Howdy y’all
I hope y’all had a great weekend. I helped my mom ready her new home for moving day. Was kinda surreal to be up at the old family homestead to grab the remainder of her stuff and see another family living there. The house should treat them well as they are a large family. I’m happy there’s a big, new family in there making a new start for themselves. Ma’s new spot is cute little joint on the northside of Fredericton. Nice area. I’m excited for her. This is the beginning of a new chapter in life and that’s always fun and fresh.
I wanted to post up today to let everyone know we’re doing a Fredericton show to kick off our fall tour. Tour dates are 97% done and posted over in that “tour” section. Git on over there and look em up and tell your friends and enemies to get on out to a show.
The Kick off will be held at Lava Vodka Lounge in Nicky Z’s bar on Thursday Oct 3rd. We’ll take the stage around 1030 or 11pm. At some point in the evening the promoter will be giving away a pair of tickets to the Joe Satriani show in Moncton on the next night. We will also have a very special secret guest act performing that night. This is a guitar legend and a person who has had a major influence on my style and career. All for only $10. Do not miss this show folks.
If you’re on social media and anywhere near me when i’m on there you may know that we’ve been nominated for a pile of MusicNB awards. A portion of the voting is public and we’ve been asking our friends and fans to do some dirty work for us. We’re real proud of our recent albums and really would like to see them win. if you want to help you can vote here: http://t.ymlp222.net/ejuswazausyhbalauuuaraumbh/click.php
