We've been hearing about Cayamo for years. The family of folks who sing the high praises of this high seas festival is spread far and wide, and we meet them everywhere.

We're heading north for the summer! Kicking off our tour tomorrow (Wed) at Northfield Mandolins (LOW TIX). They built Pete’s octave and we’re so honored to be returning to their beautiful showroom in Marshall, MI where they have some of the best mandolins (and espresso)!

We've got a new song, and it needs a name.
Mayo. That was the prompt. I do love mayo, but have never thought to write anything about it. I figured I'd either take my yearly mulligan that month, or end up with something silly that checked the box, but didn't live beyond that.

Tonight 🤠! We'll be hitting the stage for a very special show at the 04 Center in Austin (Pete's hometown 🏡🏙️). The venerable songsmith @terryklein.bsky.social will kick off the night. There are still advance tickets available (which are a little cheaper than at the door).

We've been knowin' @terryklein.bsky.social 's brilliant songs for quite a few years now. What amazes us is that every time we see him, he plays us something new that leaves our ghasts completely flabbered. Can't wait to hear him on Thursday in Austin kicking off the night for us at the 04 Center!

Our self-titled album turned one year old last week, and we forgot to celebrate! 🎊 We're so proud of how it came out, and incredibly thankful for the people who helped bring these songs to life: Dirk Powell, Syd Horn, Olivia Perillo, Eric at Independent Mastering...
