It’s hard to believe that 2012 is already coming to a close. We began 2012 not entirely sure that our band would even continue its existence…. What a difference a year makes!

Now in December, we humbly look back on what’s been our best year ever as a band in nearly every way. We owe so much of that to you – for your continued support for our band despite nearly 3 years between albums!

As we look ahead to what 2013 holds in store, we’re more excited than ever! We already have a preliminary batch of tour dates for February and March with Mike Mains and the Branches & Dinner and a Suit:
