Hello Friends, 

Such incredible and intense times we are living through.  These last couple of weeks (or so) have been unprecedented and are shifting the consciousness in significant ways. 

It's sometimes hard to know what to say right away, so we've spent a lot of time reading, listening, sighing, meditating, and learning.  The journey towards Unity and healing centuries-old injustices will not be remedied in a day, a week, nor months.  This will be a life-long process that we all take part in. 

We are…

We've been enjoying playing every week for you, live from our porch (or living room), 10 weeks and counting now!

We're filming and recording these sets as well, for YouTube and for a future digital release. 

Thanks so much for the ongoing support!

Here's a recent performance, featuring our cover of Bob Dylan's Can't Wait.

 

Happy All Saints Day! 
Of course, in New Orleans, it's all Saints, all the time, lol (#whodat !) 

We have been enjoying our autumn road adventures and collecting new friends and fans along the way. 
We seem to have such an affinity for Tennessee, and are going back up to Nashville November 9th to play a BAND SHOW! at the groovy place called Dee's Country Cocktail Lounge.  SO EXCITED!! 

We actually have a new song called Take Me to Tennessee that will be on a future album. 
(No, we're not going into the studio…

We've uploaded a new video to the website and YouTube!  It's from last July, when we celebrated with my mother, Melanie, for her birthday in Dallas.  It was such a joy to have her on the stage with us, and sing one of our favorites, Long Black Veil (a well-known country ballad from 1959, written by Danny Dill and Marijohn Wilkin and originally recorded by Lefty Frizzell.)  Check out Melanie's amazing harmonies!  Click here.

Upcoming shows:
Mondays - April 17th and 24th - 8-11pm at Sidney's Saloon - 1200 St…Read more

We share with you a taste of what will likely become a live album for us from the Music at the Mint series!  What an amazing experience it was to play in this state of the art theater that doubles as a recording studio. 
We've got one (iPhone) video posted from the 3rd show so far...hopefully more to come, as time permits.  The shows were filmed/streamed and recorded, although the Mint's livestream site can be a bit finicky yet functional.  They are in the process of transferring everything to a YouTube…Read more

Our final show for the Music at the Mint series is THIS FRIDAY!!!  LIVESTREAM LINK HERE 7pm-8:30pm central time

What a pleasure it's been to perform in that theater!  We hope you'll join us for the last of the series.  And if you're passing through New Orleans sometime, there are a variety of events and shows that take place in the museum, highly recommended. 
We'll have Nat Lawrence on grand piano and keys, Smitti Supab on bass and Gus Haiko on drums for this show!

We had fun stopping in at WWL TV for the…
