How about a magazine cover? Here’s the latest Georgia Connector Magazine, with a fine write-up about The Wild Fires and Cowboy Angel Music. On the cover (seated) along with a local street gang bluegrass band:
Our friend Daniel Peiken posted an impromptu performance of new song “A Fortune to Give” feat. Adam Poulin on fiddle. Have a look & a listen from AthensRockShow.
And finally, musician/engineer-extraordinaire and Wild Fires drummer Bronson Tew (aka Bronson Mestizo) recently recorded a slew of newer solo acoustic songs. We’ll be working on the material in the spring for a killer Wild Fires record (our first).
