AHEM! To everyone who pledged during the kickstarter campaign, THANK YOU! This is the beautiful new van! Please keep an eye out for us in our travels. I’ve been calling her Blue Bell, while Jason insists that she is Blue Steel. Ha! Regardless, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. She is going to make touring comfortable & AWESOME!

2012 will bring BIG changes & new adventures as we, hit the road full-time! We head to SC, GA, & then hang out in Florida for a few weeks soaking up the sun. Looking forward to expanding the listening audience in 2012 by traveling all over this great nation.

THIS WEEK I head to Knoxville to play Sapphire then wrap up my shows for 2011 at the Altamont Theatre downtown Asheville opening for the Trishas out of Austin, Texas.

Looking forward to so much!
