Huh, interesting. Marty Wilson-Piper, guitarist for the band the Church (y’know, “Under The Milky Way”), will be playing at the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival in Golden Gate Park (San Francisco) on October 4th. Actually, it’s billed as Marty Wilson-Piper and the Mood Maidens, presumably some sort of bluegrass side project? (Though as the name implies, the festival strays pretty widely from straight bluegrass.) I’ve never seen Wilson-Piper (nor the Church, for that matter) live, but a friend of mine whose seen a couple solo acoustic shows by him says he’s a good performer.
Update: Unfortunately, my wife was sick over the weekend, and we didn’t end up making the show. I’ve actually tried unsuccessfully to see the Church two or three times, so this is just continuing the idiotic pattern. Oh well, some day ….
