HI GARY,

I’VE LISTENED TO ALL THE SONGS. I REALLY LIKE YOUR WORK, IT’S HIGH QUALITY STUFF. SURE, QUITE JIMI ORIENTED, BUT JIMI IS A GOOD MASTER…!

TWO OR THREE YEARS AGO I WOULD HAVE SAY : YES, LET’S TRY TO DO SOMETHING. BUT TODAY, EVERYTHING IS SO TOUGH… NOBODY BUYS CDS NO MORE, MUSIC IS SUPPOSED TO BE FREE, PIRACY IS THE RULE AND IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO TRY TO DO ANYTHING WITHOUT CONCERTS.

NOW, WE’RE ONLY TWO AT DIXIEFROG (I WAS OBLIGED TO FIRE THREE PERSONS DURING THE LAST THREE YEARS) AND I’M OBLIGED TO BE MORE THAN PRUDENT BEFORE TO COLLABORATE WITH A NEW ARTIST.

SO, I HAVE ONE QUESTION : WOULD YOU HAVE ANY CONTACT WITH BOOKING AGENTS IN EUROPE OR ANY CONTACTS TO TOUR, HERE ? WITHOUT REGULAR EUROPEAN TOURS NOTHING IS POSSIBLE.

Had fun sitting in with Ash Phipps and the guys at Ash's open mic on Sunday - here's one of the songs we did - let me know what you think, and don't forget to check out his open mic - every Sunday afternoon from 2pm till 6pm at Zippers on East Hanover St, near Gettysburg, PA.  :-)

Dropped everything off at the CD duplication place yesterday - got proofs today - everything is finally coming together!  Hopefully you are as excited to hear this new disc as I am to have it done and ready for you to listen to it...  

Here is the poster for the party...  Hope you can make it out to the show, this is your chance to get the disc before the official release...

Bushmaster is pleased to have performed at Delmarva Bike Week again this year - ...thanks to Kerry and Ashley for putting on such a great event - thanks to Skip & Cindy Mason and the crew at Mirage Sound for making us sound soooo good - thanks to Sunshine Catering for the awesome food - and of course thanks to everyone who came out to listen to us and the other live bands!!!

Here's some pictures (and two video clips mixed into the slide show) of our fun time:

What is it they say "April showers...", well we had plenty of rain this past weekend.  Thanks to everyone who braved the showers to hang out with us at the Steer Inn in Berlin, MD, on Friday, April 8, and the Wing Hub in Bethesda, MD, on Saturday, April 9, 2011.  Also, we had the pleasure of performing with long time friend Clarence "The Bluesman" Turner sitting in on bass on Saturday.  He fronts his own band on guitar, so getting to play with him was a rare treat - listen to the audio (podcast) footage and let me know what you think...

Bushmaster performed live at Blondie's in Carlisle, PA, on Saturday, March 26, 2011. Here are some pictures and video clips taken on our phone and digital camera - spot yourself in the crowd and leave me a comment... thanks to everyone who came out and partied with us - we had a blast!!! ... Gary Brown - guitar, vocals; Blaine Weisser - bass; Casey LaPearle - drums.
