Bluegrass Tribute to John Hartford In Brooklyn, New York between 20 and 30 local bluegrass musicians and John Hartford fans are putting on a tribute concert January 4, 2008, the first Friday after the 70th anniversary of his birth. We all love John Hartford's music and will be performing only his original material. The concert will be held at the Jalopy Theatre in Red Hook, Brooklyn, from 8 to 11 p.m. The house band, the Steam-Powered Water Taxi Boys will back up most of the performers, though many will also do duets, solos, or bring their own bands up for a couple numbers. Genesee Beer will be a sponsor of the event. Jalopy is at 315 Columbia Street, Brooklyn.
Hartford at the Hall of Fame Country music superstars celebrated their heroes with joyous music and warm embraces during the Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum's annual medallion ceremony on Sunday, May 7. Jamie Hartford, John Loudermilk and Shawn Camp paid tribute to Glen Campbell, as the newest inductees to the Country Music Hall of Fame were honored by some of today's biggest names in the genre. Jamie Hartford led the Medallion All-Stars through "Gentle on My Mind," the classic song written by his father, the late John Hartford, that became closely associated with Campbell. Hartford, who displayed some hot guitar licks during the song, remarked about how he remains in awe of Campbell's ability as a guitarist and singer.
