As promised, to get ready for this weekend’s “The Festy,” here’s a lil’ tune for all the Bluegrassers out there.  This is a full band version of our fiddle tune, “Coonhound” (written for a very special pup).  Live from WNRN’s Birthday party last month!

Wow, Cville… What a great night! Thanks to our good friends WNRN (here’s to another 15 yrs!!!). Big ups to our old friend Elizabeth & The Catapult and new friends, Ha Ha Tonka!!! View high resolution

Hi, MoJa Friends!!!

We hope you all are about to have a nice holiday weekend with good family & friends.  We also hope that Irene didn’t badly affect anyone too much and that if it did, the recovering is going well & quickly.
We are a bit sad to see that summer is coming to a close, but we had a blast in the last few months with some fun festivals & shows as a duo & with our Quartet.  One highlight was definitely getting to play The Kennedy Center’s Millennium Stage a few weeks ago (you can watch our entire set by following the link below).  And before summer truly ends we’ll be playing with our Quartet a week from today for a rare show in our hometown of Charlottesville, VA (see below).

Many thanks to all who continue to support our music.  As a unique group that doesn’t fit into one specific genre, it takes a community of awesome friends to help spread the word and we want to thank you for helping us with our journey!

Happy August, MoJa Friends!!!

How has the summer gone by so fast?  It’s not quite over in our minds yet!!!

We had a blast at FloydFest’s 10th Anniversary this past weekend.  We only played one set this year, but it was a set to remember for sure, although we did indeed have power this year!  We played opposite of Old Crow Medicine Show on the Main stage and their big sound carried over to the stage we were on, so in between songs we’d try and play along with their tunes ;) 

Earlier in the day we met Whit Wright (Pedal Steel) from the band American Aquarium and his friend Rachel.  They were kind enough to come to check out our set over Old Crow’s and Rachel wrote a really nice re-cap of her own on her blog.  Check it out here: “Rach in the Real World.”

We’re hoping some video will come soon, but photo above is a cool shot taken by Gary Reckard.
