Feb-9-2012 - Busy day for the ToneBlazers...we want to thank WCYB-TV for having us on their lunchtime broadcast and also thanks to Tim White for inviting us over to his house for an interview for Tim's bluegrass radio show.  The folks at the Pickin' Porch were a great crowd as usual.  Looking forward to going back another time.

Band Review:  Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the Toneblazers concert at The White Horse in Black Mountain last night.  Loved the diversity of the setlist and the relaxed stage presence...and of course the masterful pickin' and singin'.  Especially like Reuben and Copperhead Road, that kicked things up to a "whole nother level". Looking forward to hearing y'all again soon.
