    On our way thanks to you!

    Hello All,
    We just thought we would take a minute to update you on how things are going. We greatly appreciate all of the support we have received toward our van effort. It means the world to us that you believe in what we do.
    We are still receiving offers for out of town gigs. We will be playing a show in Isle of Palms, SC on July 2nd opening for Drivin' N Cryin'. If you are in the area, you should swing by. We have also accepted a show in Auburn, AL at the Independent where we will share the bill with An Abstract Theory from Florence, AL and the phenomenal, Katie Martin. We played a show at The independent a few months back with the same bands and had so much fun we had to do it again.
    We are also making preparations to begin recording our second full length album. It will be recorded by our tenor sax player, Marc Gilley. The new tunes sound great and we can't wait to get them out.
    Our next scheduled performance is for the Athfest Music and Arts festival. We will be playing the Pulaski street Mainstage (by the 40 Watt club) at 7:00pm on Saturday June 26th.
    Again, we truly appreciate the support we have been shown. We are 1/4 of the way toward meeting our goal. We still need help to make this dream a reality.

    Please help spread the word and once again, thank you, thank you, thank you!
