Greetings from the great Mid-West!…. We just finished up a fantastic tour with shows in North Carolina (Ocracoke Island), Kentucky, Missouri, and Kansas. Thanks to all our new friends and fans that we’ve had the pleasure of meeting or at least seeing bopping heads in the audience!

We had an amazing weekend in Salina, Ks at the Smokey Hill River Festival and all the performers and visual artists were top notch! We played five sets over the three days that we were there and missed not a one due to any of the perilous weather conditions. All I can say is that the people of Kansas are fantastic and Salina puts on one masterpiece of a festival….

There isn’t a more endearing place than Frederick, Maryland! We give a huge Steel Wheels shout out to our friends and fans who came to fill up Cafe Nola and Dance the night away. Seriously, you all are great and thanks for making our first appearance in two years a fantastic time!

Ah yes, we’re proud to say that we took the winning slot in the Eddie’s Attic shootout in Duluth, Georgia! After 21 rounds of performers we closed out the evening with “Surround me” from our new album Redwing. It was an absolute pleasure to play with so many talented artists and walking away from the night with many new friends. That being said we scavenged a few hours of sleep and are on the road towards Knoxville, TN to play a live broadcast on WDVX, and one of the best shows in the country called “The blue plate special”. The early hours were as grey as Brian’ pin-stripped suit but now the sun hangs in the sky like a ripe Georgia peach. Check out our facebook fan page for a live video clip from Eddie’s.
