I certainly hope you will be able to go! I saw them a year and a half ago (along with Alasdair Fraser, Natalie Haas, and Bruce Molsky) and they are AMAZING. I dragged my dad along to the show...he really wasn't in the mood to go, but afterwards he kept saying what a great show it was and how glad he was that he went. Martin was his favorite musician of the group.

In a moment of middle-age crisis, I dragged my daughter from Utah to California to see them! Had a great time, by the way, meeting some fellow Chiffers. The venue where we saw Hayes/Cahill was very small and had a nice intimate feel to it. Unfortunately, the place they're going to be in Ogden is a large theater and the one time I've attended a music event there (Lunasa) there were approximately 150 people in a venue that seats 750-1000. I'll definitely go Saturday if I can make the arrangements.
