Good afternoon,

As we wind down our CD release tour with this final week of shows I would love to take the time to thank all of our support team. Our booking agent Eric who keeps our calendar full; our publicist Melissa who works hard to introduce us to the general public; our social media and cyber pr ladies Ariel, Hillary, and Jill who help us with the enormous task of keeping up with our Facebook, Myspace, Blogs etc.; Donald our acoustic manager who is helping to build our long term career in music; Brian, Ben and Lindsey at Authentic Records who do EVERYTHING; Jeff and Kevin in radio promotions; Jen G in shipping annnnd receiving, who holds down our Authentic Records office fort; Bev our business manager who keeps the boat afloat even in severe weather; Angela our tour manager who keeps the bus wheels rolling ever forward; and Skyler our faithful front of house engineer who works harder than anyone I know. Without this GREAT team we would be screwed to put it simply. Thank you all so much for all of your hard work.

That being said, with all these cogs working together every once in a while the machine breaks down which is the case for tonight’s show at Indian Hills Community College. The show is not open to the public despite what the huge front page article says. Way to go Melissa!!!! No one told you SO you must be an Indian Hills student or Alum to get in this evening. Very sorry.

Have you seen our campy cliche new video?

Thanks for a great Spring!

Lots of love,

QOTW: Did we miss anywhere on our tour we need to come play?

6 months ago, when we booked our Almanac CD release show at People’s Court we didn’t know that Elton John, Great White, & Cross Canadian Ragweed would be playing in Des Moines the same night. Nor did we know that AC/DC and Ani Difranco would be playing the same weekend. That is alot of music and show competing for smaller and smaller amounts of expendable entertainment cash. Yes it is true those artists only come to town occasionally and we will be playing here a few times this summer. But you only celebrate the release of a record once. I would hate for you to miss it. Find info for the show on our website or our facebook page. Please spread the word. I heard Elton, Ani, and Angus are all showing up and going to play a few songs with us. . .

Hey All Y’all! We are “on the road” again! I am using quote marks since we are only out for three days this time and compared to the 6000 miles we drove last month, these are kids games. I am happy to report that we survived the first leg of our Almanac tour, starting with the Western and South Western United States. We also played a bit in Texas. (which i didn’t count in the previous tally, because they consider themselves their own country). We returned home with only minor scrapes, bruises and major sleep deprivation. Thanks to all of you who came out, as always, and made us feel like we were on top of the world. Thanks also for purchasing our new record and keeping our bus full of fuel and and fully maintenanced. Not to mention keep our bellies full and our bodies sheltered. continue reading »
