SONG DOG SERENADE TO OPEN FOR KATHY KALLICK BAND

Exactly one week from this posting the Kathy Kallick Band will be performing on Thursday, April 9th, at the Hampton Inn, located at 5110 South Gate Drive in Billings, MT.  Local band, Song Dog Serenade, will open the show at 7 PM.  The YBA website lists the tickets at $22 for adults, but I noticed a poster at Evergreen IGA which included slightly lower costs. It also said $2 discounts would be available to members of the MRBA, seniors, and veterans.  (I belong to all of those categories.  Do you suppose I would get two bucks off for EACH of them. Ha! Fat chance, Rog.) The Kallick Band's tour will include performances in Missoula on April 7th and Great Falls on April 8th.  These are all part of the Ruby Jewel Concert Series.  Phyliss Erck is bringing several exceptional bluegrass bands to Montana as part of that series. I first heard Kathy Kallick's name as part of the all female group, "The Good Old Persons," with Laurie Lewis on fiddle about 20 years ago. I was a fan of Laurie's fiddling at that time. Kathy Kallick has gone on to accumulate an impressive resume as a picker, songwriter and vocalist. This should be a great show to attend.

Also congratulations to Scott and Paddy Moore. Song Dog is rubbing shoulders with the big time bluegrass bands now.
