Local news: Out’n the Cold stays hot
I recently spoke with Red Swain, banjo picker for local bluegrass/country/rock/eclectic band Out’n the Cold. He says the band will be doing a gig at North Carolina State’s Darton arena in Raleigh on Sept. 5. They will be playing for the North Carolina State opening home game. Swain says the band has received over 7,500 hits on their MySpace page and have sold over 350 of their latest CD. Drummer Martin Parker says that 350 is about at the ‘cardboard’ level. Next, they’ll hit aluminum and eventually gold when they sell their first 100,000 copies.Speaking of Martin Parker, Swain says he will be going on the road with country star Patty Loveless for about two months. Sounds like a good gig to me. Hey Martin, does she need a good bass player?
