Emberglow at Ploughman’s

Emberglow at Ploughman's

We’ve almost become regulars at the Ploughman Taproom in Gettysburg. Well, not really, but we’ve been enough times that we’re recognized, at least. Dorothy was finishing up at work and came about 20 minutes into Emberglow’s first set (of two). This is the first time we’ve heard them and it was an enjoyable evening of music, cider, and savory pies. Dorothy’s housemate Anna and a few of her friends joined us, as well. We hadn’t decided ahead of time that we’d stay until they finished at 10:00 PM but we did and felt it was worth the trip. Emberglow is Julia as lead singer, Jeff on Guitar and sometimes singing lead, Keisha on violin and vocals, and Mo on cello and base (not at the same time, and I don’t know if she was singing, because she was mostly hidden behind the others).

I apologize for the poor quality of this photo. I had the ISO set to 3,200 and even so it was taken at f/4 and 1⁄25 second. Then I had to lighten it a bit, increasing the lighting artifacts due to the harsh and colored lighting. Their music was better than my picture.

Cathy and I took off work an hour early and drove up to Gettysburg today. We met Dorothy on the Square where we picked up burgers from Blue & Gray (recommended) and took them to Gettysburg Recreation Park to eat. It was a beautiful, if cool, evening. After dinner, we walked to the Michaux Brewing Company for an evening of music (and a little beer) with Emberglow. We last saw Emberglow at Ploughman’s on January 18. Michaux has more space, which meant we were better able to see them, especially when Mo stepped up to the mic and they all sang together. Emberglow is, from left to right, Keisha, Mo, Jeff, and Julia. They have five more gigs on the calendar (that I know of): 06/06 at Pilger Ruh; 06/20 at Thirsty Farmer Brew; 07/25 back at Michaux; 08/23 at The Garryowen; and 09/12 at Reid’s Winery and Cider.
