Portland and Peaks Again....

July 26, 2009
We had a great weekend in Portland, Maine, kicking off with a 40 minute guest appearance on WMPG's US Folk with host Chris Darling on Friday morning, then a gig at the North Star Cafe - double billing with our friends Truth About Daisies, a wonderful local harmony-based trio.
Saturday the 25th we found ourselves back on Peaks Island, taking part for the second year in a row in the Songwriters by the Sea series, alternating sets with the duo Ronda Dale and Kevin Attra, both of Peaks. (Ronda also plays bass with Truth About Daisies.)
The necessary Sweet Bitters trip out to Cape Elizabeth for lobster rolls was taken...
All in all, a really great weekend...

June update!
The CD release show was a real blast and a great success. Kenny's Castaways is a very cool, fun venue in the village and we'll be back there for sure. Click on the Press link to see a review of the show...
We then headed up to the campus of Vassar College in Poughkeepsie for a live radio appearance on WVKR 91.3 "Regional Frequency" hosted by the lovely Sharon Panaro. It was a lot of fun and got us really looking forward to our next shows. We're taking a short hiatus before heading up to Maine in July...
