**************************
Tapers notes: Great recording here, it's always fun seeing Julia and the band whether it's a Julia show or Bloodline show. The SBD portion was sent to me by Lukaz, which is much appreciated. Part of the intro and all of the last track are AUD only, I'm guessing he had stopped the recording after Purple Rain because the last song was not planned, but it was a pretty cool moment that still sounds great without the SBD mix.

The High 48s team-up with acclaimed Minnesota singer and songwriter Becky Schlegel, combining their high-energy modern bluegrass sound with Schlegel’s soulful singing and her sophisticated take on three-chords-and-the-truth country songwriting.

“We were Becky fans long before we started the band, but it took us a few years to work up the courage to ask if she had any songs for us,” said the 48s’ fiddler and mandolinist, Eric Christopher. And as it turned out, she did have some songs. Lots of them. The 48s recorded Becky Schlegel’s “Baltimore and Ohio,” which she penned with Nashville songwriter Craig Market, for their 2014 release Great Northern Railroad, and “Christmas Every Day” for 2016’s Holidays with the High 48s.

But each time they picked a song for the record, there were many more gems left on the cutting room floor — not enough room on the album. According to Christopher, “That was our first inkling that there might be more to this collaboration than borrowing a song every couple of years.” So, in the summer of 2023, Becky and the 48s released “Laramie,” their first collaborative single. “Laramie,” a Becky Schlegel original, tells a story of lost love set against the windswept plains of eastern Wyoming. It features Becky on guitar and lead vocals and the multi-talented Kenny Wilson on pedal steel guitar.

Tapers notes: Recording 9 of 9 from Recfest 2026. This closes out RecFest 2026 for me, I did not come back for Sunday. I would have liked to, but I was pretty burnt out due to the previous weekend of shows, and thankfully most of the bands I was interested in played on Saturday, so it worked out ok. Becky Schlegel has become of my favorites...I had seen her in previous years, but really became a super fan of her in 2026, and consider her a friend at this point. It's always a bonus when musicians you admire end up being really good people as well, as is the case with Becky. Looking forward to seeing her at Douglas Saloon again for her winter residency, those shows are always a fun time.

Led by wife & husband Kim and Quillan Roe, the band marries old-time sounds from barn-dances, fiddle pulls, and county fairs with the rock & roll passion of youth.

The Roe Family Singers mix original music and contemporary takes on old-time, traditional, and gospel tunes into one roiling & rollicking river of fresh yet familiar American music. Every performance raises a ruckus.

Tapers notes: Recording 5 of 9 from Recfest 2026. It's always great to see Becky and The High 48's, they compliment each other's sound perfectly. This was the first of their two sets, this one was a bit shorter as there was a ceremony honoring the founder of RecFest in between sets. But, they would come back later in the day and close out the night with a longer set.
