You can leave it on all day and hear great music that you've never heard before and a lot of good stuff that you have heard (just not on regular radio). It's an honor to be asked to play there and join the list of great musicians to have dropped in for a performance. We're pumped to go in and play our tunes around a few mics bluegrass style!

So tune in tomorrow at www.wkze.com at 4pm!!

In March of 2007 The Sarah Pedinotti Band played The Egg - one of the capital area's most treasured listening spots. It was a happy day!

Now on November 7th we're coming back for more! With over a year's worth of evolution...new band name, new band members AND brand new album (which will be for sale for the first time in the upstate area on this day!)...you've just got to come out.

Hear Railbird play on this state of the art stage and...

You'll also get a show from singer/songwriter Phil Roy from Philadelphia. He's written hit songs for many greats including, Ray Charles and Mavis Staples.

Two shows for $25....can't beat it!

Chris and I had an awesome time opening for Phil Roy at the Ambler Theater. In the 70's and 80's artist like Hall + Oats, Todd Rundgren and many others graced the stage of the Ambler Theater. After almost a 1/4 century later, the music came back!! We were the first act to play in the historic theater in 22 years!
Phil was a great host and the people of Ambler welcomed us warmly. We'll have photos up soon.
