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!
