Hello, you lovely misfits.We are headed back up to Alaska this summer for our NINTH TOUR up there! Can you believe it? We can. We're already excited for our 10th!

We went into Tiny Telephone the other day and had a fantastic time laying some tracks with our engineer, Rob. Everything went smoothly and it was a whole lot of fun. We can't yet tell you a precise release date, or even a vaguely optimistic one, but you can rest assured we will be ramping up celebrations for it so you can find out all about it here. Eventually. In the meantime, here are some pictures of our new happy place.
Until then, you can catch us in San Francisco and around the Bay Area. Our regular full band shows right now are every 2nd Wednesday of the month at Blondie's in the Mission (on Valencia, between 16th and 17th) and every 4th Friday of the month at Club Deluxe (near the famous corner of Haight and Ashbury). Keep an eye on the Tour Dates page for all other performances in and around the Bay Area.Thanks for stopping by, friends!--Tumbledown House "Anyway, all these computers and digital gadgets are no good.

Time to Ramble On
Fresh off a quick tour through Colorado (that was GREAT; thank you Coloradans, and friends and family from afar!!), we are back in Bozeman with 3 shows in 4 days. After that, we head to Whitefish to mix our album with Brett Allen of SnowGhost Studios. Then we make our way south, back to Prescott, Arizona. At that time we'll be sending our album to Airshow in Boulder, CO to be mastered by the best of the best. Then we'll turn around and head back to Bozeman by mid-December. We'll spend some time playing up at the Big Sky Resort, and before we know it we'll be heading to Memphis in February for another Folk Alliance Conference in the land of the dry-rub barbecue. By the end of April, we will be touring across the entire southern United States.Shadowfax, Lord of All Tour Vehicles, has his work cut out for him. I still prefer to think of him as a her. But that's neither here nor there.Wednesday (TONIGHT!), 10/5 @ Starky's, Bozeman, MT (6:30)Friday, 10/7 @ Choppers, Big Sky, MT (with FULL BAND) (8pm)Saturday 10/8 @ Ted's, Bozeman, MT (7:30pm)Friday, 10/14 @ The Raven (Our-Album-Is-Almost-Done!

We are excited to wrap up this second album of ours; everything is going well and there has been a whole lotta luck thrown in for good measure. We can't wait to see what you think. But for now, it's time to ramble on. See on down the road.
