before our weekend bopping around western NC (HOME!) we hit the legendary Eddie’s Attic in Decatur and had an AWESOME time! Eddie really is one gracious host. after leaving GA, we came back to NC for a nice string of shows in WNC: Purple Onion in Saluda (they treat us like royalty!), Jack of Hearts in Weaverville (what great sound & crowd!), & Southern Appalachian Brewery (a fantastic new brewery in Hendersonville).

please check out all the SHOWS!!! tonight we’re heading to Greenville, SC to play at Horizon Records then we trek out across NC to Saxapahaw, Winston-Salem, Holly Springs, then start looking SOUTH at Georgia & Florida! Cheers from Blue Bell! xoxo
