New Video, Tourland and Upcoming shows

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

Video from Music at the Mint series

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

Final Mint show plus Freret Market, R&R Marathon and 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…

Did you get to see the episode of NCIS: New Orleans???

What a treat! Matthew and Ian had fun being 'on the set' in the French Quarter, and meeting director Rob Morrow. They performed an instrumental version of our song, I've Seen on the episode. They show up at about the halfway mark if you're watching the episode later. We're looking forward to more fun adventures like this :)

Matthew's birthday weekend was a blast, thanks to everyone who helped make it amazing for him!
We set up the tripod to capture…Read more

back home in New Orleans - shows coming up

What an incredible journey we've had. 4,000 miles later, we're back home, refreshed, inspired, and renewed.
We have so much love and gratitude for all of our new (and old) friends in New Mexico. Thanks so much for making us feel special!
Look for videos coming down the line in the next couple months or so from the various gigs and filming moments...we're working on a music video as well, and New Mexico was the perfect back drop for us.

Now that we're back home, the work awaits. Editing video, recording…Read more
