The pics are from The Drinkery this past Saturday & the audio is from Molly Malone’s in Pleasant Ridge on St. Patrick’s day. Thanks Emily!

We played 4 shows in half a week, and didn’t get to bed before 4am any night from Wed-Saturday…Recovery week begins.

Check out the show page, we just posted some new ones!

Some highlights from this past week:

Judging Smails – These guys are super cool. Not only are they super cool, they’re a really good band too. Go see them play sometime. Seriously.

Mount Adams Pizza – You will never want any other food ever again. I once said that Cincinnati had no good pizza places. I stand corrected and should be shot for saying such idiotic things. Mt. Adams Pizza is damn good.

The Celestial – Friday night, we hit the town to grab a couple cocktails & listen to some jazz at the classiest place in Cincinnati. This turned into Will hopping on the piano with Josh & Al crooning for the bar backed up on vocals by Jake, Claire & I. It was epic, and hopefully not a one time thing.

Aaaaaaaaand finally…

We are super pumped to be playing at the Whispering Beard Folk Festival this year. The exact date & time are yet to be determined, but we’re happy to share the stage with some of our favorite Cincinnati bands coming up this August.

The best part of it all may be that the location of the festival happens to be right next to Easter Rising Farm, so make sure you buy your tickets for the festival soon, come hang out with us, and check out the farm when you’re out there.

Peace!

Jake, Tommy, and I have been working our tails off to keep our show schedule respectably full, and the show page is really just a fraction of what we’ve currently got booked.

So far, in addition to the shows on our page, we’ve finalized the booking fo 4 wedding receptions (including our own Pete Hansen’s) & Adam’s priesthood ordination party. We’ve played weddings before, and we always have a lot of fun, but we need some suggestions for songs to add to our repertoire for the upcoming gigs. This is where you come in – leave us a comment below with any songs you’d like to hear us play. Fire away!
