Friday Guitar Blogging - Pedal Steel Addition
I'm excitedly nervous but proud to announce plans for the Shani Hedden Group to be joined by none other than Mark Van Allen on pedal steel, lap steel, dobro, guitar, and whatever else he may want to truck up here, this coming November.
That's November 3-5, to be exact, at the Tennessee Valley Theatre in Spring City, TN. Showtimes are TBA, but it's basically a Friday and Saturday night with a Sunday matinee. Make plans to join us!
Mark Van Allen has played with some of the country's greatest performers in the Jamband, Country & Western, Bluegrass, and Americana genres. (Check his bio here.) It goes without saying that I am mucho nervoso about playing next to a guy who so recently shared the stage with Jimmy Herring and Bobby Lee Rodgers at the same time.
The Shani Hedden Group is a Chattanooga-based band led by vocalist Shani Hedden Palmer and bassist Kenny Palmer. Shani has earned gold records for her amazing talent, and is perhaps best known in recent years for performing (and reprising) the starring role in Ted Swindley's "Always...Patsy Cline." The Shani Hedden Group adds to the classic sounds of Patsy Cline by drawing from Alt-Country, Rockabilly, Swing (Western and otherwise), and modern "Nashville" Country material.
"Mark" your calendar for the first weekend in November, and come experience a unique musical event that is at once fresh and timeless.
