Hi friends! We're totally psyched about going on our 10 day tour! We'll have our newest addition Jacob Tilove on mandolin! Jake has been playing with us for about 4 years off and on and has recently been branded as a member of the band! We will have Ian Riggs on upright bass, Brian Geltner on percussion and drums and Hilary Hawke!
We just secured our reservation for our little minivan and I have plenty of little buttons to sell on the road! All handmade and many different designs, and we even have band member buttons!
We'll making stops in West Virginia, Maryland, Knoxville, Johnson City, Greenbriar Tenn, and Memphis. and making our final stops at the folk alliance conference in Memphis! Phew!
More to come from the road!

Hi Everyone! We're really working hard these days booking our shows for the Folk Alliance! It's not easy getting your toe wedged into the door at this conference (I've discovered) and we're happy to annouce that we have been accepted for two different showcases while we're there! One at the traditional music showcase room, and one with GoGirls music! We're so happy and are getting all our ducks in a row so we can make most of the conference!
Right now, it seems we'll be heading down as a 3 piece with our band members Ian Riggs, Brian Geltner and I, and hopefully persuading Jacob Tilove on mandolin to come along!

Here's some exciting new news!

Now booking for our winter tour in February down to Memphis! We're writing a special song for that right now!
