Aloha Reader,
I'm back from NYC where last night, we had a rehearsal with the April lineup including two special guests Adam Good (cümbüş, oud, resonator guitar) and James Heazlewood-Dale on bass. It was great to hear their unique talents and energy brought to the music. This week however, we have our OG lineup in place including Tev and Mike, starting off with Las Cruces, NM on 3/22 and then Tucson on Thursday 3/23 (note the 7pm seating is almost sold out in Tucson; we also do a 9pm set that evening). A few people have added themselves to the buddy-list as well in 3 different cities so check that out below -- and don't forget to vote on the new shirt! See below for all the details:
For the upcoming tour, we'll be ordering a new t-shirt design to sell in the store (and at shows) in mens and womens cuts. However, there will only be (1) color choice for this new 2023 tour shirt: white or teal! PLease vote only once. Help us decide now and optionally pre-pre-order here:
