Cathy and I left work early and drove up to Gettysburg this afternoon. We went to Dorothy’s house first and then a little later to downtown Gettysburg where Dorothy and Andrew would be playing this evening at Ploughmans Taproom. There were to be two sets, with Dorothy on stage by herself for the first and then with Andrew joining her for the second. She played two covers (Miner’s Lullaby, by Utah Phips and All My Tears, by Emmylou Harris) but the majority of her songs were original. I recorded all of the first set but only a couple from the second, when I took a few pictures instead. This image is a frame from a song called Lemon Creek, which we really enjoyed.

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.
