Vist with WVTF Roanoke

Abe and I were on WVTF in roanoke on Sunday's "Back to the Blueridge" show with Kinney & Seth. We had a great time and really enjoyed meeting Kinney and Seth. Those guys have done a tremendous job presenting quality music on the programming there and we were honored to be part of it. If you've made to here by way of listening to our show or otherwise, thanks for the wonderful reviews and support of our album so far. We are blessed beyond measure for being able to make this album and we look forward to getting started on the next one! This time it might be just me and Abe. You never know!
by for now!

CD release fun





Thanks to all the folks who came out and bought our cd last night at cafe del sol. It was a success all the way around. We had a wonderful time and we also had the joy of introducing our friend, Kevin Jones, on vocals and bass. He is a great addition to what Abe and I are doing and we look forward to him helping develop us into more of a band sound. Thanks again for a really good time! Here's a few pics from the show!
