New CD from Blue Moon Rising
We got a note from Blue Moon Rising yesterday with some news that will be of interest to their friends and fans.
The band is currently in the studio working on their second release for Lonesome Day records. It is being produced by Cody Kilby, flatpicking gunslinger with Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder, and should be released sometime this summer.
Their first Lonesome Day release, On The Rise, was released in 2005.
The band also asked us to pass along a bit of news about a special show they are doing this Friday (4/27).
Blue Moon Rising is holding a benefit concert this Friday night for their former Fan Club President, Linda Watkins. Due to the heath crisis of Linda and some of her family members all at one time, Blue Moon Rising will host this benefit, Friday, April 27th at Vonore Elementary School, Vonore, TN. It begins at 7:00 pm. Only $10 pp and kids 12 and under are admitted free. All proceeds go to Linda and her family.
