Russell Moore and IIIrd Tyme Out at OCC

Russell Moore and IIIrd Tyme Out appeared at Oakland Community College on Friday, January 22, 2010.  The concert was at the Waterford Campus, a difficult venue for Bluegrass, which is usually scheduled for Royal Oak.  In spite of the location, the crowd was very good, and also receptive to the music.
We were so happy to [...]

This appearance marks the first time we had see the group perform, other than [...]

David Davis at Glass City
