They will be held Saturday, November 7th, at the Live Oak UU Congregation, 820 N. Fairview Avenue in Goleta, California. The show will begin at 8:00 PM. A singer and multi-instrumentalist with many years’ performing experience throughout California and the West, Peter Feldmann has been presenting bluegrass, folk, string band, and related musics since the early 1960's, and is known as the founder of the Santa Barbara Old Time Fiddler's Convention, and the original Bluebird Café in Santa Barbara, a music club highly influential on the Southern California Music scene. Peter is the recipient of the 2008 "Music Legend" award from the Topanga Banjo/Fiddle Association, and last year taught a string band performance class for the Department of Music at UCSB. The five-piece Very Lonesome Boys band includes bassist Tom Lee, veteran of the Cache Valley Drifters and The Bluegrass Cardinals, The banjo duties are ably handled by record producer David West (Play Ball Productions), known also for his song writing and engineering skills, while Tommy Marton, a leading exponent of Texas contest style fiddling as well as bluegrass music, will preside on fiddle. Mike Nadolson, from Lake Elsinore, CA plays guitar and adds lead and harmony vocals to the band's sound. The band presents a stimulating mixture of bluegrass standards and re-visitations of earlier country music from the 1920s and 30s. The band's shows will feature selections from their recently-released CD, "Home On The Grange" as well as Peter's adaptation of some numbers from his new CD "Down By The Brazos", out this month.
