Hello Folks,

The money is in the bank and the release is underway! The official release date and radio "add" date is Tuesday, July 27th and a couple weeks ago we mailed 600 copies of the record to radio stations nation wide! This wouldn't have been possible without your help! (Soon we'll be letting you know which radio stations you can request us at!)

Also, we wanted to let you know that we have an important show coming up at Joe's Pub in New York City on Sunday, August 8th at 7:30pm .

Joe's Pub is one of New York's premiere listening rooms and we are thrilled to be playing there early on in our 40 date CD release tour! We need all the help we can get filling that room so we're casting a wide net to our friends and fans to spread the word far and wide.

If you have music loving friends in New York City kindly let them know about our Joe's Pub appearance. It's going to be a special evening with Mike + Ruthy and our 5 piece band featuring Jacob Silver on bass, Craig Santiago on drums, Rich Hinman on pedal steel and Aoife O'Donovan singing harmonies!

Here's a link to the Joe's Pub Facebook event!

As we near the finish line, 205 percent funded, we want to say THANK YOU to you all for helping us realize our dreams.

More Soon,

Mike + Ruthy

*Ding, ding, ding*

We just crossed the $10,000 mark!

Amazing!!
