Dangermuffin will be performing at Camel on Thursday, June 6. The group’s 2012 release “Olly Oxen Free” just made it back to #1 on the HGMN radio chart after almost a year since the release.
Dangermuffin is on tour in support of their recent release, Olly Oxen Free, which spent 18 weeks at #1 on the HGMN Radio Charts (above music greats Mumford & Sons, Little Feat, DMB, Grace Potter). Olly Oxen Free was voted #1 Album of the Year by Homegrown Music Network and by the city of Charleston, tying for first with Shovels & Rope’s O Be Joyful. Spring tour is going great so far, kicking it off to a nearly sold out show at StageOne at Fairfield Theatre in CT, then Keller Williams and Tony Furtado joining Dangermufffin during their set at Suwannee Springfest, and a sold out show with Tab Benoit in Athens. Last weekend, Dangermuffin was one of the headliners of Rooster Walk and then played Pisgah Brewing with Leftover Salmon. Lots of exciting stuff going on!

May 30, 2013
I cannot even begin to thank all of you who came out to the birthday party last night. I was surprised by last year’s turnout, but I couldn’t have been prepared by the amount of people who showed up this time. The place was packed with people enjoying music and I couldn’t have asked for a better crowd.
Major thanks go out to the Camel for once again hosting the event.
Thank you to Anousheh for starting the night off right, Long Arms for making everyone get up and move and Horsehead for keeping the party going to the late hours. Also, thank you to James, Ward and John for the pre and mid-show entertainment.
Thank you to Matt Klimas for another amazing poster.
Thank you yet again to The Cheats Movement for taking photos of the event. #weseeit
Thank you to Friday Cheers, The Camel, Steady Sounds, Blanchard’s Coffee and Triple Stamp Press for donating all the great prizes for the raffle.

And lastly, I’d like to thank all of you who read the blog, retweeted links, spammed your friends on Facebook, sent messages about how excited you were and everyone who showed up for a show when they could have been doing something else that evening. It seriously meant the world to me.
Now to plan for Year 4!

Luray at the Camel
May 9, 2013
Luray is the indie-banjo creation of Shannon Carey. With production help from brother Sean Carey (of S. Carey and Bon Iver), Luray’s unique sound creates strange and lovely bedfellows of different genres. Banjos, vibes, pedal steel, and ambient vocals make up this bluegrass-trained songwriter’s new and vibrant approach to making music. The end result is somewhere between Iron & Wine and Emmylou Harris. Debuting last summer, Luray has played at the Rock & Roll Hotel, Jammin’ Java, and the Black Cat in DC, as well as CMJ festival, Cameo Gallery, and Pianos in New York City.
Luray makes its Richmond debut at the Camel on Saturday, May 11 with The Low Branches and Nick Coward and the Last Battle. Richmonders Brian Cruse on bass and CJ Wolfe on drums (who play in numerous other groups including The Larri Branch Agenda, The JSmith Trio & Sueños Gitanos) will be performing with Luray.
