OMG what a day! We are intrepidly reporting from MusicFest 2011 at Steamboat Springs. Day three of filming, in order of appearance in the Music Fog studio at the Steamboat Grand today: Randy Rogers, Charlie Robison, Sons of Bill, Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers, Uncle Lucius, Willy & Cody Braun from Reckless Kelly, Roger Creager and Paul Overstreet. Our tally for the three days of recording is 25 amazing artists, and we have captured lots of cool songs from each. It appears we might even have captured five brand new songs that have never been recorded, and two that were actually named during their recording session. We have been asking all the artists that came by what they thought about the MusicFest. Everyone talked about how great it is to be able to spend time with one another, share music and good times. That seems to be a mantra 'round these parts.
We had Kevin and Dustin Welch in the studio here, with Kelley Mickwee singing backup, on the song "Highland Mary." This collaboration embodies the spirit of MusicFest. It is just beautiful having them play together; father, son and Trisha member.
