Early 2012:

It's shaping up to be a busy year, which is what we like -- Mike playing solo fiddle and banjo shows in Ireland in March, Nathan with a solo banjo record in the works, a full Twig tour in the UK and France in April, and in the US in May and August, festival appearances, new Twig records -- joyousness abounds.

We've been having a ball collaborating with guitarist Steve Gunn, and figure some of the music we've made with him will see daylight soon in Black Dirt's Natch series and as part of a new Twig album-to-be.

And a 7-inch record of "Yellow Cat" b/w "You'll Never Miss Your Mama" is due out on Thrill Jockey this spring.

More new releases news to follow.

In the meantime, we still have  the vinyl edition of "Glory in the Meeting House," the gospel album we made with Charlie Parr. And we have a few copies of the cd edition released by House of Mercy -- get in touch quick if you'd like one.

Closer to home, we're honored to be continuing the monthly dance gig at the Floyd Country Store -- some months this will be the full Black Twig dance ensemble, usually with Sam Linkous and Sally Morgan adding bass, duo fiddle and dance-calling, and sometimes more of a wild Twigs & Friends free-for-all. We're also proud to continue our monthly bar gig at the Cellar, and regular shows at Gillies and up near Isak's home in West Virginia. Check the schedule page here or look for updates on the Black Twig Facebook page.

And we urge your attention (if you don't have six copies already) to IRONTO SPECIAL, our Thrill Jockey release of 2010. We've got vinyl and cd copies at shows, and downloads are available via Thrill Jockey's FINA site.

Finally, even though we sold all our copies of some earlier Black Twig Pickers releases (the ones listed out of stock here at Klang), you likely still can get a very reasonable deal on them here or here.
