Let's PACK the place!

Hey “Youngsters” - we have a FANTASTIC opportunity to open for Bernard Fowler (tours with the Rolling Stones) and the legendary Waddy Wachtel, his lead guitarist (recorded & toured with Jackson Browne, Warren Zevon, James Taylor, and more).

It’s at the Crofoot in Pontiac on Tuesday October 27 at 7pm. Tickets are $12 at the door, but why pay that when you can save a few bucks and buy them directly from us (AND get a free CD in the process)? Yup, only $10 gets you into the show and your choice of either our 10-year retrospective “Renewed” or our upcoming new CD this winter. The choice is yours… :)

So please, come on out and support us - we’ll provide the cool grooves and the hot topics, we just need your WARM BODIES.

THANKS in advance!

Purple ribbons in her hair, diamond eyes,Laughter in her heart that bubbles and flows.Wisdom of a child, beyond her years…Now it’s so hard to let her go.

Purple ribbons in her hair, diamond eyes,
Laughter in her heart that bubbles and flows.
Wisdom of a child, beyond her years…
Now it’s so hard to let her go.
