Now, after a very successful, sold out Holiday Party in December, the Fiddling Cricket has booked a few more shows at Mission City Coffee. You can show your support for the Cricket by turning out for these shows, and letting Dick Brundle know how much you want the series to return. There are still seats available for this Saturday's January 20th show featuring Dorian Michael and Kenny Blackwell (excellent acoustic guitar and mandolin duo,) and for the February 2nd show featuring The Boulder Acoustic Society (acoustic traditions from jazz, swing, Americana to classical.) Both groups have played in the series before and have been well received.
