July saw volume 13, issue 5 of Flatpicking Guitar Magazine published with none other than The Toy Hearts’ Sophia Johnson featured on the front cover, interviewed in the magazine and transcribed on the CD.
The first female British bluegrass guitarist to be featured in the magazine, Sophia was delighted to be transcribed for such a prestigious magazine. “it’s been a lifelong ambition to be featured in FGM, I’ve subscribed to the magazine for years and it’s been kind of a bluegrass bible for me. To be featured alongside some of my guitar-playing heroes is such and honour”. Of the transcribed track, Fast Raging River, Sophia said “this is a really bluesy track, the transcription is of the intro and my solo. I was actually a little surprised when I got the transcription through - it looks far more complicated written down that it feels to play it!”
At Tri-State in Kendallville, IN The Toy Hearts from England will be playing the first set on Thursday Sept. 3 at 6:15p and Friday Sept. 4 at 6:00p. They will also play at 4:40-5:25p on Saturday Sept. 5. They will be at the Sacred Hearts nursing home in Avilla on Friday afternoon at 2p.
