We’ve got a fun weekend coming up with some family and some not-so-family events on the calendar.  On Friday we hit up the Harvest Cafe in Hudson, as we play a mostly acoustic show for the dinner crowd.  On Saturday we travel to the Blind Pig Pub in Athol for an Anne Boleyn Beheading Celebration.  Your guess is as good as ours as to what that’s all about, but we think it will be a blast.  And then on Sunday afternoon we team up with Pumpkin Head Ted for an all-ages, family-friendly concert at Gallery X in New Bedford.  PHT is a fun, eclectic ensemble that we’re really looking forward to sharing the stage with.

We hope you can join us for one of the shows!

Dear friends,

As a rule we try to avoid online contests and asking our fans to vote for us at some annoying website.  We’re making an exception this time around, because we have a chance to open Radio 92.9′s EarthFest in a couple of weeks.  This music festival will feature national acts like Third Eye Blind and the Spin Doctors, and will attract more than 10,000 fans.

We’ve been chosen as one of 10 local acts to compete for the opening slot.  Please take a moment to vote for us here. You’ll have to create an account to log in, but it’s free and only takes a minute.  If we make it into the top 4 based on votes, then we’ll play in a battle of the bands next week, where the winner will be picked.  We’d much rather decide all of this based just on music and performance, but the voting process is the required next step.

Thanks for all of your support!  Please do take a minute to vote for us at: www.myradio929.com/local929/index.aspx
