That's right folkses! Things have finally settled down so that right off the bat into Oh-Ten we're going into the studio to turn out our first CD. So while you're toasting tall glasses and watching a ball drop, we'll be doing some celebratory prepping on our way up north.

We'll be heading up to Compass Studios up in Nashville where we'll be working with some truly incredible people and having a ball playing, recording, and doing what we love - eating up every minute of it I'm sure. Currently, we're expecting a CD release date sometime in early April.

We are super excited about things coming down the pike and hope you all will be too! We're so blessed to be surrounded by such great friends and fans and you can be sure we'll be keeping you all posted on details as we go. Stay tuned for more. And send an email to music@jubals-kin.com to be put on our special pre-order list...

Peace and love, - JK

Hey Everybody,

Just got back from a really great IBMA. Met some amazing new friends, caught up with some old ones, jammed like crazy, and Gailanne and Jeffrey had a blast on the kids program.

Also, Gailanne was featured in a special exclusive interview along with A.J. Lee and Kyle Ramey and Jubal's Kin was interviewed separately by Herb Sudzin for Sudzin Country.

Stay tuned for more on this, as well as pics and videos from the week.

Yes, yes, there is definitely a Jubal's Kin CD that will soon be in the making. It's a slow process but we can't wait to get it going.

If you'd like to be notified when our CD comes out, send an email to music@jubals-kin.com and let us know.

We just created a MySpace profile as a new way to contact us, hear new music, and stay updated on Kin-stuff. Check it out at: www.myspace.com/jubalskin

Also remember our facebook profile and fan page.

Just wrapped up a busy 4th-of-July weekend in Smithville where we had a blast at their festival and really played a ton of music. Along with other wins for us both, Gailanne walked away with the Grand Championship title on the OT fiddle.

Check out the links below to see how everything turned out and especially the wet finals in the firehouse.

The show, Emerald Coast Studios with Lucky Mud, features live and local acoustic music and will be airing every Saturday over the summer - always 6pm EST/5pm CST on WKGC.

Wahoo! School's out, air is warm, and the tent is packed. Or is the air out and tent warm? Whatever, we're finally set to hit the road starting tomorrow and we couldn't be more excited. We'll begin the whole escapade with Mt. Airy Fiddler's Convention (NC) and we won't come back until after Clifftop (WV) and Galax (VA) in mid-August.

Hope to see you all down the road (but not in the middle of it). -JK

At the official 2009 Florida State Fiddle Contest (that is held at the Florida Folk Festival) Gailanne won 1st in the Rustic/Old Time category playing the tunes Possum Up A Gum Stump (in D) and Peeler Creek. She also took home 2nd place in Twin fiddling with Jonathan Hodge (2009's 1st place winner in the Contemporary category). 

The contest was held during a horrible rain storm which created some complications. Due to safety concerns the power was turned off and the contest continued living-room style with the contestants playing acoustically in front of the judges. We had alot of fun and it is definitely a year we shall remember!

On September 22, I, along with the Rollins Jazz Ensemble, played a set with banjo virtuoso Béla Fleck on stage at Tiedtke Concert Hall, Rollins College. A few of the selections included a Flecktones tune, Bonnie & Slide, and Minor Swing.

Béla's stay as an artist-in-residence at the college also included other concerts and a preview showing of his and Sascha Paladino's new documentary Throw Down Your Heart.
