Last year, the band  played to no more than 15 peo­ple in a dark alley in West Hele­na, Arkansas. This year, thanks to win­ning the King Bis­cuit Emerg­ing  Artist  award for 2011 (some­one was lis­ten­ing), the band played the main stage at the King Bis­cuit Blues Fes­ti­val. Now with Andy at the wheel, we are on our way to South Car­oli­na. The boys are behav­ing as well as can be expected.

It is four oclock in the morn­ing and we are  almost in Mem­phis. We are head­ed for the King Bis­cuit Blues Fes­ti­val in West Hele­na Arkansas for a mid­day gig on the main stage.

Tomor­row we are off to 16th Annu­al Car­oli­na Down­home Blues Fes­ti­val for two days and on Sun­day we stop in at the Hamp­ton Tap House in Hamp­ton Vir­ginia before head­ing home.
