Bluegrassy

So it was recently our ward talent show and the Spare Tires had another chance to grace society with our unpolished and slightly out-of-tune bluesy licks. :)

Just gettin' warmed up:)

We decided to do "Man of Constant Sorrow," from O Brother, Where Art Thou?" (and yes, that's the crowd reaction we got, too;).

Mando.

Please check out beck's beard! (And of course, his and Phill's Manpris.:)

Beck on vocals, Chris and I on harmonies, guitar and mando. Steph on violin, Phil on banjo and Steve on drums. I looove me some bluegrass!

52 New Things: The Spare Tires First Gig (31 to go)

I Will Wait by Mumford & Sons Cover

It was my bluegrass band's first gig!  It was pretty nerve wracking, because we aren't really a full blown band, we just like to get together and jam every Sunday.  We got this gig lined up though, and it was really fun.  It was pretty rocky, but for it being our first gig with no set up or dress rehearsal, I think it went decently:)  There are a million things I want to do differently, and we're already so excited for our next show!

The Spare Tires

Sooo, bluegrass:)  Some friends and I started playing around a couple of months ago.  We put together a few songs for our ward fireside and jam every Sunday night.

Now we have a couple of gigs lined up.  We're excited!

Yay!  Jamming outside on a Sunday night.

Me and Lee.  Now that Lee's taking off to Philmont, I'll be on mandolin duty.

Ryan playing his spoons from the hammock.  Like a boss.

We had a little audience:)

The Spare Tires. We have fun:)
