This August, Caleb Stine and good friends The Honey Dewdrops are going on tour together. They will be playing intimate spaces in The Mid-Atlantic Region, from living rooms to back yards, town theaters to coffee shops. Don’t worry, there are several shows open to the public. The whole thing came about in order to play a special set of music designed just for this tour. We don’t want to give away the surprise, but they’ll be playing their own original music as well as joining together to cover a set of songs they love.

Here is a list of the public performances:

Saturday, August 11, 8:00pm — Baltimore, MD, The Creative Alliance
Tuesday, August 14, 7:00pm — Broadway, VA, Plan B
Friday, August 17, 8:00pm — Berkeley Springs, WV, Fairfax Coffee House
Saturday, August 18, 8:00pm — Oakland, MD, Our Town Theater!

Caleb Stine has spent the last couple years working as Producer on ellen cherry’s latest album, ‘Please Don’t Sell The Piano’. At long last, the album will be performed and released at An Die Musik in Baltimore (409 N. Charles St.) on Saturday, March 31 and Sunday, April 1. For more information visit ellencherry.com.

Hello,

My favorite musical experiences are the jams and song swaps I get to share in with kindred spirits around the country. The best music I’ve heard has come to life at camp outs, on porches, in living rooms and kitchens, usually late at night, when the evenings gig is a distant memory, and the soul is flowing freely. It’s these laid back sessions that give space for a brand new song someone’s trying out, a group jam on an ancient fiddle tune, or a rousing sing-a-long of some classic you haven’t heard in years.

The music at these kinds of things is always acoustic and always personal. That’s been the spirit of the concert series I started a few years ago and call, Round The Mountain. It’s People music, Folk music, Roots music. Whatever the name, you know it when you hear it, and that’s the kind of music I’ve tried to cultivate once a year at The Creative Alliance. I think of it as a chance to hang out with some of my favorite players and listen to what they feel like playing. There’s always collaboration and cross-pollination, some sing-a-longing, and usually it goes longer than it ‘should’, but the way I look at it, that’s the best thing you could hope for.

Round The Mountain is my living room jam and I want all of my friends there to experience it. I get to introduce beautiful musicians to Baltimore, and the mix is infectious. Everybody loves on everybody. The audience gets to hear folks they’ve never heard of, and maybe wouldn’t get a chance to otherwise. And the musicians get a wonderful crowd of open and generous folks. Plus, this year, the Creative Alliance has added a Marque Lounge in the front where we can sing and dance until the wee hours after the show itself wraps up.

It all happens on Saturday, November 12th at 8pm, at The Creative Alliance near Patterson Park, in Baltimore, The Greatest City In America.

The ticket price is distributed equally between all of the performers, and I think it’s about the best deal you’ll get for your dime. Check out these performers: The Honey Dewdrops, Hugh Campbell, Anna Roberts-Gevalt, Elizabeth Laprelle, Leah Weiss, and Gary Wright. And get your tickets early. You can do that through The Creative Alliance. Over the phone, at 410-276-1651. In Person, at 3134 Eastern Ave. Or online at, http://www.creativealliance.org/events/eventItem2786.html

Hope to see you there!

Cheers,
Caleb

Slowcoustic just posted Caleb Stine singing the traditional tune ‘Red Rocking Chair’. Mournful and reflective, the recording features the banjo playing of Washington D.C. based John Bolten.

Slowcoustic: Caleb Stine plays ‘Red Rocking Chair’

“Woody Guthrie Dreams” takes place in the final moments of the iconic American folk singer’s life. Guthrie, a hard-bitten Dust Bowl Balladeer, sign painter, social activist, WWII veteran, union man and author of “This Land is Your Land” spent the final decade of his life bedridden in a psychiatric ward. In the play, Guthrie dreams his way back through life, revisiting moments of his own biography, playing songs across the nation with Pete Seeger, Cisco Houston and Lead Belly. Guthrie is swept up in a whirlwind romance with the love of his life, Marjorie, a Martha Graham dancer. He battles his own fears, insecurities and a long debilitating illness, all the while throwing himself into a wild attempt at creating a better world, one sung chorus after another.

In the play’s New York City debut, Caleb Stine takes the role of Cisco Houston, a fellow musician and adventurer in Woody’s Hard Travelin’. The play runs from September 8 through October 1, 2011, Thursday through Sunday, at The Theater For The New City, an Off-Broadway house recognized for breaking new American plays into the theater world.
