“Up On Cedar Ridge”

We are very proud and happy to soon share with you our first  CD, “Up On Cedar Ridge”, named after the place we met and started playing music together.  “Up On Cedar Ridge” includes an variety of “Americana” style music with seven originals, two covers and one Public Domain tune.  This is a “local” CD arranged and produced by Tom Scott and Leslie Tift.  Included on this CD are some of the best Siskiyou County, Northern California musicians.  With sincere gratitude we recognize the following musicians:  Tristan Clarridge, Diane Strachan, Sam Cuenca, Nathan Johnson, Bruce Anthony, Billy Shaver and David Rotermund.  In addition, we especially thank our talented recording engineer, Terry Lawhon at Blue Dragon Studios in Mt Shasta, CA. Without him we would have had to travel “far and wide” to make this happen.  bluedragonimages.com
