Sounds Like
Try and imagine a combination of the The Beatles, Bob Dylan, The Greatfull Dead, REM, Bluegrass Cardinals, and Greenday. That doesn't exactly cover it, but you can tell that these guys are a unique combination!
They jump up on the stage and the music just seems to flow out of their fingers! Yea, they hear it backstage at the festivals, "Hey, who are the old people?"
But then they take the stage and old and young alike are facinated by the sound and can't help but get up and dance! Don't miss hearing this band on stage!
For more than 12 years Michael Meade, Ed Dubell and Karen Dubell have worked together in several bands. Playing everything from Country Music, Bluegrass, Rock and Roll, and even were the backup band for Mr. 50's and the Yakety Yaks (yup, they were the yakety yaks!). This time around they have taken control themselves and have a great sound!
They mix the energy and excitement of bluegrass with the passion and power of Rock and Roll. The result is a "get up on your feet and dance" experience!
Their CD is just bursting with great music, with the poetic lyrics, and rhythm of Michael Meade, steady backbeat of Karen's bass and the Hot Mandolin licks from Ed. It's all original tunes, that shows how much heart this band has.
Just stopping by to say hi and send words of encouragement. Hope that all is going well and your weekend is the best ever!

Hello my friend, sorry that I have not been here in so long. I have had a few things going on in my life that has taken me away from my goals. My father had a stroke last November and has been living with me but he is doing great and I will be taking him back home to Kentucky tomorrow. I had another scare with breast cancer, All is well and I am still cancer free. So I am back and ready to get back to work on my music.
The only way to pass any test is to take the test and remember
it takes as much stress to be a success as it does to be a failure so, when you cannot make up your mind between two evenly balanced courses of action, choose the bolder.
If you love and miss THE BAND, here's your chance to experience the next best thing! The THE BAND Band has been lauded by critics as being "as close as it gets to the real thing," performing timeless classics such as "The Weight", "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down", and “Up On Cripple Creek” from The Band's legendary repertoire.
It’s been 40 years since The Band played at Woodstock, and over 32 years since their farewell concert, The Last Waltz. But while The Band may be long gone from the stage, The THE BAND Band is the perfect remedy for Band-starved fans everywhere. Come on out and catch the show!
Hello! I just wanted to stop in and say hi as I have not been able to get much done on Myspace for a long while. Hope that all has been well and things are going GREAT! And rememnber that You don't get harmony when everybody is singing the same note. :-) Have a very Merry Christmas! Rhonda Kaye
Hey, After reading your About Me, Y'all sound GREAT for Old People, hahaha. Just kidding. Y'all do sound GREAT. Take care. Best wishes always from Alabama.
When we question why we find ourselves in particular circumstances or situations, oftentimes, we need look no further than our own thoughts, words, and actions. The thoughts that we give place to, the words we speak, and ultimately the resulting actions we take, all serve to form the reality of what we experience in life. There is however, another prerequisite to altering our condition. In order to exact a permanent change in the way that we think, we must first have a change of heart. Once that has been accomplished, everything else will naturally flow from it...New thoughts will be established, and reflected in our words and actions...the end result being a life that has been forever transformed. "The game of life is a game of boomerangs. Our thoughts, deeds and words return to us sooner or later with astounding accuracy." ~Florence Scovel Shinn~ Remember to always live your dream! Your friend always Rhonda Kaye
