01/27/10 The new year brings sanguinity for the band. 2009 was a year of finding our groove. We needed to learn a few things about ourselves, each other, recording and the local scene. 2010 is a year to put our boots on the road. We are smack-dab in the middle of recording a bunch of new tracks at Anteup Audio and couldn't be happier with the progress so far. We expect to release a full length album sometime in mid-2010. We have bookings with some of our old familiar friends, and will look to add some new venues to our schedule. Next on tap is the Beachland Ballroom and Tavern. Check back soon for a Beachland booking, possibly in May.

09/30/09 Raging good times throughout August: Starting with the Greenville, continuing at the Zoo and finishing up with a double dip in Charlottesville, VA. The Zoo hosted it's 15th consecutive rain-free event on the 7th - and has quickly become one of our favorite annual events. We are already scheduled for next year. If you haven't before, it's worth giving this event a try.

Our trip to the first annual Brew Ridge Festival, just outside of Charlottesville, VA in late August was nothing short of a spectacle. Unfortunately, we had to endure some rain during our set, but the sound was excellent, the grounds were gorgeous, the beer was plentiful, dark and strong and the 4 other bands in the lineup and us provided the crowd with some of the finest rock/country/bluegrass music you could have hoped to hear in the Eastern US. Our set went so well, that we were asked to play a gig that same night at a local Charlottesville club across from the University of Virginia. Easily, each of us were thrilled to see the fresh faces on their first Saturday night back on campus. It was....eye opening. Big thanks to John Keefe for getting us in the line-up for the festival, managing the night gig and singing along to every song.

07/26/09 The new songs have been officially finished, having been produced and mixed in NYC by Eric Ambel & Tim Hatfield at Cowboy Technical Services and mastered by Paul Gold at Salt Mastering. All that's left is the production of the discs so you can have them in your hands. We are quite pleased with the results and excited to have the first batch of tunes under our belts. We are currently working on some new tunes that we hope to have together very soon and plan on including the next time we visit the studio. Stay tuned as things develop. Visit our Sounds page for a sneak peek at all the songs from our forthcoming EP,"Groveland"

We are also excited having been asked to play at this year's "Twilight At The Zoo" event, held at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo on August 7th. Always a great time and always a sell-out, being one of Cleveland's bigger events. Get your tickets soon, because we'd love to see you there.

And speaking of big shows, we're off to Charlottesville, VA for the first road trip with the new lineup. We'll be one of the acts at The Brew Ridge Trail Music Festival in scenic Nelson County on August 22nd. We'll be supporting Sons of Bill and The Infamous Stringdusters, just to name a few. Exciting things are in store. And as always, we'll keep you posted.

05/02/09 We have finished nearly all the tracking at Anteup Recording Studios for seven songs. Not sure how we'll distribute them, as there are another 7 or 8 songs we'd like to record before we release a full LP. But, they may end up as an EP, and will certainly be available for download. The quality of recording is far and away better than anything we've done to date, so we're pretty enthused, and hope you'll like the end result. We'll keep you posted.

02/04/09 We are feeling rejuvenated from retooling our songs, line-up and attitudes. We'll make this rejuvenated debut on Feb. 13 at the Barking Spider with new drummer, Wil Jones. Wil brings 25+ years of experience in the studio and live performance, including nearly 10 years in New York City playing all the coolest clubs. Please join us if you can.

In addition to the upgrade Wil provides behind the kit, he has also graciously lent his tech skills to upgrade this website. Having the design in place for a while, it just needed a kick in the pants from Wil to make it live.

12/15/08 We wish a warm welcome to drummer Wil Jones, joining us to provide a solid foundation, as we look forward to an exciting 2009. We've already lined a good number of gigs at our standard locales, and will be looking add some diverse and fun shows to fill the holes. We'll keep you posted.

3/31/08 After another short stint away from the clubs, we were back out at one our favorite watering holes, the barking spider. Great crowd, great show. This time we took the time during the hiatus to write and begin recording some new songs. We are pretty jazzed about them. We'll be posting them to the site as soon as they are ready for public distribution. Finally, after a long battle to try and upgrade our website, we are shelving those plans. We would love to be able to upgrade the site, as this one is quite limited. But until we can secure a working site that we are happy with, we aren't going to threaten visitors with upgrades anymore. Hope to see you around!
