Double Bass at the Garden Cafe

Thanks to those who braved the weather last night. We had a great time, as always, at the Garden Cafe on Broadway in downtown, Grove City.

We introduced our newest secret weapon, Mr. Rob Stuckert on double bass! Come out and catch us soon. We are truly a four man gentleman band:)

Good old Garden Cafe on Broadway in Grove City! We LOVE playing in this intimate coffee and beer house. They have a great selection of drinks and regulars. Check this place out. We'll be playing there again next Friday.

Clintonville Festiville

Well... we had a great time at the first ever Clintonville Festiville. The weather even cooperated and we had sunny skies the entire time we played!

We were nestled in between the wonderful Seventh House Moon band and the Sacred Shimmy Belly Dancers. Can't go wrong with that for a line up. It felt good to be back home in Clintonville. Lots of great music, booths, food, sound techs and friends. Thanks for coming out to see us.

Make sure to check out our likes on the side bar and visit Wholly Craft soon. Thank Olivera Bratich for all of her hard work and commitment to making Festiville a reality.

Thanks to our friend Cory Wiseman for the photos.

Wooster

Thanks for a great time Wooster. You never disappoint!

Clintonville Farmers' Market

We had a delightful time playing as a two-man band today in Clintonville. Ben will be back with us on our next outing.

Garden Cafe on Broadway, Grove City, OH June 16, 2012

Wow - we had a great time in Grove City. If you haven't been to the Garden Cafe yet, get on down there. Very nice folks with a tremendous beer selection. Sounds like they may be expanding in the near future. We'd love to play there on a regular basis and it's Randy's home base.

Harmony!

Ben Phillips on the saw.

Some of our young fans. It's hard to compete with technology, but compete we will:)

Got some good video, but it will take some time and Randy's expertise before we can get it up. Hang on and we'll get it up and running.

COMFEST June 24, 2012

Bucket list goal of playing COMFEST: Achieved!

What great fans! The Howes made shirts just for the event. Thanks Jason & Kate.

Sound check.

Don't start without Randy.

An Elephant Never Forgets: An original song about a circus elephant named Mary who killed her abusive trainer and was executed by hanging for the murder in Erwin, Tennessee. This song was written by Jason Hudson and features Ben Phillips on the mournful saw. This video was recorded live at ComFest in Columbus, OH on June 24, 2012. Dedicated to Jason's dad who told him this story.
