Barbara Lamb is one of Nashville's hottest fiddlers, and we're delighted to welcome her back to Barking Legs after an absence of several years. In case you're not familiar with her, she is a fiddler, composer, songwriter, singer and performance artist. Over her career, Barbara has performed and recorded with Asleep at the Wheel, The John Cowan Band, The Laura Love Band, Ranch Romance, The Sweethearts of the Rodeo, Lyle Lovett, Riders in the Sky, Peter Rowan, Trisha Yearwood, Tony Trischka—even author Robert Fulghum.

Who are Barbara's Hot Hands? How about guitarist Jeff Autry, well known in these parts as a key member of the John Cowan Band. On bass, she'll have the great Mike Bub, who spent many years anchoring the Del McCoury Band. Do you need banjo? Let's throw Bill Evans in the mix. The mandolinist shall remain a mystery for the moment, but I hope you're convinced this is likely to be the hottest Christmas pickin' to be found anywhere!
