Summer Tour Kick-Off
We had a wonderful visit to the Little Roy & Lizzie Music Festival in Lincolnton, Georgia and want to thank ALL of you for making our first appearance at this event such a success! It was the perfect way to start the month of May and our subsequent Summer Tour! We've been busy behind the scenes getting ready for a very busy touring season when we make our first appearance at numerous festivals and events in Virginia, West Virginia, Vermont, Ontario, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Kansas, Michigan, New York, Minnesota, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, Arkansas & Arizona. Take a look at our website's Tour schedule for a complete list of performances and if we happen to be in your area, be sure to come out and say hello! (Photo Credit: Gene Bavis)
IBMA Voting Begins This Week!
It's that time of year when Professional members of theInternational Bluegrass Music Association begin the balloting process for the IBMA Awards. We were honored to be a 2013 nominee and were thrilled to be part of the awards and World Of Bluegrass Conference in Raleigh, NC. During the eligibility period for the 2014 Awards (April 1, 2013-March 31, 2014,) we've traveled nearly 200 days across the US and Canada with 125 performance dates and we released our sophomore project on Mountain Fever Records, No Borders. We've loved every minute of it and hope we've represented bluegrass well.

New Music Coming This Fall!
We are happy to announce the final details of our next CD are coming together nicely. We just had a photo shoot with the wonderful Johanna Matthews and are excited to begin work on the graphics for the project as well as a new look for our website. We're expecting to release our first single in late summer and the full project in October. In addition, we'll be sharing information on our fall Maritime CD Release Tour over the next few weeks.
