Hey Folks. The internets are not the fastest in the area from where I pick it up, hence the significant delays on the posting of the videos. Here are a few more of the bluegrass band, Twenty-Three, from Saturday Jan 30, 2010 in South Haven, Michigan at The Foundry Hall. Enjoy!










Twenty-Three is a band that is based out of Niles, MI, but the players come from both Michigan and Indiana. I am still trying to track down a website for them. I'll put it up once I get a hold of an address.


Thanks for reading!

Lots of sleep and a bowl of oatmeal with dried cranberries can start a day just right. I was hoping to get some of the fine artistic coffee over at Julia's Cafe in beautiful downtown South Haven MI, but I had a choice between shots of a frozen-over pier or Chicago-roasted Intelligentsia coffee at Julia's Cafe. Well, the shots of the nature won the competition. Coffee from The Flying J will have to do the trick.





Everyone should certainly check out the fine music that Andru Bemis crafts in his spare time when he isn't running the Foundry Hall.

The band Twenty-Three has been playing these parts for roughly 11 years, mostly around Niles, Michigan, I hear. Anyway, we'll put up some fantastic videos of them in just a short while. Stay tuned to this here blog for more.

A nice cluster of photos from this evening's show at The Foundry in South Haven, Michigan.





The Foundry Hall run by Andru Bemis and his trusty crew, is a great place to play a show in western Michigan. Chris' voice tonight was booming and dynamic without any assistance from electronic technology.





This bluegrass band is from Niles, Michigan, they are called 'Twenty-Three'. They were some mighty fine pickers. It was a real good time. I think the bassist stole the show, but the whole band was virtuosic, not a weak link among them. I kept hearing that Twenty-Three recently opened up for The Goldmine Pickers at the Foundry last year.





So there you have a few photos from tonight. Now I am off to go under the covers for the evening to grab a few hours of sleep before picking up Julio in South Bend tomorrow from the South Shore Line. Julio's primary band, The Sometimes Family, had a show at Martyr's in Chicago, IL tonight. He took the Amtrak to Chicago this morning from St. Joseph, Michigan.

Twenty-Three apparently do not have a web presence at this time. One of the guitarists did indicate that they play a lot of the summer festivals in the area when things get warmer.


Enjoy!
