Here we are in the west . . .
10/18/11
Greetings all!
We have embarked on a 5 1/2 week western Canadian tour that started last Wednesday in Sault Ste Marie, ON. We played at the Algoma Fall Festival at the Water Tower Inn and despite our late arrival, we started the show on time and had a great kick-off to the tour. Thanks to the folks from the festival for having us, the great crew that made it all happen smoothly and to the enthusiastic crowd/all the new CD owners! We appreciate the support . . . Show #2 happened in Winnipeg, MB and we had one of our best shows in months at the Times Change(d) High and Lonesome Club. It is a great room with a great vibe and we had a full and appreciative crowd . . . and their Mexican food was amazing!! Now we’re in Swift Current, SK doing a blues in the schools program at Maverick School – a great alternative high school here in Swift Current. One more day and then on to Alberta we will go. Stay tuned for the updates here and on facebook and twitter too . . .
thanks for stopping by – hope to see you out on the road . . .

Hi everybody, long time no post . . . sorry for not keeping in touch – we’ve been so busy! We are in Salmon Arm, BC today – Day 3 of the great Salmon Arm Roots and Blues festival. We had a great show on Friday night at the Boogie Bar-n stage (MC’d by our good pal The Mighty Popo) and then participated in a fun workshop yesterday with harmonica ace Mark Hummel and UK boogie-woogie piano man Ben Waters. Later, we enjoyed seeing our pals JJ Grey & Mofro as well as the great Taj Mahal! Today is our mainstage show and we have a surprise for all in attendance!
Talk soon,
