Falcon Ridge Most Wanted 2004 Announcement

The results are in courtesy of the WA9 Message Board:

1st - Jeffrey Focault

2nd - Carla Ulbrich

3rd - Tie between George Wurtzbach & Terrence Martin

I guess George keeps with the "make them laugh, they'll want more" genre...

This also kills the Budgiedome string of having someone play at the 'dome and getting in. Of course, I think that was up at "1", so it wasn't much of a string.

What about that old Canadian band that used to play there, Moxy... Moxy... Fr�something.... They were cool, back in the day. ;o)

sigh . . . .they're on my most wanted for EVERYTHING list.

Big congrats, Jeff!!

Oh! let's boycot the hiatus! Maybe if we ignore it and refuse to acnowledge it, you know, go to fruvous concerts in spite of the hiatus, buy new fruvous albums, it'll fade out of existence.

dude, that would be so awesome!

Someone needs to take over FDC, and start posting concert information and news as to what the fru-lads are up to, so they cannot duck under the radio anymore. maybe if we start announcing concerts, the lads will just show up to play!

Perfect!Dec. 5, Meriwether post pavilion, Moxy Fruvous, LIVE IN CONCERT!!

And for THE FIRST TIME EVER . . .Moxy Fruvous at the Rialto Theatre in Tucson, Arizona!�

Arizona is one of the handful of great states that Fruvous has never graced with their presence. . .but now, due to such high demand (something like five people who have heard of them here!), they'll be playing . . .LIVE!

��

SWEEEEEEET!! I likey your tour schedule! Don't forget the TLA in Philly though. :)

we gotta let them see this somehow!

I figured 4 nights in Bryn Mawr covered Philly.� But we can add a TLA date in March.����

CORRECTION Please note:� December 17 and 18 are both at the Iron Horse.�� December 19 is Club Passim, Boston.� December 20 is Rochester, venue to be announced.� We love our Rochesterian Fruheads!�

Negotiations are underway with the Tralf in Buffalo for December 28.�

january, of course, will include a stop at the vic in chicago, an appearance on wxrt, and a house concert in the living room of carey farrell and neal shankman.

not to mention their harmony singing, songwriting, and performance workshops at the old town school of folk music, and dave and murray's guest appearances with kevin o'donnell's national quartet.

*starts saving money for the Chicago weekend NOW*

Gee, and I was wondering where they'd gotten to.� Wait a minute ...

*looks under radio*

Nope.� Not under mine, anyway.� If they're under yours, by all means drag them out and make them sing for us!��

Dude, sorry, but if fruvous is under my radio, I'm keeping them all to myself. :)

Dude, totally not cool. I'll be in Rochester for the Philly dates and in Philly for the Rochester dates!!! Switch 'em up!

Sorry, but Fordy insists on being at home for the holidays. You'll just have to postpone your winter break.�����

However we are pleased to announce TWO Rochester shows, at Milestones, 8 pm and 11 pm on December 20.� The 11 pm show will be FREE, but please bring a donation of shelf-stable foods for the food bank or an unwrapped new toy to make a needy child's holiday brighter.� Thank you for your support!�

Don't forget the return of Moxy Fruvous to the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival for a special Saturday night full-length headlining set, with an after-party at the Budgiedome!

Again? They played the budgiedome last year. Do we really want them back?

well, as long as we don't have to have that David Morreale guy back.

Oy, hello deathly insipid and boring songwriting...

But but but.... I have my cousin's wedding on the 20th!!! :o( :o( :o(!!!

After their triumphant February Westcoast/Southwest tour, the lads will be returning to the studio to record their best album to date. The widest spectrum of styles, melodies, harmonies, and musianship, paired with political savvyiness, irrepressible cheekiness, heartbreaking poingancy, and just plain romping good fun will satisfy even the most finicky fan.

An end of May worldwide CD release bonanza, with satellite linked parties joining in on the fun, will kick off the summer season.

Perhaps you feel that way and you are entitled to your opinion but you know that he is also a friend of Carey and me and to put it like that is simply rude.

i love you, gordon.

That's creepy. Do I have to thwap you too, Carey?

Loving me is creepy?

I'm creepy but that makes loving me a virtue.

oOloving him is easy cos he's creepified.Oo
um, ok, no.

Well, my apologies, then.

Very well then.

In an effort to accommodate the bereft Rai, during the last week of February --�before the lads head into the studio to record their newest CD --�they will play 1 engagement at RIT and 1 engagement at SUNY-Buffalo.� Dates and times TBA.

Needless to say, bassist Murray Foster is taking a temporary leave of absence from Great Big Sea (FruCon dates excepted).� He expects to reappear with�GBS following the summer 2004 festival circuit.�

This is making me drool. . .Maybe it's like visualization.� "If you believe it, they will come!"

Also, included on the CD will be a secret track called "you insensitive clod" featuring THREE lucky�Fruhead guest musicians!� Fruvous has started a contest for all the fruheads.� Tell them in 50 words or less why you would like to be on�Fruvous's best album to date.��Points are awarded for creativity!

�

Apology accepted

but you SHOULD go, all the kewl kids'll be doing it.

The Bottom Line is closed for good as of a few days ago.� I'd suggest BB King's or my place.

Dude, 4 night extravaganza @ the Point, might as well make it a sleep over!� I���the point.� I just saw Peter Mulvey for the first time there.� Now, would there be a stop at the Trocadero to throw eggs?

i've often thought i need to store a cot and a few changes of clothes at the point. :D

the lads are saddened that the Bottom Line has closed, but they're glad they got to play a final engagement there this past December. i'm sure for future tours they'll be delighted to play in your living room.

I just found out that the Kennedys aren't playing FRFF this year. They will still be there as fans though. They might do a gig at their manager's booth.

Oh... this was 12/2003.� So who taped?� C'mon... lets share!� ;)

I got a big kick out of their 'set' outside their vending tent a couple years ago.� Sadly the neighboring vendors didn't appreciate it quite so much.

Why not?

Somehow they are always there. Maybe Falcoln Ridge is going to go for more variety this year cause of the criticism of last years anniversary show.

There is no info on the official website. Every year they seem to get later and later with info. Not complaining,� just hoping the festival won't go� on� hiatus like Winterhawk has.

Last year the crowd was as big as the farm could handle.If it gets any bigger they may need another place to have it which would be a shame as the farm is a great place for a concert.

that's horrible. :-(

not that i'll be there anyway. *growl*

Whats horrible? That the Kennedys aren't playing?

They just weren't invited :-(

They won't go on hiatus.� Already the dates have been confirmed for 2004 as it is.

As for moving the site, that is anyone's guess.� None of us are "insiders".
