photographer for the Milan Bluegrass Festival for several years, now, but this program was rather more ambitious.

He's a professional photographer; his day job is Collected Concepts, out of Alpena, where he tells me he's usually photographing jewelry. His company's got neat job titles.

Nick puts on the Sunrise Side Music Festival at Lost Lake Woods, which is near Alpena. We'd been hoping to attend this summer, but like most festivals it was cancelled. Here's hoping next year's better.

Old Friends

Here's Steve Thomas being interviewed by Jeff Tuttle, in front of a caricature of Jeff. It was immediately clear that they'd known each other for years, from Jeff's time as a Nashville-based musician. Steve helped produce Jeff's CD, "Livin' Like a Millionaire (ain't got a dime)". Here are both of 'em, in 2007, playing the title song.

Jeff's a native of Monroe, and is now the morning DJ on the local radio station, Nash-Icon 98.3. During the September 15 program Jeff introduced both Steve's Time Machine band and Dave Adkins, and he interviewed both musicians on stage after they performed. If you watched the Adkins show last Saturday you saw that interview, mixed in with the music. There was a similar mix of music and interview in the October 17 livestream of Steve's show.

Just for the heck of it, here's another video of that song, with a dancer.

Mark Gaynier was our host--he owns KC Campground and put together the program.

Steve Thomas told us he'd appeared at the Milan Bluegrass Festival with several bands. It was pretty clear these guys had known each other for years.

Steve's part of the day's festivities will be streamed this Saturday, October 17. Details are here.

It's often difficult to photograph the bass player, because usually they stand behind the band. Evan had just completed a slap-bass solo when I got this image.

Except for Steve, no one in his band was familiar to me. I see online that Mr. Winsor grew up in Connecticut, graduated from Berklee, spent several years on LA, and moved to Nashville a couple years back. He's done session work with several bluegrass bands. He grew up in a musician's household and his musical taste seems pretty eclectic.

Steve Thomas & the Time Machine also appeared

Steve Thomas has been active in Nashville's music scene for nearly forty years, mostly as a fiddle and mandolin sideman with bluegrass and country bands. I saw him with The Cardinal Tradition a few years back, and likely with the Osborne Brothers in the late 1980s (I confess I only really remember Bobby). Given his resume, I likely saw him with other groups and have forgotten. And not many years ago he and Mark Newton released one of my favorite bluegrass albums.

This group was obviously delighted to be on stage on September 15. Steve formed The Time Machine about a year ago, and they released their first single (Down in the Wildwood) last October. A new band, they'd only played a few gigs before the pandemic closed down the touring music industry.
