Eddie Ducommun & Bluegrass For The Record will make a rare appearance at the Jake’s Brown Barn Bluegrass Festival this weekend, September 11-13. Here on YouTube, Eddie joins his sister Diana Donnelly to sing “Ruby’s Song” during a quiet moment in camp at a past Plymouth bluegrass festival. Brown Barn will have plenty of tickets at the gate. The Northern California Bluegrass Society is sponsoring the event this year to help out one of our favorite small bluegrass gatherings.
