At the Crossroads… Music Series! Photo by Dana Burton.
October!
This weekend we are headed to Kingston, NY for our last show stateside before we leave for the UK on Monday! Am I done packing yet? NO! Have I started packing? A bit… I’m really better when there’s a crunch, LOL! UK tour dates are below!
New England Music Awards Nomination!
Exciting news, we got another nomination! It’s for New England Music Awards “Blues Artist of the Year” – and we’d love your vote! If you already voted, you can vote again!! Click the link below (you can scroll down and just vote for the one category).
The last day to vote is this Friday, October 9th, and you can vote once a day if you want! Wish us luck, and thanks for your vote(s)!
Who wants to go? We have 2 tickets to give away to the awards ceremony, Sunday November 15th in Foxboro, MA! Me and Jim will be out of the country, so we can’t go, but we are looking for someone to go in our place to be in the audience and accept the award if we happen to win. Message me if you want to attend!
As usual, I’ve compiled some recent photos for you to enjoy below. As you’ll see, we had lots of fun at the Crossroads Music Series in Andover MA, and at the John Jackson Piedmont Blues Festival in Rappahannock County VA!
Thanks for reading, and THANK YOU for supporting us as independent musicians!
