Big Spike News
Feb. 5: Gearing up for our first show of the season Friday, March 2, 2012 at the Palmer Street Coffeehouse in Plattsburgh, NY. This one traditionally sells out, so plan on arriving early to get your seat. A great-sounding venue, with wonderful home-made refreshments.
Jan. 29: A new year often brings changes, and that's true for Big Spike as well. After over 10 years playing with Big Spike, Pete Langdell has decided to devote all his energies to building and promoting his fabulous new Rigel ABG (acoustic bass guitar) that he's been developing for the past several years. We're sorry to lose him but wish him the best of luck promoting his newest product.
We're happy to announce the addition of Matt Schrag to the band on guitar. Matt has filled in with Big Spike a number of times over the past couple of years, and is a wonderful guitar player, mandolin picker and singer. His voice blends flawlessly with the rest of the band and it would be hard to imagine a more seamless transition.
We'll have a bio for Matt available shortly, and look for new band pictures soon as well!
