Announcement coming later this week! …but first, here’s our plug to get your travel plans in order to come up to The Nor’easter festival in Burlington, VT on Sept. 24 with G. Love & Special Sauce, Okkervil River, Aunt Martha, Joe Fletcher & the Wrong Reasons, etc. Earthquakes, hurricanes and now a nor’easter. Why not…

Albany’s alternative weekly Metroland saw our show at the Word x Word Festival and called the music “beer soaked burlap rock.” We prefer neo-beer soaked burlap rock, thankyouverymuch. Openers Kingsley Flood provided a very pleasing set of beer-soaked burlap rock, with hints of Americana and country flavoring what was essentially a high-energy rock & roll…

Usually we cringe at the idea of a nor’easter, unless of course it gives us an excuse to stay inside and watch an entire season of the Wire in a day.  So, I guess, we like nor’easters. And we like when festivals are named that too. Thrilled to head to beautiful Burlington, VT for The…

We’re featured in Improper Bostonian Magazine‘s “Acts to follow” article about “the city’s rising musical stars” alongside great acts like Sea Monsters and Lady Lamb The Beekeeper. Best part: George’s guitar solos are called “woolly.” You now have permission to call George “Mammoth”…

So maybe we should start using a bit more slide guitar…and hats. Yes, definitely more hats. (pic of naseem with slide player jonny grave at Iota Club and Cafe in Arlington, VA)

We’ve been following Grace Potter & the Nocturnals for a while now…basically, they’re a straight-up rock and roll band, and that in itself is really refreshing.  So, we’re pretty excited to be opening for them on Thursday, August 11 in Newport (all details and ticket info are here) as part of the Newport Waterfront Events’…

A while back, a spate of robberies in and around Boston captivated the region.  Unlike most robberies, which are motivated by financial gain, these crimes were newsworthy for the unusual bounty: honey.  Through some inside sources, we caught wind of one such heist in its planning stages, and secretly taped the suspects.  The result shows…

You may have heard rumors (that we may have made up, and told you to care about) lately. Something about a video for our tune “I Don’t Wanna Go Home.”  Well, they’re true.  Apparently after NPR premiered the song and other folks said nice things about it, we thought it appropriate to add some visuals. …

There’s nothing quite like Maine in the summer, especially when there are kickass music festivals to complement the lobster rolls and perfect weather.  We’re thrilled to join a lineup that includes My Morning Jacket and Grace Potter & the Nocturnals for the KahBang Festival on August 12 in Bangor. We’ll be playing in the afternoon…

DC, you do treat us well.  After a rowdy good time at the Rock and Roll Hotel earlier this month, we’re happy to report that we’ll be playing at the legendary 9:30 Club in a few weeks.  We’ll be supporting a great DC bluegrass-ish* act, Junior League Band. We aim to prove that DC is…
