Howdy friends! We hope this message finds you warm and well! Fall weather has surely reared it's head here in the boro, but not to fear, the Boro Boogie Pickers don't scare easy! We still have a few "outside" events before we shack up in the bars for the chilly winter months.
First and foremost, we would like to thank all of you for coming out and showing your support. You don't know what it means to us to see your smiling faces from the stage. Especially, the "little pickers", who have become an overnight sensation within the Boogie Picker family! Whether they're singing "Grandkids", yelling "corn" or dancing a jig, they bring that special down home touch to every event.
Summer 2008 has been a blast! We've had the honor of playing at several local benefits, including the Waynesboro Historical Society, Beaver Fest and the Boogie Picker Picknic for CdLS. We also had the pleasure of playing with Seldom Scene, Jim Lauderdale, Larry Keel, and Tony Rice at the Harvest Time Music Festival in Cumberland, MD, and with New Riders, Donna Jean and Melvin Seals at A Bear's Picnic in Laurelton, PA. We sold dozens of cds and made many new friends and fans along the way.
Although playing on the "big stage" has been memorable and exciting, nothing comes close to playing for your hometown amongst friends who are near and dear. So, don't miss us this weekend at the Waynesboro Harvest Festival. You will find us near the Post Office on Main Street, Saturday, October 4th from 11-1. Come on out and shake a leg with the locals! If after two hours, you find your BBP appetite only aroused, you can jump in the car and head down 70 to hear us play from 6-9 in Frederick at the "In the Streets" Music Festival. We will be setting up in front of Emporium Antiques located at 112 E. Patrick Street.
We would love to see you there!
"All aboard!" Yes, the rumors are true! The 2009 Boogie Bus is booked and tickets are on sale! On January 31st, the Boogie Bus will be making birth from the Waynesboro Kmart parking lot at 7pm and heading up the road to the ABC in Harrisburg, PA for a night of music and madness! If you were along for the ride last year, you can understand our excitement. This is a trip you don't want to miss! Tickets can be purchased from band members or by calling (717)387-1298.
Get 'em while they last!
We are also anticipating the release of our latest cd entitled "Get the Truck". We have been recording our 22 track album between gigs and vacations and are very close to a finished product. This album is so good, that we considered calling it, the "Greatest Hits"! (Just kidding!) But seriously, we are very anxious to share our work! We are planning a release party before the New Year and will announce the date and time in the near future.
Keep your eyes and ears open!
