Happy April Fool’s Day, y’all!
Thanks for having fun w/ us today!
W/ all due respect to all the talent competitions & their contestants (who work their butts off to make their dreams come true), those types of contests aren’t our style. We DO appreciate all the support we have been given & we DO believe in the music that we create. We also truly believe in the power...
We made it!!! Tune in on May 14th as we will be on this year’s “America’s Got Talent!!!”
It’s been a hard road trying to make it on our own, playing the original music that we create, so we thought we’d give this a try. We know this is a BIG competition, and it may be hard to win, but we have the greatest support from all of our family, friends, and fans....

Fan outreach is strongest!
A lot of folks say they’d like to see us open for Rodrigo Y Gabriela on their upcoming US tour. We’ve put the word out to their management but fan outreach is worth way more. If you think we’d be a great match, tell them either on their FB wall (http://www.facebook.com/rodgab) or tweet to @rodgab (http://www.twitter.com/rodgab)
Thanks y’all!

They work in that Shengen zone of music that combines many styles in a hybrid that exceeds all music of origin. ...
