Festy Week!

Last week we were all up in amongst IBMA.  Milk Drive was a highlight.  You gotta check these dudes out.  Here they are in the Acoustic Trail room.  They rocked a delicious version of Ween's Your Party.  This is not that, this is Glass Eye, I think.



We love these guys.  Also saw a band, Roustabout, that I loved.  Next year they'll both be at The Festy.

But this week, IS The Festy.  There's still tickets available, the lineup is ridiculous, weather will be glorious.  Don't miss it, hate to be there in 20 years saying you've been to the last 19 but missed the first...

So Familiar

We cued up these dates with the New Familiars a few months ago having never really heard those guys before.  Turns out they absolutely kick ass and they're super cool.  We've got a lot in common with these guys, we seem to like all the same stuff.  Check them out:

We're in Boone with these dudes tonight then we take the circus to Bristol for the Rhythm and Roots Reunion.

Hot and Gray

It's hot. The other day in Tupelo, heat index was up around 108 during our set.  Nashville's cooking, seems like the rest of the country is too.  Looking forward to the next run through MT and CO, should be a little cooler up there.

In other news, we're shopping for a box truck to replace the trailer. We're trying to move toward a smaller footprint when we tour, and the new vehicle will be able to run more efficiently and hopefully on bio-diesel. We've also started a recycling program in our van and we've cut our landfill destined waste in half. Moving around the country I've been shocked at the hue of the air. It's getting pretty gray out there. Let us know if you have any ideas about what we can do to reduce our footprint.

We need Becker

Becker couldn't make it this tour, so this is what happens:
