Days are never ordinary

We are back in Nashville after our run of Southern shows. Wild weekend! Every second was a rush and we barely slept a minute of it.

Atlanta!

Spent our entire drive to Atlanta on our iPhones and Androids getting everything in place for our first shipment of the new albums. We have lot of news about release dates/label/shows/preorders coming soon. We got all of our artwork and orders in about five minutes before we walked onstage at the RedLight. Lots of people there and great to see our Atlanta friends.

Dahlonega, GA

At the Crimson Moon Café we were sitting in the Green room and got a call about filling in for our Australian friends The Greencards at the Bluegrass Underground the next day. For the second night in a row we were on our phones working it out until five minutes before the show. Crimson Moon was great by the way. I took some pics from the green room before the show.

Cumberland Caverns

After the Crimson Moon we got in the van and drove back to Atlanta to get our clothes and then turned around and drove through the night up to McMinnville, TN to play a show 333 ft below the ground in a natural amphitheater with the amazing Mike Farris and famous Newgrass Founder John Cowan. It was all filmed in high def to be distributed for National Public Television by Emmy award winning filmmaker Todd Jarrel. Christian was going to be out of town so we did it as a four-piece. Click here for some pics from photographer Sarah Gilliam! 

This was a wild experience. They had a guy doing lights who had worked for MTV awards. Crazy fog machines. The cave was packed with people and film gear. It was a great mix of one of the best shows ever and the Twilight Zone. Those Bluegrass Underground people are brilliant. We saw that somebody in the audience posted a Youtube Video of our new song “Heart of a Slave.”

Chattanooga

We hadn’t slept in two days by the time we got to Chattanooga and we had two sets to play. It was a house concert and ended up being an amazing mixture of our normal show, storytelling, and just hanging out with everyone there. We drank a lot of coffee and energy drinks and ended up sitting around listening to great stories from the promoter about meeting Allen Ginsberg and all of those beat poets from the 60s. Then we went to the hotel and slept forever. I still feel like I just woke up.
