Now back to the exciting news! First of all we would like to thank all the folks that made it out to The Mohawk this past Saturday night for Free Week. We were blown away by the turnout (over 1400 folks through the door!) and the energy swirling around the place was unlike any show we've been a part of. Here's a shot from the stage -- photo by Jono Foley.

We are back home again in Austin and a little bummed to not be playing any shows for a little while, but simultaneously excited about this next month as we will be able to focus on writing new tunes. 70 degrees and sunny is a welcomed shift from wearing heavy coats every day while we were on the road. We want to thank everyone who made it out to our shows on this run and especially those who housed us, fed us and entertained us in their cities along the way. We could not have made it 5,000 miles without your generous support!

OUR NEXT SHOW is during Free Week at The Mohawk on January 5th. We're especially looking forward to this one as it is our first hometown show since mid-October and will likely be our only one until South By Southwest.  We hope to see you there and we'll keep you posted with more details about the show in the coming weeks!

First marathon driving day brought us to The Bridge in Columbia. This vibrant college town charmed us last time and we were excited to return.

Missouri natives The Big Idea opened up with some stomping good folk-country jams.

A big thanks to Devin and Garrett (not pictured) for hanging out late with us and hosting. Can't wait to be back again!

Reconnecting with our friends in Lawrence, Kansas, tonight who are hosting a house party for us! Stay tuned for more!

Our second day in DFW started nicely with sleeping in and singing songs in the beautiful Newman home. After some sushi-side set list slangin' we headed to the Crown and Harp for some folky fun.

Jacob Metcalfe kicked off the night with some wonderful tunes, followed by Y'all Wells, and Clint Niosi closing out the night after us.

Big thanks to James and Charlsie at The Crown and Harp, as well as everyone who played and stayed to listen!

Tonight we play all the way up in Columbia, MO at The Bridge (http://thebridgecolumbia.com) @ 10:30!

Stay tuned for more updates!
