New dates for 2022!
Looking forward to the SWEET WEEKEND on July 9th! This will be the opening of an exhibit about my great grandfather “Pop” Sweet- famed fiddler and square dance caller. The BSweet Band will be there to kick off the opening. See details below on that date.
Throughout the pandemic we have played online shows and are grateful to all who have joined in the fun. It certainly was a different way to meet but all the same, it seemed like a lifeline. At the request of friends & fans in far-flung places we will continue doing an occasional tunes from home online. If you would like us to send you a link to join our next one, just send Lara or myself your email address. (see next online event below)
