Howdy everyone,
Sending positive healing vibes and prayers to our brothers and sisters in Orlando, Florida.
We have just come back from an amazing weekend in Orangeville, Ontario Canada where we were fortunate enough to headline the Orangeville Blues & Jazz Festival. What an amazing event, located down town with multiple stages, workshops, food vendors , arts/crafts and a car show. The weather was stunning, the vibes were friendly and the crowd numbers were full to the max. This was guitarist Mike Howe's first show with us, returning after a 14 month hiatus.
The new CD "Show Your Love" hit # 5 on Billboard Blues Charts for the second week and top ten for the past 10 weeks. Also # 10 on The Roots Music Report and # 1 Hot Hit Tracks 100, in the Netherlands woohoo! And to top it off, # 3 on The Australian Blues Charts, so cool to be appreciated by the folks from home! In May we headed down south for some very nice shows. The first show was The Natchez Festival of Music, held at the Performing Arts Center. This theatre was featured in the James Brown Film. A beautiful building for sure. After the show, the sponsors for the event kindly held a reception for us in their home which was a renovated Train Station. The next show was Martins in Jackson, Mississippi, this was a bit of a quite one, but a really nice room and cool folks. Then we headed North to BBs Jazz Blues and Soups, St Louis. Yes we are back at BBs!!! Some of you may remember we had to cancel last time through. Word is that the old management is back in place and all is well. We had an amazing show at Blues at The Bohm in Albion Michigan. This is a cool theatre gig where we got to play a set and then the blues jammers got up to jam for a few sets then we finished off the night. We had a great turnout - 217 peeps for a Monday night aint too shabby. The Bohm theatre is a stunning music venue, check it out if you are ever in Albion, Michigan
We have a busy summer schedule coming up, loads of festivals, concert series, some club dates and workshops. Please check out the tour guide below. Hope to see you out on the road this summer!!
Thanks and Peace,
