You don't want to miss this.

Unless you hate us (but then why are you here, that's super weird). The band will be playing the new CD along with material from the from the first Clip Records release. One Longfellow Square. Congress Street in Portland. The show starts at 8. Doors around 7.

Here are the things that we know so far:

1. Guns, the monkey from our new video, will be making a guest appearance.
2. Said video will be shown during the set.
3. Old Soul, one of Portland's favorite indie folk bands, will be starting.
4. Advance ticket buyers receive free copies of the CD.

If you don't have tickets yet, click here to get yours now! There will be some tickets available at the door.

After the surprise nod from the last Portland Phoenix of 2011, we had a number of people ask us about a Portland show. We had to scramble a bit and the lovely people of One Longfellow were able to fit us in.

Our We Are Revealed celebration party will be held February 23rd at 8PM. Our special guest is Portland's beloved Old Soul.

It'll be a great show with the band, friends, booze, a monkey named Guns and free copies of the CD for advance ticket buyers.

Get your tickets early here!

It's not Junior Varsity. These shots were taken August 23rd, 2011 by Portland, Maine photographer Jessica Verry. It was our first Portland performance of the new CD and a first with the full band.

As always, Terez from Blue on Congress St. was a gracious host. The show was sold out. We have wonderful friends.

Go have a look at Jessica's capitivating shots.

We've started adding more shows before the CD comes out in October. The solo shows in Vermont and Portland were a lot of fun. If you came out, thanks for being a test subject. 😉

The rest of the shows are with the band: Tim McNamara (guitar, bass) and Leslie Deane (vocals, percussion, keyboards). They're ridiculously talented and I'm thankful for their presence.

Here are the dates that we have so far (more pending including Europe):

August 5 - Burlington, VT - 7PM - Radio Bean
August 19 - Brooklyn, NY - 1230PM - Goodbye Blue Monday
August 23 - Portland, ME - 7PM - Blue

There are other U.S. shows pending for September/October. The European tour takes us to the UK and France. We wanted to hit Ireland but time and timing proved impossible.

We've been enjoying ourselves. If you have a chance to come out, say hello.

A fan emailed this photo from my last show at The Big Easy. She asked me to not credit her for some reason. Maybe she's on the lam or embarrassed that her photos were blurry.

Either way, thanks good citizen of the music world. 🙂

Next show is at Blue in Portland in August. Details on Twitter soon. Also, Boston and NY are on the slate for early September or October...some people more talented than I are working on this.

I'll be running through the new material...testing it out live. We're hoping for a raucous Halloween mood. Maybe I'll break out one of my Lady Gage costumes.
