Langerado Florida 3/6/08

This installment of from the road is coming to you from our van traveling between Memphis, TN and Bloomington, IL. Back on I55. We played Langerado down in Florida last weekend to a sun burnt and energetic crowd. Thanks to everyone for packing in and giving us a chance to entertain you all. We had the opportunity to hang out at the festival for a couple days after playing and were able to make some new friends and reconnect with some old ones. I do think that much sun was tough for us Midwesterners after the winter we had. We camped and our neighbors were great to us. Thanks to Tom, Kathi, and Candace. We played a bunch of sessions and interviews that are going to be up on the internet; some of them include: Jambase tv, Relix Cold Turkey, Earphoria and others. Thanks to Tim from Railroad Earth for sitting in. I got to see Blind Melon. Congratulations and best wishes to those guys. We left exhausted and sunburnt and ready to drive. We spent a day with Goober in Gulf Shores, AL. Happy Birthday Turkey.

Last night we had the honor of recording at the Legendary Sun Studio in Memphis, TN. Its tough to put into words the feel this place has and the feeling I had last night. We were all walking on air. The whole thing was filmed to be released on a couple of blogs. The one I know its going to be on for sure is called Earvolution. We went in with plans to record five songs and ended up doing fourteen. I’m happy to thank Jeff who set the whole thing up, James and Matt our engineers that night, the video crew, our new friends from Beale St. Caravan, and our tour guide. We took a tour before the session and were inspired by the history of the place and the people who made such beautiful music there. Enjoy the photos. We can’t wait to come back. We’ll be sure to let everyone know when the music and video become available. Coolest thing I think I’ve ever done. I’m sure everyone agrees. We’re home for a day and then up in Joliet at Heroes and Legends. We’re doing tons of shows coming up all over the country so come out and see us soon.

It was nice to be back in the ATL at Smithe's Olde Bar. It was a good thursday night for rocking and rolling. We would like to thank the staff at Smithe's for everything. It is a great room for music, however, the load-in is really something else. Bloodkin is a really fuckin' good band from Athens, GA. Bloodkin rocked. The next day we went down to Macon, GA. The place we played is called The Hummingbird and what a great rock club it is. Thanks to Vic for treating us so well. We like free hotel rooms. It was good to hang out with Abbey Owens, a fellow musician who has played there at the Hummingbird. We hope to return there soon. Next time we need to see the Georgia Music Hall of Fame, as well as Duane Allman's, Elizabeth Reed's, and Barry Oakley's graves. Bloodkin rocked, again. It was fun to hang out with some of those guys late night back at the HoJo. The next day we drove to Jacksonville, FL. Freebird Live is a relly nice music venue. This place is located just a stones throw from the Atlantic Ocean. It was nice to see some folks from The Simple Man Cruise (Brian and company). We had fun playing at such a nice sounding loud room. Thanks for having us play Judy. Ed sat in with Bloodkin for three tunes towards the end of their set. And Bloodkin rocked once again. I like their song "Easter Eggs."
