Well, we've made it to 2012. I'll have to admit, 2011 was a pretty good year. 56 shows, over 6000 miles travelled, nearly 200 albums sold and a ton of new friends met along the way. I got confined to in-state shows only, but made it out to a lot of first time stops. There isn't much more I could have asked for.

Writing is the task at hand, so I don't think shows will be as frequent in the coming months. Of course, I may be wrong, some cool things could drop out of the sky, but for now, I'm planning on taking it easy. I did bass parts for Ben Hall's new album over the break and will be doing backup vocals and some resonator on some tracks, as well. I don't plan on recording another album for a long time, but I'm considering recording bits and pieces for release on Bandcamp as I create them.

Speaking of the Bandcamp site, I have put the album up for a free download. You have the option to donate some cash if you want, but it is available for free download, so you have no excuse not to check it out. Let's get the flyers out there so we can get some folks at the gigs!

That's all I have for now. I will get getting the site updated soon. Maybe a redesign, frequent blog updates, gear updated and all sorts of goodies. Keep checking back!

Tomorrow, Huke Green and I will be holding it down over at The Dirty Bay Beer Company from noon to 4 pm as part of the Christmas on Texas Avenue festivities. If you're in the area, come visit us and say hi! We'll be selling CDs, shirts, playing 4 hours of tunes and more.

Later in the month, we go into the big city for a stop at Khon's on 12/9 and another at re:HAB on 12/10. Pencil at least one of those in, it'll be a good time. On the 16th, Nathan Taylor and I will be doing a set in Dallas at Opening Bell Coffee. It'll be a good time!

That's all I have for right now. Visit the Bandcamp site to buy the album and keep tuning back!

It may be a tad last minute, but we got tapped to play a benefit show in Baytown at Pelican Junction. It is to benefit the family of Tony Rimpley, so that they may make accommodations for him, since he has autism. Please come out and donate. If you buy a digital download of the CD in the next 48 hours, the money will be given to the family.

Other than that, we've got some more gigs lined up. Saturday night, we'll be out at Dunn Bros in Friendswood for our monthly visit. Next Saturday, Chicago Italian Beef and Pizza, then 2 weeks after that we go into the big city for a stop at Khon's on 12/9 and another at re:HAB on 12/10. Pencil at least one of those in, it'll be a good time.

That's all I have for right now. Visit the Bandcamp site to buy the album and keep tuning back!
