Hey Friends! 

We're nearly 5 months off the road now, the longest we've ever gone without regular gigging.  We're both beginning to feel the effect of this in our playing, in our state of mind and our very approach to making music.  Not an easy path to navigate, but we do our best to keep each other hopeful and inspired.  
We're continuing to write and record (new album in 2021?); 
To play and record our Facebook Live from the Porch Sessions (new live album 2021?);  
And encouraging ourselves to explore more…

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…

Hey friends!  

The open road awaits...just days away from our biggest adventure yet!

Mad love, beautiful places, amazing people.

So much gratitude to you all for the journey and the hope of tomorrow.

We'll be sorting photos and posting video from the tour soon....there's always a bit of work to do after the work and the play. 

We wouldn't trade it.

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
