A gig in Nebraska has to include Mac's!

Our incredible hosts in McCooke, Nebraska helped us to indulge with dinner at Mac's! This drive-in eatery has been the locals' favorite for many years. Still prepared onsite, the food at Mac's was REALLY good! We had spent 14 hours on the road and still enjoyed sitting in the car that evening for some American dining.

Connecticutting Loose!

Our wonderful friends, Rani Arbo and Scott Kessel joined us for a few tunes in thier hometown of Middletown, CT at the Buttonwood Cultural Center. A great evening that brought Pete back to his heavy metal roots when Scott started drumming!

Western Slope, Colorado

The second half of May's touring brought us into the mountains. Salida, Paonia and Gunnison came out in droves to support us!! We never got lost thanks to a new GPS from a Denver friend, and Leah stayed busy playing with kids every stop of the way. Our friend and wonderful musician, Andrea Early, joined us for some songs in beautiful Salida, CO.

Colorado - The Front Range

Snow on our way to Laramie, rain into Lyons and spring sunshine in Denver. The first weekend of our Colorado (Wyoming) tour kept us in the moment. Each show carried it's own special touch: with homebrew and wings, rain on the roof and standing room only. Thank you for the group hugs and supporting the dream! Anne, Brian Eyster and Martha Scanlan hang out at Planet Bluegrass' Wildflower Pavillion.

Merlefest and ice cream

Merlefest proved once again to be an inspiration and joy for us to be part of! We made new friends, caught up with old ones and soaked in the North Carolina kindheartedness for four wonderful days. We also bumped into the beautiful mother and daughter duet, Lee and Sarah Atkinson (standing next to Pete in the photo), we had met on a Prairie Home Companion last year. Lot's of ice cream helped to round out the weekend.

Here in California

Organic produce, surfing lessons and gifts for our two-year old manager made the last week in California dreamy! Each gig- Carmel, Fresno and Paso Robles - gave us memories of a lifetime. On our last day, as we rode the airport tram to our gate, Leah shouted, "Bye-bye California! See you in a few minutes!" Well, sorry to say we won't be back THAT soon, but, I can say we are excited to already have lots of new friends to visit when we do return.
