Robbie Fulks (Hangar)

Touring in support of his new album Upland Stories, Robbie brought with him a band of Nashville giants Shad Cobb, Todd Phillips and Pete Finney to an appreciative but sparse crowd. Sigh.

Greg Klyma seemed genuinely awestruck to be opening for one of his heroes. I know he converted a new fan here. Kevin Maul provided solid backup.

Dry River Wilderness

Wandered into the Dry River Wilderness up Rocky Branch to a traction mandatory Mount Isolation trail to Davis trail junction. Spent a pleasant starry evening and hiked out to browse the Vintage Fret Shop and play pool at the Ashland Common Man before the rain started.
