I started playing a weekly spot in my pals' bistro a year or so ago and they started billing it as Cams & Friends. It never really sat right with me as my two pals that run the place sit in with me every week, so we finally came up with a band name and it feels great! Funny how a name can make such a difference! I've thrown up a quick website for now. North Country WintersLast night we had a practice out on the porch in the sunshine and it was amazing. It's a dream come true for me to have a picking porch! Can anyone get the song whence the name comes?

That's a good name. Wagon Wheel? Hope you aren't going to be getting people down

Good name, Cams and very nice looking website! I don't know the origin of the name, but it's good to have a backstory

A far better name than any band I've been in Cams. Never liked any of them. The names that is! I got the Wagon Wheel reference too - also one of my faves when Nuffsed 's band manages to actually get a gig! All the best with the band! Keith PS have a nice long

That was fun ocarolan Quite a different pace from our version. It's one we like to bring the audience into if it feels like an audience participation night (they don't always!).

Congrats cams, the name goes with your shown location. A few years ago I was in a band for the first time in my life and aged over 60. As most of the band were post 60 and our oldest member was 89 we appeared as "The Misspent Youth Orchestra".
