We’ll be joining our friend Secret Agent 23 Skidoo this Sunday at 2 pm at the Orange Peel in Asheville for the CD release party of his new record, “Make Believers.” We’re on two tracks of the album, which is terrific. 
The video we made for “Rain Remember” is going to be shown as part of Music Video Asheville, a cool annual event that showcases local filmmakers and musicians.
We’re stoked to get our home made video (that we made for a home-recorded song) on the big screen!
This Saturday from 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm we play our first ever vintage motorcycle show at the Southern Appalachian Brewery!
Wow, Shakori Hills was super duper! Thanks to everyone who took the time to listen to us play. We had a rockin’ set with Dave Hartman on Friday, and on Saturday JasonĀ Ringenberg of Jason & the Scorchers sat in with us on the Scorchers hit, “Can’t Help Myself,” which was written by Tim Krekel. The weekend was full of sunshine, sweet people and great music.

We are looking forward to returning the the Shakori Hills Grassroots Festival of Music & Dance (near Chapel Hill) next week. We played the very first Shakori Hills, and several others after that, but it’s been a couple years since we’ve been back. As a special treat, Dave Hartman of Southern Culture on the Skids will be joining us for our set on the Grove Stage Friday at 6 pm. It’ll rock. However, if you love Krekel’s one-man-band drums, you can see/hear them during our set on Saturday afternoon in the Cabaret Tent. We’re looking forward to playing, visiting with friends, and to hearing some of the great music that will be there.
The Doo-Nanny. Always one of the highlights of our year.

Here’s a video from our set opening for Southern Culture on the Skids at the Grey Eagle last Friday. We get to do it all again tonight at the Handlebar in Greenville, SC. Hot diggity!
We’re looking forward to opening for our heroes Southern Culture on the Skids two times this month. Friday, March 16 at the Grey Eagle in Asheville and Friday, March 23 at the Handlebar in Greenville, SC. Yeehaw!
