Schuylkill River Sojourn Show A Success
2007 Schuylkill River Sojourn
To Dave and your Mountain Folk Band...
Over the years, while planning for the
Sojourn, I've hired different groups to see what's out there by way
of talent. You got the folks up and dancing here in Pottstown,
which hasn't happened since. I'm looking forward to working
with you for future Sojourns!

BLUEGRASS ENSEMBLE PUTS ON
MEMORABLE SHOW
Rhonda Vincent & The Rage in concert with East
Side Dave and the Mountain Folk Band, 1/13/07
Reviewed by Susan L. Pena in The
Reading Eagle Newspaper Arts & Entertainment section, 1/15/07.
Singer/instrumentalist Rhonda Vincent and her band
perform intricate arrangements of traditional and original material
at the Scottish Rite Cathedral.
Opening for Vincent was Berks County’s own
East Side Dave and the Mountain Folk Band, giving a brief history of
bluegrass with songs from the Revolutionary War era, the Depression,
from Bill Monroe and contemporary styles.
Joining him were his son, Dane Kline, on bass;
fiddler Travis Wetzel, whose astounding performance of the “Orange
Blossom Special” was the evening’s highlight;
Mike Hertzog on banjo; and Bob Entler on mandolin.
"East Side Dave" Kline provided guitar and
vocals for a wonderful 30 minutes.
