A Local Show This Sunday!
We just got back from a two week tour in the hot and humid South East. We had the pleasure of visiting old friends and making new ones in Bristol, TN, Charlotte, NC, Thomas, WV, Aberdeen, NC, Frankfort, KY, Floyd, VA, and Baltimore, MD.
The highlights of the trip would have to have been the the grueling ping pong tournament at the Rooster’s Wife between Aller, Neil, and Aaron, and of course Floyd Fest. At Floyd Fest we had the honor of playing on the same stage as Levon Helm, Old Crow Medicine Show, Deer Tick, Low Anthem, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, and Joe Pug.
A Big Big shout out to all of our friends who played amazingly kick ass shows at the Festival. Rising Appalachia blew us away with their stunning beauty, soulful music, and tribal face paint. The Two Man Gentleman Band had us in tears of laughter as usual. The Holy Ghost Tent Revival added a trumpet player and melted too many faces to count. Christabelle And The Jons and Miss Tess and the Bon Ton Parade made people weak at the knees with their gorgeous voices and tasty playing. The boys from the Wiyos inspired us to go practice more so we can one day be half as good as them.
Now on to the shameless promotion……
We’ll be playing at the
Walnut Room this Sunday, August 1st,
with Fishtank Ensemble. The Fishtank Ensemble is kinda of like if you went on a backpacking trip in Eastern Europe with a gallon of 5 Hour Energy Drink and all you did was go do dance clubs. They do an astonishing unique blend of Romanian, Gypsy jazz, Flamenco, Balkan, Turkish and Tango. We hope to see you there!
