Here in the Pacific Northwest, we are not accustomed to snow, let alone the copious amounts that we received this winter. I enjoyed it, however, because it was preceded and followed by some exciting events for me and the band as well.

Of course there was our EP release show on December 2nd, which had a great turn out and was a lot of fun.

Then the next weekend I ran audio for a theater production ironically named ‘Like Winter Snow’, which my wife performed in as well.

Then there was Christmas with three kids, which is never truly restful though always thoroughly enjoyed by us all.

All in all winter has brought a very hectic schedule for the whole band, so it was nice to get socked in for a few days to play and enjoy the wild weather. I hope you survived as well and stayed safe.

That being said as we are laying out the schedule for the spring and let me just say, I am really excited! We are going to be playing with some of our favorite groups and at some fantastic venues.

Details to come soon, stay tuned!

The excitement is mounting and our hearts are all a flutter in anticipation of seeing all your fine faces.
I know it sounds trite but there isn’t any other way to say it–we couldn’t have done this without all of you.  As such, our release show won’t be worth a chicken nugget if you aren’t there to share in the revelry!
So come on out–whether you bring your dancing shoes or your sittin’ pants you’re in for a great show.  We’ve got Levi Ware & Sean McGrath to start out the night and we’re playing songs you’ve never heard live and selling the album to boot.
So bring your Ma, your Pa, your Brother-in-law and your dog groomer’s aunt’s ski instructor’s cousin as well, it’s going to be a fabulous night!

December 2nd is our EP release show at the Q Cafe in Ballard.  Levi Ware and Sean McGrath will be joining us to bring you a night of great music and the chance to get your mitts on our Under the August Sky.

We might also have some other merchandise for you to peruse that may or may not involve beards.
You’ll have to show up to find out!

The album is the biggest news and we can’t wait to share it with you.  There’s a couple of ways to get it but that’s fodder for a later post.  Today I’d like to thank the band, Bri, Rick and Curtis for rocking those long hours in the studio like champs.  I’d also like to give a shout out to the folks over at Fastback Studios for their hard work producing the album as well as Justin Holland for creating the album art. And I can’t forget the guest stars on this record, Danielle Downey, Luke Miller, Shannon Ryker, and Quinton Kakaley. Thanks for your stompy-ness and your amazing voices!   Under the August Sky was a group effort if there ever was one.  I have a pretty kick ass team on my side.

Stay tuned for more info about our EP release show and other ways you can get your hands on Under the August Sky.
