As we get ready to celebrate another week of music, food, and friends near, far, and gone, I wanted to flash back to some images from the past.

PRFBBQ2012 Schedule and Tickets
It’s time for the 4th Annual PRF BBQ. This years event, PRFBBQ2012 is sure to please with something like 40 bands from around the world.
Thursday night kicks off with a free mellow party at kitchen sink.
Friday night brings seven bands to the stage at Quenchers Saloon.
The Two Main event days will be held at Helium. These two days are BYOB and BYOF, though there may be both of each available there. The music will start at noon and go very late each night.
We are holding this event in memory of John Grabski of the band Teeth who lost his battle with cancer this year. Plans were in the works to fly Teeth to this year’s BBQ and to have them perform. He was robbed of the chance to do this. Ben Grabski and Brent Mix from Teeth, joined by Chris Besinger, Jeff Fox, Brian Pennington and Liz Bustamante formed Miscreant Seeds to perform John’s songs and close out the BBQ Sunday night.

Bone and Bell Daytrotter Session
Your friend, and ours, Heather Smith of Bone and Bell made the journey down to Rock Island, Illinois last year to record a Daytrotter Session in their recording studio lovingly titled The Horseshack.
These daytrotters approach music, and recording in a new and interesting way. Located between cities on an often traveled path, The Horseshack has become a hot spot for a touring band to stop for a few hours. Daytrotter’s approach is simple, record 4 songs live to tape and move on. There are no overdubs, no studio trickery, no massive mixdown sessions, just an honest recording of musicians performing live.
Bone and Bell’s Daytrotter Session is no exception. Heather, alone with her baritone ukulele, ran through favorites Sweet Queen Regina, Death of The Caspian Sea, and The Lights. She then moved over to the piano for Counting Pennies.
Daytrotter is an advertising free membership site that costs a merely $2 a month. With that membership you get access to thousands of unique Daytrotter Sessions, unlimited HD streaming to your web browser or mobile device, free session downloads, and access to Daytrotter Barnstormer concert videos.
