Hello, we just went through the second week of festivals and what a start to a great festival season it was. We started the season last week at the Strawberry Fest for a packed out town on the court house plaza in downtown Buckhannon,WV. We were caught off guard after being in the clubs all winter. It makes for a nice change in pace to get back outside. We then headed on into Chester for a casino show then on up to a radio station visit at the Wolf in Cumberland, MD with Pat Sullivan and Brian Moe. These guys have fun on the air - that's for sure. We hung around there for a while but we had to get out and get ready for the next day for what just might have been the nicest festival we have ever been to, the 1st Annual Delfest. They had us kicking things off Friday ... that's right the first band at the first ever Delfest (Del Mccoury festival). We were a little nervous due to the prestigious line up, but things went well. We got the first set in then we ran into Ronnie Mccoury (Del's son) out by the bus and he asked if we would do a workshop stage with him later that day. We were honored by the invite and agreed to the set . We had a blast trying to keep up with Ronnie! We hung for a little while after that to visit with our good friends Larry and Jenny Keel and watch some of the Mccoury's set. The weather was so nice we hated to leave but had to get for a show in Pittsburgh the next day. We did a show for the Mcgrogan's crew at a park. It was a neat party and they had some fine barbecue.We headed south from there to another party in WV where we got off the hook for a 2008 graduation party. The two shows made for a long day. The next day, we headed back to Delfest to do another slot at the festival. It was crazy when we got there , you could here Bela Flecks banjo cranking as we pulled in. Soon after we pulled in, Del was taking the stage ... if you have never seen Del Mccoury take the stage it is something you have to see. We watched some of his set at stage side along with Dierks Bently and some of Del's folks. Dierks then went on for a good acoustic set to close the show. Then, the party headed to the late night stage where we would do our 3rd set of the festival and it was a doosie! We got through the first 1/2 hour then looked over and the Mccoury family and several other folks had walked in on us . Ronnie then jumped up for a jam that ended up being 2 or 3 songs. We left the stage for a couple while the Lee boys from Miami took over. They invited us back to set in with them and a crazy fiddler named Nicki from the Steep Canyon Rangers. Then we cleared the stage again for Del to come back on for what would be the final set change of the festival. Then his people came and asked us if we would get up and do the closing song, "Will the Circle be Unbroken", with the Del Mccoury Band . What an honor it was - Del even let Donnie sing a verse. It was a feeling we will never forget, to be on stage in between Del and his boys. Sorry for those of you that missed it. In a round about way we played the first note of the festival and the last. We also would like to let everyone know that our single is taking off throughout the eastern radio stations and on Sirius satellite right now. We encourage you to blow up the radio request lines! Please help DBB out by calling in or sending e-mails to the DJ's. We will be doing a couple regional shows this week in Pittsbugh and at Sunshine Daydreams Campground. Then, we head back to Nashville for the rest of next week for a studio session and a few visits downtown for the CMA festival week. Hope to see you all soon and remember we need your help to get "Big City Hillbilly" playing in the new areas. If you have a station that you would like to hear "Big City Hillbilly" playing on let us know at nashvillehillbilly@davissonbrothersband.com
