Greetings from Gary Ferguson

Season's Greetings!

I hope everyone has a happy and safe holiday season. I will be back for my third consecutive tour of Ireland in July '07. David Miner will once again be touring with me. We will start the tour at the Athy Bluegrass Festival, where we play on 13 and 14 July. We end the tour at the Phil Murphy Weekend in Carrig-on-Bannow on 27, 28, and 29 July. We will be doing concerts as well as workshops: Dave will be conducting Dobro workshops and I will be helping out with songwriting workshops. John Murphy has mentioned the possibility of my doing a workshop with Mick Hanly. We still have a lot of gaps to fill in our tour schedule. Any promoters looking for performance or workshop dates can reach us by e-mail here or here.

I hope to have 2 new CDs available for the July tour. I just recorded for a Bill Emerson project with Tony Rice, Jimmy Gaudreau, Mark Newton, Paul Williams, Pete Goble, Dudley Connell, Tony Trischka, etc. The project is what Bill calls The Sweet Dixie Band. The second project is a live CD from a festival I played with Mike Auldridge, Ron Stewart, Emory Lester, and Gail Wade in East Hartford, CT - recorded at the Podunk Bluegrass Music Festival - Live at Podunk.

Looking forward to seeing all my friends in Ireland again. Can't wait! Happy holidays!
