Peace in the New Year

Well, it's almost the night before Christmas and the house it full of anticipation! Certainly for the Holidays but also for the arrival of Baby #2. We're enjoying some down time, Pete's playing locally with some other musicians and Anne's writing some new songs. Hope you have a Happy and Peace-filled Holiday Season.

All Things Red

The phenomenal fall foliage greeted us in New England, our favorite was the Red Maple. Then a special evening in Fall River, Mass. with a talented band called Red Molly. We're so grateful to all our hosts over this month long tour, thank you for opening up your homes and hearts. Anne is growing bigger as her January due date approaches!

Friendly Avenue

North Carolina's sweet sunshine and warm communities have been such a treat in October. Feeling very at home, we've played to full houses sharing our old favorites (like Will You Walk With Me and Carry Me Over) plus a few new songs too. Thank you to our incredible host families. We've tried hush puppies and Cheerwine but decided to skip on the deep fried snickers bars at the State Fair. Anne sings with our good friends from the Prairie Home Companion Contest, Sarah and Lee.

Playing Banjo with Friends

The past month has given Pete a chance to pick a little banjo with some Colorado friends.

Keep the legs moving!

While on the road, we try to keep from getting too sore and stiff. Here's an action shot from the last 3000 mile tour from Colorado's Four Corners Festival to Oregon's Sisters Folk Festival!

New Mexico BUGS!!

Pete decided to make nice to this giant ant in the Albuquerque Biopark. Good thing because the giant bee was scarey....

Lander PBS and llamas

Driving to Lander was a piece of cake this time. We stopped at few playgrounds on the way, drank good coffee and played for a fun crowd in a HOT barn! The concert was filmed and will air on Wyoming PBS this fall. Leah fed llamas at our lodgings for the evening.
We like to think this fella was just heading to town for a few lbs of sugar, a gallon of lard and some new fiddle strings!
