Belfast Free Range Music Festival + Three Tides

2011-05-05T22:25:00.003-04:00

A quote from the Bangor Daily News in regards to the festival... "Headliner Michael Hurley of Oregon and local favorites the Toughcats packed the house at the Colonial Theatre."...We were very excited to be apart of the Belfast Free Range Music Festival this year. Such a great event, a ton of great music, very well run/organized and it included playing at the same venue and on the same stage as Michael Hurley...We are big fans of his songs and recordings. We also had the good fortune of seeing him in Biddeford at the Oak + the Axe (a great venue by the way) the night before and then enjoyed his set before we got to play..quite a treat. Jake asked him to sign a couple of LP's, including Armchair Boogie..an all time favorite and our gateway to his music...Thanks to John Dietrich for turning us on to him.
We also had a chance to visit Three Tides/Marshal Wharf Brewing for the after party...5 stars..a triple buy it!

Jake was on Sound Opinions

2011-01-24T14:30:00.009-05:00

Show #269 01/21/2011 of one of our favorite radio shows, Sound Opinions from WBEZ Chicago included a phone message from our very own Jake Greenlaw. Go take a listen if you have a chance...Its a great music based radio program and Jake's comments sound really good, almost like he was in the studio with the hosts, Jim DeRogatis and Greg Kot.

Music player and Email List updated

2011-01-20T14:34:00.005-05:00

As you can see up above we have added a new music player and email list sign up option...Both are much easier to for us to manage and hopefully nicer for the folks who decide to use them. We plan to have unreleased and live tracks available from time to time with the new player and for the new email list it allows you to check the info we have and change/update it if you feel the need..including unsubscribing is very easy. If you've signed up in the past it may be worth it to confirm our list is accurate and in fact has your email. We like to ask for city/state info too so we are not for example, sending folks in California, announcements for our Maine dates etc. Though if you don't mind getting an extra email or two you can leave that info out. As a whole though we try to keep the emails to a minimum....We hope you are well and that we'll see you soon..First show of 2011 is coming soon.

Happy Holidays
