Red Knuckles Adds Girl Singer!

[BradKlein]

It's not every day that a legendary Honky Tonk band like Red Knuckles and the Trailblazers adds a member. And a girl singer!?!? I'd understand it if she could play a 5 string electric mandolin, perhaps...

Oops. I THOUGHT that was a girl, but with a name like Jonnie Mitchell, who can even tell these days???

[Mike Bunting]

What photo?

[journeybear]

Ummm ... Just a special guest artist. A quick check of the video ought to help clear up any confusion ...



Man - you really got tooken in by their jocularity! With an outfit like RK&TTB, you should be prepared for some funnin'! I ain't knowin' for sure, but I think that's Erin McKeown.

What I want to know is, why these photos from the same FB page weren't mentioned on a supposedly mandolin-centric forum?!? (OK, maybe not the same page, but Tim O'Brien's.)

[BradKlein]

Whoever she is, she's no Sarah Jarosz, that's for sure.

[journeybear]

What's your point? What's one got to do with the other? Oh, never mind! Ain't no part of nothin'!

wtf???

[montana]

I thought she was great.

[journeybear]

If indeed this is Erin McKeown playing the role of Jonnie Mitchell, she IS great. She's one of the female singer-songwriters who exploded out of Massachusetts in the mid-to-late nineties, with a bit of an edge on most of them owing to being a heck of a lead guitarist as well. Here are some pics for comparison.



Something about the way this all went had me thinking the OP might have thought something like the refrain of this little gem ...

wtf???

I think KradBlein is responsible for some quite wonderful videos.

[stevedenver]

and what has the SJ video got to do with the jonnie Mitchell video, other than promotion?

'shes no sara jarosz" well, obviously, but its a mighty rude comment if its offered as a put down

am I missing something here?

was this in fact SJ appearing as Jonnie?

[BradKlein]

Yes it is, was, Sarah. My coy original post wasn't as clever as I'd thought, I suppose. Or perhaps I was intoxicated by how adorable she looks in Country drag! A great musician, super-talented and a pleasure on the couple of occasions that we've met. I'm a fan.

Brad, I got it, as soon as I saw the photo I said to myself " cool, thats Sara Jarosz".

Thanks for the post.

... c´mon... Your original post was clever enough. Toughy it out! Stuff like that puts the spice in the soup.

And yes, I´m a fan of Red and the boys and their "new singer". I especially like their rock routine.

I got it after your first hint. Great post ! Thanks.

I'm sure that was a last minute impromptu. Sarah was holding a sheet with the words. What a great sport she is.
