Most Thursdays In Weed

I love being involved with the Weed Arts Council.  We have fun.  Super fun.  Art fun and music fun.

Every Thursday (with few exceptions for holidays), Weed Arts Council sponsors Brewgrass, live Bluegrass music at the Mt. Shasta Brewery in Weed, CA.

The music is great, and the company is amazing.  I’ve been amassing pictures of the players for a couple months now, but I’ve never gotten around to posting anything…. until now.

There’s a whole group of players who show up when they can and bust into a nice jam session.

This is Banjo Billy.  He doesn’t like having his picture taken.

  

Miah (right) doesn’t mind, he’s kinda a ham.

 

There are all kinds of cool instruments, some I’ve never heard of and some I can’t name, but they look and sound cool.

 

Stand up bass…

This thing…

Also, not pictured, I’ve seen guys play saws and washtub basses.  They are all awfully sweet and will explain what I washtub bass is to me.

People dance.

 

Players dance around too, and I get some cool motion blur shots.

These guys sing too.

 

Plus, every once in a while, we get one kick butt lady representin’ for the girls!

  

For some reason, I found I have hardly any pictures of the people.  I love spending this time with friends, musicians and artists.  Maybe this week I’ll turn the camera on the crowd more.  They’re a good bunch.
