Coming Club and Associated Events

    (Past Guest Pickers at our Pickin' Parties)

 

  • OFGC Matinee Concert

"Swing at it's finest!"

(Neat amateur clip of them)

Primarily Django Reinhardt gypsy jazz influenced swing from some of Nashville's finest musicians.

First time ever in Columbus, Ohio!

Bluegrass Lovers - you won't want to miss award winning fiddler - Stuart Duncan!!!

We know the big OSU/Mich game is scheduled for the same day - if it's a noon game we'll have it on a TV in the other room.  If it's a later game - we'll treat this as a "tailgate party!"

Richard Smith
and
The Hot Club of Nashville
(website)

Stuart Duncan - fiddle
Pat Bergeson - guitar
Charlie Chadwick - bass

Griswold Center
777 High Street
Worthington, OH 43085
(directions)

Concert at Noon

Cost = $15 donation appreciated

OK, I'm goin' out on a limb here by suggesting that Columbus needs to forget for a moment that Sir Richard Smith is one of the top three finger style guitarists in the world - bar none.  Forget that Pat Bergeson was Chet Atkins' favorite sideman for many years - and, has a tribute CD tribute to Chet out called "Country Gentleman" - that is one of the best kept secrets in the industry..  Instead, dare I suggest that we instead need to concentrate on the fact that STUART DUNCAN is the most brilliant session fiddle player to ever come out of Nashville and is worth stopping whatever important stuff we might THINK we have to do this Saturday afternoon and come see his magic - he is incredulous!!!!

This will not be one of our regular Pickin' Parties - this is a concert, only!

July 8 - 11, 2009 - Weds - Sat.

Music City Sheraton Hotel
Nashville, TN
