JJ, Dennis, Andrew, Todd, Art, the Anthony's, Colin and Aaron couldn't have been a smoother, kinder more laid back group of guys... We enjoyed our limited time with these guys and hope to do it again.

"Hey man, JJ and the guys are giving us their hotel room for the night." -

The road was kind this trip (knock,knock) and the venues, cities, friends and fans were even kinder... The Boise Knitting Factory was run and operated by some of nicest folks we've
ever met, thank you Cedric, Chris and Wayne (to name only a few). We hope to get back there soon, real soon.

Salt Lake City @ The State Room - ultra smooth as always - Sold Out crowds are very nice to play to. We owe alot of our recent success to Darin Piccoli and The State Room - many thank you's to both and to all who attended and brought good vibes with you...

Telluride... We love this little town. The Bubble Lounge... We love this little club. Telluride Blues & Brews Festival... We love this festival and the people involved. No pretension here... Just people being happy people. We play a 2, 1.5 hour sets at The Bubble and Cory ends up winning the Blues & Brews acoustic competition the morning after (gratitude, humility) and is awarded what ends up to be a 40 minute slot on the main stage playing in front of a good 9 to 10,000 folks, sandwiched between JJ & Mofro and Galactic (more gratitude and an extra cup of humility) along with a Gibson guitar and some much needed cash. Such an honor. We hope to be back to the festival as a full band someday.
