The Goodtime Stringband had the pleasure of performing for Derek and Juliah’s wedding this past weekend at the North Country Conservation and Education Center in Bethlehem, NH. What a fun bunch of folks! Bluegrass music and an ice cold keg of Rainbow Red Ale was a perfect compliment to the festivities.

In case anyone ever doubted it - that old wooden barn floor of the Rock’s Estate was made for dancing!!!
