We loved playing the Frankfort Bluegrass Festival in northern Illinois last weekend!
This never gets any less thrilling. This was Saturday night at The Grand Ole Opry:
Spotted in a Great Barrington, MA used bookstore. I’d like to know more about “baseball’s disgraceful mess.”
Greetings from Edith Wharton’s home, The Mount, in western Massachusetts.
The start of our 2026 European tour! Our first band tour here in 7 years, our first with Mark Stoffel in 9 years.
This made me laugh OL. Perhaps *The Really Wild Shrew* or *A Tale of One City* could have been added to this.
Due to circumstances completely outside of Canada’s control . . .
Performing at the Berkeley Bluegrass Festival at @thefreight.bsky.social earlier this month. We loved the festival!
I’m rededicating myself to giving less of my time and attention to toxic social media platforms, which means giving more here. To that end, Happy Mother’s Day. Here is my mother and grandmother, with my uncle. This probably explains a lot about my worldview. @jamiegangel.bsky.social

I’ll have classic country music for you from Lefty Frizzell to Flatt & Scruggs to Tammy Wynette (though not this rare record, sorry) at SiriusXM Willie’s Roadhouse, today (Sunday) from 4:00 to 9:00PM Eastern, ch. 61
Doc Watson the Cat plus the Marx Brothers (and antique television, still in use):
We appreciate the turnout this weekend for shows in upstate NY in weather that would definitely have cancelled shows in Tennessee!
Attempting to dig up two hours’ worth of positive classic bluegrass love songs for today’s Valentine’s Day Eve Truegrass show on SiriusXM Bluegrass Junction. It’s harder than you might think, but there’s one song on this 1975 record that qualifies and I’ll be playing it. 3:00 PM EST/noon PST
This is significant: former Conservative Canadian prime minister Stephen Harper echoes Mark Carney’s Davos speech. #Canada #MarkCarney
No Nativity scene is complete without a bagpiper and a giant goat! Happy Boxing Day, all, and a happy New Year ahead!
This was a European tour that ended abruptly in Bavaria, with multiple broken ribs and surgery for a ruptured spleen. Life is unpredictable! @jamiegangel.bsky.social
Coming soon! Looking forward to the release of our new single two weeks from today. This is the link to pre-save wherever you listen to music: clg.lnk.to/cj-UnderOver
Nashville, October 17th! We return to the world famous Station Inn, with special guests.
Update from north of the border, as reported by the Globe and Mail:
Seen in Grande Prairie, Alberta. I think I preferred the “Communists are trying to sap and impurity all of our precious bodily fluids” argument. @kikkiplanet.bsky.social
