Hello October! 🎃
Wow, it’s been a busy time. The good thing is, all the merch for our album release is coming together! I’m almost ready to send my first book of tablature to print(!), and we just received the new CD’s, LP’s, and Train Whistles. Check out my first ever “unboxing video” to see a quick preview! And the T-shirts also arrived, just minutes ago! (Looking great!!)
We just got back from a lovely tour to Maryland/DC/VA. It was really nice to see family & friends, and our shows went great: a nearly sold out show at The Stoltz Room in Easton; a fun/soggy time at the Greenbelt Blues Fest; and a wonderful day of friends & country blues at the John Jackson Piedmont Blues Festival! (And I got to meet Corey Harris! I had his first album way back when, and I’ve been a fan ever since.) Check out more pics below!
Next I start packing for our UK tour, which begins in just over a WEEK!
In the meantime:
- Our big Album Pre-Release Party is next Thursday 10/9 at the Bull Run in Shirley!
- Then a quick mini-tour for festivals in Philadelphia PA and Kingston NY!
- And we package up & send out your PRE-SALE ORDERS!!!
Details & ticket links are below! Including UK dates!!
(And BTW you can still PRE-ORDER the NEW ALBUM & MERCH for a limited time! And I just added a new bundle, check it out and thanks John Gregory in the Isle of Man for requesting!)
Thanks for opening, and I hope to see you soon – or I would settle for a notification that you pre-ordered the album ;) – or both! Thanks, as always, for your support!!
xo,
Erin

Good times in my hometown for our first time at the Greenbelt Blues Festival! And we even made the local newspaper, after our set was interrupted by a downpour…
The John Jackson Piedmont Blues Festival
Photo by Valerie Turner. (A few of her pics are also below, as well as some by Jim.)
A great day of music with some of the best country blues, honoring local Piedmont blues legend John Jackson. I think we did a good job as emcee (me) and stage manager (Jim), see my clip board? Despite a few showers throughout the day, the festival was excellent, and we can’t wait until next year! Mark your calendar for the last weekend in September 2026…
