Pleasant Valley Music Signs Natural Drift

PVM — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 00:40:32 +0000

Good news! Placerville’s own Natural Drift has signed with Pleasant Valley Music and their new recording, She Planted the Evidence On Me, has JUST come out on Squirty Records! Of course, PVM’s good buddy George Goodell plays banjo with the ‘Drifters’, and the good folks in the group have been friends with us for years. So it feels right.

Here’s a sound clip for your listening pleasure.

This news comes at an especially good time, as the “Drifters” have not only just released their debut recording, but they were also chosen from scores of good California bands as a California Showcase act at the California Bluegrass Association’s Father’s Day Bluegrass Festival in Grass Valley, CA, which takes place June 12-15 2008. Congratulations to the hot new band in town, Natural Drift!

Surfed by the International Bluegrass Music Museum webpage today and found this lovely piece. Turns out the good folks there at the IBMM have dedicated this year’s ROMP festival to ole Jakey. Check out these screenshots from their page:
