So go find them there! It’s a small place, you should only have to ask one or two people if they’ve seen ‘em.

So yes, friends!  Please direct your attention towards Goodnight, Texas! We’re hoping the transition goes as smoothly as when Bell and other communications companies suddenly became Verizon and nobody batted an eye.  Remember that?

We put our pants on in the same manner that we do our touring. The East Coast Leg was a delight – thanks to all for coming out to see us, housing us, giving us tips (from now on, we will accept no wooden nickels.)

Now, we set our sights on the other Leg. On Sunday, August 7th at 7pm, we’re taking over Moheak Radio. Tune in!  We’ll play some deep tracks, some big hits, and jam some of our own jams right there in the studio. We are super psyched to play the Hotel Cafe in Hollywood, California on Monday, August 8 with our dear amigos Kelly McFarling and Jon Kirchner. Grab your tickets here, and come hang with us in various Western towns.

Here we come:
Tuesday, Jul 19 Charlottesville, VA @ Blue Moon Diner
Wednesday, Jul 20 Arlington, VA @ IOTA
Thursday, Jul 21 New York, NY @ Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2
Saturday, Jul 23 Shelburne Falls, MA @ Mocha Maya’s
Sunday, Jul 24 Albany, NY @ Hudson River Coffee
Tuesday, Jul 26 Somerville, MA @ Sally O’ Brien’s
Wednesday, Jul 27 Burlington, VT @ Skinny Pancake

Then Pat and I will hit the Studio to do some recording in Early August followed by West Coast dates!
More are coming in!

August 15 Reno NV @ Biggest Little City Club (w/ Justin McMahon)
August 18 Seattle, WA @ Rendezvous
August 26 San Francisco, CA @ The Apple Store Downtown (yes, The Apple Store)

Looking forward to seeing you! Brush your teeth for a change this time!

We had some help on our last few tunes at Eddie’s Attic in Decatur, GA on May 31: headliner, hometown girl and hell of a dame Kelly McFarling let us borrow her band. Jon Kirchner sat in on upright bass and Andrew Laubacher tickled the skins. That sounds like inappropriate behavior, Andrew.

Shalom Aberle manned the booth like a seasoned ship captain and did a stellar live stereo mix. Behold.

Our shows down south were stellar. Kelly McFarling and her band are
stellar. We got a speeding ticket.

What better way to make up for that $161 that we owe Hopewell, VA
than to get this priceless review in the SF Appeal!!
