Yesterday on our way to Roanoke, we went exploring on some backroads
and finally found the trailhead to McAfee's Knob, the most photographed spot on the Appalachian Trail. After four miles of uphill hiking, we got there.


We enjoyed the unseasonably warm weather and the outdoor solitude; today it's on to more urban points north.

Today marks the newest chapter in our road journal. I know we haven't been on top of the road journal for the last while; we've been on a bit of a hiatus working on new songs and getting to know some new gadgetry. But now it's time to put all that work to good use and go back out on the road.
Tonight we played at the Acoustic Coffeehouse in Johnson City, TN. We were glad to see some familiar faces and get some sketches done of ours:


Shanon Heart did these drawings while we were playing and was nice enough to let us photograph them so everyone could see them. We enjoyed playing with Brant and Lindy of Rockwoods. It's always fun to be paired up with other pairs. . .

Much love, we'll chat later.

Big thanks to Tony Campbell for videoing and to Heath Patrick for taking the following pictures:




We've got some new live tracks posted on our ReverbNation page (downloadable for you techies out there!) and our MySpace page. We'll be back out on the road Feb. 5th with more sights and sounds from across America!

Well, we've been home for a week and a half and it feels like FOREVER! It's nice to be in one place with a shower, laundry, a kitchen, and other amenities, but we actually do miss the road already. Big surprise--we made it all the way through the North-Midwest out to Colorado and back without seeing snow and now that we're back in sunny North Carolina (I thought this was the South?!?) we have SNOW today!! I've included a picture in case you don't believe it. . .
We're gearing up for our big CD release party in Asheville at the Grey Eagle on Wed., Dec. 10th--let's just hope it doesn't snow then! We'll be recording that night, so keep an eye out for some new songs and sounds. . . until then, stay warm!

We're home! We made it through three shows and a late night-sleepy drive yesterday to round out our fall tour. Our first show of the day was an acoustic radio/tv show on WUGA--"It's Friday!" with host Rob Holmes. We didn't know it was a tv show until the day of, so we weren't prepared with clean clothes, tv hair, or anything like that, but we had fun! After that, we played a house concert (there was great food too; we stuffed ourselves with brie cheese and crackers, fancy-looking spreads, nuts, and tiny things). Then we took our hors d'oeuvres -filled selves to Tasty World --no pun intended--for our rock show to fill out the evening.
Our Thursday in Nashville was both fun and quite surprising. . . After a fun set at Cafe Coco we ran into an old friend from my [this is Melissa] high school who just happened to live in Nashville and coincidentally was hanging out at the venue for the songwriter showcase later in the evening. We hadn't seen each other for eight years; it's such a small world! So after some beers, pizza, and catching up, we started out on the long trek to Athens, GA.

So, now that we're home, our posts will be a little more sparse, but we promise to keep up the journal (practicing at home just isn't as exciting as playing for people all across the country. . .). However, we've got some exciting new sounds and songs up our sleeves that we'll be debuting at our CD release party at the Grey Eagle in Asheville, NC on December 10th. We will, of course, give you all in computer-land a taste; we'll have video posted shortly after the 10th!

Yesterday we got back out on the road on our way to Memphis. We didn't have a chance to see Elvis (at least not the real Elvis); by the time we pulled in to town we had to go straight to the P&H. We did, however, get a chance to meet some cool cats and catch up with fellow musician Jobu Babin, whom we met last time we were through Memphis.

We're getting ready for Nashville this evening, then tomorrow it's off to Athens, GA for our personal record of 3 shows in one day!

Last night in Indianapolis was a blast. We played at a really classy venue, Radio Radio with a show put together by the Indie Band Collective.
It was great to be back in Indy again, so many childhood memories. . . Folks in Indy came out and represented and we had a great CD Release show. We've begun booking for our next tour, we'll be heading to the Northeast all of February and looking forward to the lovely weather. Check our schedule soon and help us spread the word! Time for some time off... we're on our way home and will be picking it back up this Wednesday, see you then!
