Subject: RE: Tanglefoot In Maine Jan. 26th
Here's some more bio-details about band members including the new fiddler:
Sandra Swannell made her Tanglefoot debut in January 2006. She succeeded Terry Snider, who joined in May of 2003 upon the retirement of founding fiddler Joe Grant. Guitarist Steve Ritchie has the longest tenure, having played with Tanglefoot since 1988. Toronto bass player Al Parrish has been around since 1994. Terry Young joined in 1999, bringing with him a gaggle of instruments including mandolin, guitar, tenor and five-sting banjo, harmonica and whistle. Piano player Bryan Weirmier replaced Tanglefoot's original keyboardist, Rob Ritchie, in the summer of 2002.
And info on their new CD:
Released in the fall of 2006, Dance Like Flames is Tanglefoot's first studio album since 2002. It's the first Tanglefoot CD to contain songs by all of the current band members. It also includes a first for Tanglefoot, a female voice.
Yes, this is "full-throated" promotion but I'm doing it as a volunteer, and I actually pay for concert tickets.
I do hope someone else in Maine is planning to go...
