​So we were out one lazy Sunday afternoon on a self-guided winery tour of North Georgia and our first stop blew me away! Feathers Edge has the nicest people, the best music, and the finest wine of any place I've been.  A brief conversation about music with owner David Boone and he pulls out his calendar and gave us a date. I offered to audition a song or two on the spot and he says, "Nah, don't worry about it, I can tell."

Can't wait to prove it with the Sawgrass Blues Band Duo!

MARCH: Jud had a GREAT time playing guitar and singing as part of The O'Shelby Duo at Guston's in Acworth on St. Patty's Day! Duo turned into trio when fiddle player Justin Monday jumped in and jammed with us for about an hour.  That's what I love about music - sharing the stage with other good players and creating a whole new thing.  I'm just sorry I have to wait another YEAR to bring the Irish tunes out.  How about a mid-year half-pattys day?

Now BACK TO THE BLUES!  Lots of new gigs coming in April. The patio is opening up soon at Jimmys and the blues are alive again at Spiced Right Ribhouse in Roswell - Blues, Brews, and Barbecues!

Many people don't know, but at least once a year Sawgrass Blues Band takes off its blues fedora and dons a tam to go back to our roots in the auld Irish pub, where we got our start (true story). With only 200+ days to go to St. Pat's, it seems a good time to dust off our Erse and sing a few ditties 'bout drinking, dancing, smoking, & fighting, and love for a red-headed girl.  Plenty of open seating and safe dining.

Yes,
it's purely selfish. Doing a charity gig makes us feel good about ourselves. So what's wrong with that?
Nothing, I tell you! Giving back makes us feel good, so win//win/win.  So much Win!

Relay for Life  -  Charity Event
at Grace Fellowship Church
, Snellville
Featuring Suzanne Thomas McDaniel


So my friend Suzanne says hey, wanna come play guitar? Sure I sez, I love to play guitar. But first you have to come sing with us. 
So she did. So now we're committed.

Not sure what to expect, except I know we get one song and it's in front of about 400 people.
What could go wrong?



[EDIT: 3/29/17:  What could go wrong is that I stepped on the guitar cable and unplugged the guitar halfway through my first verse in front of about 200 people.   Never, never, never ask 'What could go wrong?' !!!]
