The Drew Emmitt Band will be playing at City Nights at Capital City Bar and Grill on Saturday March 24 at 8 PM. Tom Irwin wrote a nice piece about Drew and the band here. According to Irwin's article, this tour will feature Emmitt breaking away from his traditional mandolin playing and instead taking up the electric guitar.
For those of you who don't know Drew Emmitt, he played mandolin for the bluegrass/newgrass inspired rock jam band Leftover Salmon for many years. Leftover Salmon has been on hiatus for a few years, and Drew's been touring with his own band.
Internet Archive has a nice collection of Drew Emmitt Band, if you want to check the band out before Saturday night.
Local bass hero Bill Laymon (New Riders of the Purple Sage) will open for Drew with Luke Turasky's Bourbon Bluegrass Band.
