The Holler: Mark Burns Memorial

2/21/15
Rome Area History Museum
Rome, GA

Manning's father passed away unexpectedly the week before.  We'd been scheduled to open for Strung Like A Horse at the Brewhouse, but they cancelled due to the threat of winter weather.  We'd already committed to this thing, and now had a chance to take part in all of it.  Muletide Perkins Trio opened, we played a few songs as Browngrass (with Chris Brown), then a full-blown Holler set.  Lots of people came out, drank a lot, whooped it up.  More of an Irish wake than anything.  My recording gear got knocked over, so our set didn't make it.  Oh well.  That's when you know it was a great performance.
