• David has played in Goin' Goin' Gone for more than 40 years. What you might not know is that he and Russ Beeker had a duo called The Beverly Brothers that played at Kramerbooks for more than a decade. David's solo act includes a few GGG tunes but mostly it's songs that he wrote that the band never played, songs that move inside his soul, songs he sings to his living room walls.&nbsp;
• Skip played a lot of drums and guitar in his life until having an epiphany about music. He had an experience of knowing he could play the blues, and he just had to do it. He says surrendering in music is being drawn to play and being able to say, "I am a musician." Then, you just go with what you play in the moment. He also says, "Music is available to everybody." And it's important to just start, and you can learn to play music like being in a conversation.

<h4>This month: </h4><h2>The Whereabouts </h2>
Four seasoned pros, one deep love of bluegrass. The Whereabouts bring decades of experience, gorgeous harmonies, and inventive arrangements to the Dietle's stage — the kind of show that's as heartfelt as it is unforgettable.
Jimmy Heffernan — Nashville session ace and one of the true masters of the resonator guitar, with 40+ years alongside Larry Sparks, Red Allen, Charlie Louvin, Joe Diffie, and Brad Paisley. Anne Luna — Powerhouse bassist, vocalist, and songwriter; a decade with The Hard Road Trio and 20+ albums with Alan Munde, Amanda Shires, and more. Beth Mead — 5-string banjo and a pure, compelling voice; 30+ years of performing, coauthor of "The Great American Songbook for Banjo" with Alan Munde. John Catterall — Mandolin, guitar, and a lifelong devotion to blended vocal harmony.
Come early, grab a seat, and let these four remind you why roots music still hits so hard.
