Warrenton show tonight!
Hey everyone!
We're getting excited for the big city show in warrenton tonight! Some of the details:
- "North End" @ Cast Stone Systems (at the back of the complex) // 532 N. Main St. // Warrenton, NC
- Show starts right around 8pm, we'll play two sets
- $10 at the door, kids under 12 are free
- Bring Your Own Beverages (the best kind)
- bring your own chair--you can set up wherever you like given there's enough room
- Directions from downtown Warrenton: when you come up on the building on your right, turn in on the back side of the building--past the water tower.
- Directions from the other way: building is on your left--turn in at the first opportunity--if you pass the water tower you've gone too far.
Hope that helps answer any last minute questions! This'll be a warm welcome home from the drizzly northeast--we're glad to be back!

Special MS Fundraiser show - Friday, 11/30 at Motorco!
Hello all!
We hope you had a fabulously filling Thanksgiving. We're enjoying our food hangovers and feeling very, very thankful.
We wanted to let you know about a special show we're playing just a week from today:
A Benefit to Battle Multiple Sclerosis on Friday, 11/30, at Motorco Music Hall in Durham. We'll be playing a set alongside Magnolia Collective, The Dogwoods, and Django Haskins (of The Old Ceremony)
All proceeds from the show go to the Eastern NC Multiple Sclerosis Society:
"The Eastern NC Chapter serves 5,300 people living with MS. We mobilize people and resources to drive research for a cure and to address the challenges of everyone affected by MS. MS stops people from moving. We exist to make sure it doesn't."
Starting at 5:30 PM there will be festivities in the Garage and the patio area including a bicycle and gear giveaway, free basic bike tuneups, bicycle fun races, food trucks, and acoustic music.
The show will start at 9pm. Tickets $10 adv/$12 door. Get your tickets HERE.
This is a cause that's near and dear to our hearts. Like many of you, we have too many friends and family members who are affected by this disease everyday. We're proud to be a part of this event to help raise both awareness for the disease, and funds for our local chapter of the MS Society.
We reallllllly hope you'll join us! This will be a great night of music and collaboration.
