Storyhill Fest Midwest--Labor Day weekend!
Make your plans early for the last big weekend of the summer! Famed folk duo Storyhill host Storyhill Fest Midwest on September 4th and 5th on the beautiful grounds of the Presbyterian Clearwater Forest Camp in Deerwood, MN. This year's festival boasts an all-star line-up including Red House artists Danny Schmidt, Meg Hutchinson and yes.... Storyhill. Rounding out this stellar group of singer/songwriters is Carrie Elkin, Anais Mitchell, Justin Roth and more!
We are very pleased to announce that we've signed iconic blues-roots band Hot Tuna to the label. Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady formed Hot Tuna in 1969, when taking a break from touring with Jefferson Airplane. Since then the band has been performing their unique mix of acoustic and electric blues, cultivating an extreme fan following. In addition to Jorma and Jack, the band includes mandolin virtuoso Barry Mitterhoff and legendary drummer Skoota Warner. Hot Tuna just wrapped up a tour with Steve Earle and is going into Levon Helm's studio now to record their first studio album of new material in 20 years. Hot Tuna's album is scheduled to be released in early 2011.
"We are so excited about signing with Red House Records and joining their fine roster of artists," Jorma says. "The label promotes true freedom of expression."
