Out with a bang, but back to work...

World,
Thank you for the support over the last week! There's no better feeling as a musician than that of knowing that people are appreciating what you're doing...and this weekend's shows gave us that feeling; electricity!

Real quick...huge thanks to BOJ, Mike Ingram, Murph, Larry Gates, Gentleman Auction House, and Todd Kessler...all great people who understand how much fun this business can be when you're willing to put in some hard work and show some respect to your peers...it's just a big circle of love, right?

Anyways, Sangamon has about a month off from performing...yes, we all have personal lives that need vacations, but in that time we intend to continue producing...tonight will mark the first session of what should grow into the release of another EP in a few months. Those of you who've seen us live know that we're a little overdue on releasing new material...hold tight, I promise that great tunes are soon to come!

Livin' the dream,
James

New Shows! Big Smiles!

Just a quickie...
June 20th and 21st are gonna be fun, fun, fun! Back-to-back outdoor shows!

Our friends, Bottle of Justus, have invited us to share the Peoria Riverfront stage on Friday, June 20th. Nothing beats performing at an outdoor ampitheatre on the river, we're hyped...Sangamon starts around 8:30, with BOJ to follow.

Then, on June 21st, we'll be taking the stage at Mike 'n Molly's, one of our favorite watering holes, here in Downtown Champaign. The big news here is that Gentleman Auction House has been added to the bill...they've been endlessly wowing audiences for awhile now, be sure to check it! Saturday's show will begin at 8PM with the talented singer/songwriter Todd Kessler, followed by everybody's buddy, Larry Gates as Curb Service. Hope to see you out!

Good day,
James

Rock the Monkey

Hey all-

Thanks to everyone who came out to the Cowboy Monkey last night - hope you enjoyed our return to the Monkey as much as we did! We had a blast hangin' out downtown with some old friends, and hopefully made a few new ones as well. On to D-town and LSB tonight...

Best,

Sean
