Highway 1
Sometimes life experiences are too big, grand, emotional, spiritual, etc. to explain or accurately describe. Words can be so limited and pictures fail to capture the feelings and sensations that accompany a spectacular moment or experience. If you’ve ever been to an awesome concert, or seen something that really inspires you and moves you in your core, and then tried to share it with a friend, you know what I mean. You can only give a glimpse... Read More
California Capital
Our Sacramento show was scheduled for Sunday night at a cafe called The Coffee Garden. Our Couchsurfing host in Sacramento had been in touch with me via text for several days by the time we were getting into town, and we were looking forward to meeting him. Gary is a retired baker with a passion for listening to music and a sweet-tooth for strawberries and anything sugary; he was a baker, after all. We met him Sunday night just before we made our...

Fresno Family Fun
Since we had released our second album, The Radiant Life, I’m happy to say that we were running low on our first installment of CD’s. So we ordered another batch of them, but had to meet them somewhere while on our west coast tour. Coincidently, Bobby has some extended family that live in California, near Fresno; a distant cousin, David Schramm. He builds guitars and has his own business, Schramm Guitars. Naturally, it seems that Bobby... Read More

It has been a labor of love since last Spring, when it all started with our Kickstarter Campaign. Many of you contributed to our... Read More
Do The Charleston!
This may be a little random and considered by some to be nerdy, but did you know that “The Charleston”, a dance that became ‘all the rage’, in the 1920′s, was actually derived from an African-American dance called “The Juba”? African Americans that lived on an island off the coast of Charleston, South Carolina, had been performing the dance since the early 1900′s. It was popularized by composer James... Read More
Summer Tour 2012
6/18/2012 On our way to Iowa today. It’s hotter than hell, somewhere close to 100 degrees, and just a few wimpy clouds sizzle in the sky as they are cooked away by the sun. Driving through Nebraska, we sweat with the windows down, letting the hot wind roar through the car and our tangled hair. We’ve been blasting the iPod and the albums of Whiskeytown, Wilco, Radiohead, Paul Simon and The Rolling Stones over the stereo. Just a few hours... Read More
SXSW Tour
The sign says, Dallas: 252 miles. We’re leaving Amarillo and The 806 behind us for now. Outside my passenger window the scenery has been mostly vast open Texas plains, at times stretching out like an ocean into the horizon. The islands of civilization we occasionally come upon have no shortage of coffee, ice tea, or friendly smiles, making our trip down 30 south a one. Yesterday was day one of our ten day tour through Texas... Read More
