2010!

Hello Friends and Welcome to 2010!

A big thanks to all who came out to our CD release show last month.  I hope everyone is digging the full band. Look for lots of full band shows this year.

Due to a few minor issues our new album won’t be officially released until April. At that time it will be on iTunes and available at your local record store. In the mean time we have copies and want to make them available to you. You can currently order them from the “store” page of this site!

We’ll keep you updated as it becomes more widely available.

We’ve waited a long time to get this record out and here’s to hoping you enjoy listening to it as much as we did recording it!

Lastly we would love to play a show in your town this year. please let us know if you would like to have us and we’ll do our best to work it out

Thanks for your support, see ya on the trail.

-Johnny

I’ll be playing by myself armed with an acoustic guitar and new songs from 2 upcoming records.

recoding-2

We’ve been in the studio pretty steadily for over a month now working on the new album. We narrowed the 34 songs down to 16. Its looking like we may try to release an EP by Christmas and then have the full length out sometime next year. Im excited to share these new (and some old) songs with everybody.

The studio can be a rough place, all your weakness’s are laid bare and things don’t always go as you plan but thats also the fun of it. Andrew Best (Synthar) is still in town and together we are working our way through the process, desperately trying to leave no melody undiscovered. Tyler has laid down most of his drum parts and they sound fantastic.Luke has been in the studio adding his flavor to the tunes. Matt Basinger lended some electric guitar goodness to a few songs while in town from NYC. This week Jamie Weems (Wooden Finger, the Scramblers etc) will be coming in to play on a few tunes. exciting times for us especially with fall weather finally rolling into the south
