Festival Update For 2013

We're still ironing out schedule for festivals and other major shows this coming year, but here's what we know so far!

Saturday, April 13, Juke Joint Festival, Clarksdale, MS:  We are still waiting to get our stage assignment and time but are really looking forward to our 4th straight appearance at the Juke Joint Festival.  As noted since our first ever visit there, it's one of our favorites and in my opinion, one of the best run festivals there is.  There is plenty of "real deal" blues artist, in the "real deal" settings, the actual juke joints of Mississippi, and even outside of the music, there is plenty for the whole family to enjoy.....like the racing pigs, and monkey's riding dogs! While there, check out the coolest store ever, Cat Head.  Here's a look at our visit last year!    Last year, we played at the Delta Amusement Cafe, and the year before we played at Ground Zero! 

Friday, May 17, Lowertown Art and Music Festival, Paducah, KY:  We'll play on the main stage at 4PM, so get there early.  This is a really cool festival featuring music and local art in the city's historic Lowertown district, which has been revitalized as a mecca for local artists.  The festival features the music, art galleries nearby and great food, too!  One cool thing about playing on Friday is our friends, Blue Mother Tupelo will too!  We're among their many fans and always look forward to seeing them perform and saying "hi!"

Saturday, May 25, Shawnee Art & Wine Festival, Murphysboro, IL:  Don't let the website fool ya!  The event has been moved to May this year, on Memorial Day Weekend.  Several of Southern Illinois' finest wineries are on hand for tastings, and great food, too.  We had a blast last year and this year's should be even better!!  We're schedule to play at 2PM on the main stage.

Friday, September 27, BBQ On The River, Paducah, KY:   Our annual gathering with 40,000 or so of our closest friends!  We played the very first one, way back in 1995 and have enjoyed making it our "homecoming" every year since!  Along the way, it's turned into one of the biggest events in the entire Commonwealth of Kentucky, raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for charities.  That's the unique thing which sets this BBQ contest apart. The contestants cook for trophies, but also cook for their adopted charities, who receive the proceeds from the sale of the BBQ to the public!

You can always find a complete listing of our shows HERE!  And it's continually updated as new shows are added.  If you haven't heard, one of our fans is pushing our submission to appear at this year's Bonnaroo Music Festival in June!  That would be a major HOOT!  If you'd like to help with this venture, just click here and like us, and share on your facebook wall!
