"The (band's) third self-released record 'Jaybird and the Sparrow-Hawk' is loaded with hot doses of revivalist old-timey fare, documenting the sound of a band hitting its stride and having a heck of a good time doing it." --lawrence.com
"Lawrence string-banders The Prairie Acre shoot straight down the middle and hit a bullseye with their Bill Monroe and Stanley Brothers-informed bluegrass." -- The Lawrence Journal World
The Prairie Acre makes no apologies for being a band you can bring home to mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, your kids, and whoever else you have at home.
At a Prairie Acre show, you're likely to hear old-time sing-alongs about moonshine and jawbones, classic bluegrass tunes, as well as original numbers that sound like they could have been written in 1932. You'll hear tight vocal harmonies, driving rhythyms, high-wire banjo solos, and some mean fiddling.
Recent gigs include the Indiana Fiddlers' Gathering, as well as shows at the Milford Lake Old-Time and Bluegrass Festival outside of Junction City, Kansas; the Nebraska Bluegrass Festival; and the Emma Chase Cafe in historic Cottonwood Falls, Kansas. They've also placed third in the band contest at Free State Music Festival in Lawrence, Kansas, and their songs have gained airplay on several stations around the world.
Don't Quit Submitted by: Lexel and Me. When things go wrong as they sometimes will, When the road you're trudging seems all up hill, When the funds are low and the debts are high And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest, if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns, As everyone of us sometimes learns, And many a failure turns about When he might have won had he stuck it out; Don't give up though the pace seems slow-- You may succeed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out-- The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, And you never can tell how close you are. It may be near when it seems so far. So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit-- It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.... I needed a boost today as laid it down God scream this one mine Don't quit your almost done.Lessons Learned Children Grown Don't Quit the battles won.
