Wish we could hear you live down here in TX. When is your next tour down this-a-ways?;)

When Susan can get enough time off from her day job and we can perhaps find a UU congregation willing to bring us in for a concert and service!

We had a small but appreciative audience in S. Bend yesterday (the snow caught everyone by surprise, and the parking lot and sidewalks were not shoveled). But today at Langeland House in Muskegon we had a full house and the concert was a blast! (We also got some nice radio airplay in S.Bend, Valparaiso, and Muskegon).

We found out that our Saturday night Folk Alliance Performance Alley showcase will be open to the public--$20 gets you access to over 100 acts at the Memphis Marriott and Convention Center!

When Susan can get enough time off from her day job and we can perhaps find a UU congregation willing to bring us in for a concert and service!Send me a demo CD or a promopack. Our UU congregation has a evening once a month thing. Also Live Oak UU north of Austin has a great one too. I'll see what I can do. We also have a summer institute (week long event) called SWUUSI that has a guest artist every year.
