Uncle Earl: laurels to rest on

Uncle Earl, sweethearts of the 2006 Johnny Keenan Banjo Festival, have just won the Folk Alliance Album of the Year award with their latest CD, Waterloo, Tennessee, and are nominated for the Artist of the Year award.

After a hectic year, they intend to slow down band operations for a while and concentrate on their individual projects. Full details are in their February newsletter, which can be read on the Uncle Earl MySpace site.
