Scribble and scratch this one into your calendars: 5:40 p.m. Friday, May 27, Northwest Court Stage, Seattle Center. It’ll be our third time on that stage, and we’re hoping for a big turnout — please come! (Forward any interested friends a link to this page, or the Facebook link.)

We’ll be playing all new material, including several new tunes we’ve composed. And–since many of you have asked for one–we’re hoping to put the finishing touches on a CD that’s good enough to distribute. The price won’t be too high, we promise: Just enough to pay for production and a little extra to help us pay for fiddle camp.

On Saturday (and possibly Monday and Tuesday), you can see a bit more of us. We’ll likely be busking if we can find a spot to lay our fiddle cases down. Riley will also be playing old-time tunes with his dad, Johnny, at 7 p.m. Saturday, also on the Northwest Court Stage. The bummer of scheduling is that Sami (and her dad, too) will be playing with the Northwest Scottish Fiddlers at nearly the same time, 7:30 p.m. in the Center House Theater. We hope that doesn’t put you in a Sophie’s Choice state of mind…

See you Friday!

P.S. That picture? It’s from two years ago, when we first played NW Folklife, same stage. The gig was actually scheduled at around 2 p.m., so we had to skip out of school. Don’t tell anyone, but some of our friends skipped, too!
