Hey! Little ol’ Geraldine is getting some love from Americana Music Association UK @theamauk Check out the link 🔗 in our bio. Our album got a wonderful nod, and how cool is it that the review mentions Doc Watson, flatfooting, and Uncle Tupelo in the same breath!? 🙏🪕🐴🎻 #theamauk #ukfolkmusic #rootsmusic #oldtimemusic #bluegrass #albumreview #baltimoremusicians #songwriting #baltimore #mdmusic #acoustic #bluegrassmusic #rootsmusic #songwriter #musicreviews #albumrelease

@tim_newby9 has a very nice series going for @slideandbanjo magazine called Quarantine Life. 🔗link in bio. The latest features @larrykeel @jayblakesberg @cabinetmusic @cris_jacobs @thebigwu @thesweetlilliesband @festygonuts @areyougarbage and @thegeraldineband. It’s an interesting read to see similarities in how folks are dealing with quarantine life, and how the music and art communities are working to stick together. While you are at it, check out Tim’s latest book, ‘Leftover Salmon: 30 Years of Festival’, and of course the definitive ‘Bluegrass in Baltimore: The hard driving sound and it’s legacy’ #slideandbanjo #30yearsoffestival #quarantinelife #baltimore #interview #thegeraldineband

One of the silver linings of quarantining is that there are new opportunities to learn from great instructors on the interwebs. @janderson995 had a good ol time during his online fiddle lesson with @alliekral from @yondermountain .

Quarantining with a broken elbow has led to a good deal of simple, left handed chores, as well as ample time to explore new music. One recent discovery is a wonderfully delicate album, ‘Not So Deep A Well’ by Myriam Grendron. A collection of songs based on Dorothy Parker poetry. #painting #poetry #quarantine #dorothyparker #myriamgrendron #isolation #covid_19 #newmusic #blackrooms

What would Woody Guthrie be singing if he was alive today? That thought spurred this song a few years ago. It never really saw the light of day, but it seems particularly relevant today... 💪#baltimoremusicians #songwriting #covid_19 #socialdistancing #rootsmusician

FU, Covid 19! 🖕🦠 Even a hundred hammers can’t break our hearts! So cool, y’all, the @awemechannel behind the scenes video is a hit! Here is a clip of our final video - link 🔗to full video on our bio.

TODAY IS THE DAY! VIDEo RELEASE! 🎥📽📺 Perhaps this is the most appropriate time to launch our video of ‘A Hundred Hammers’ off of our newly released album, ‘Harvester’. The world is going a bit crazy right now… but as someone once sang (i.e., us) “A hundred hammers can’t break my heart….” 💪🔨❤️ HUGE thanks to our friends at Baltimore Knife and Sword, Brothers in Arms, AWE ME channel, and of course William Wall for leading this effort.

We are really feeling for all our friends who make

We are really feeling for all our friends who make their living through music, performance, arts, service industry, and anyway that requires folks to gather. It may seem like the world is on fire right now... but you can still help. Buy restaurant gift cards, buy online albums, take online lessons, support live feed concerts, and if you come across a health care professional, give them a proper bow, curtsy, elbow, or any form of endearment from a safe social distance. 😉 -PS, our March shows are canceled. 👊🙏💪🤘👍 #covid19 #bonfire #baltimoremusicians #livemusic #together #teamwork

So, we kinda did a thing with our friends at Baltimore Knife and Sword and @awemechannel AWE ME YouTube Channel. What kind of thing!?! It’s big, it’s firey 🔥, and it’s deserving of many fancy adjectives, and perhaps a folk music equivalent of an over the top gender reveal party with explosives and colored smoke... OR we could just show you on Friday. Head’s up, y’all. 💥🔥✨⚡️🤷🏻‍♂️🎻⚔️🪕#surprise #reveal #folk #rootsmusic #bluegrass #oldtimemusic #baltimoremusic #awemechannel #baltimoreknifeandsword
