Tour News - July 18, 2010

It’s hard to believe we have just got our body clocks reset to GMT when suddenly its time to re-visit The New World and screw them up once again.

First up on July 30th is the fabulous Northern Lights Theatre at the Potawatomi Bingo Casino in Milwaukee, a really great theatre with amazing sound and lights. We are lucky enough to have the lovely Lisa McClowry and her Band supporting us – should be a great show.

Saturday sees us driving to Minneapolis, a city we have not played in a while. We are at the Dakota Jazz Club for two nights August 1 & 2nd then a long drive Tuesday, August 3rd to Evanston, a northern suburb of Chicago for our first time at a club called Space that evening.

Wednesday is a fly day from Chicago to Orange County, CA where we play an old favorite Thursday night August 5th –The rockin’ Coach House at San Juan Capistrano a legendary rock and roll venue where we always have a great time. Friday is our day off – time to hit the beach.

Saturday, August 7th - Greg’s birthday - sees our return to The Thornton Winery in Temecula, which we have played a record number of times – last time setting the PA speaker on fire only for it decadently to be doused in Crystal Champagne to put it out.

After the show we leave for San Diego for a morning flight to Seattle where on Sunday we play the mighty KWJZ Music Festival at Chateau Ste. Michelle in a lineup that includes Dave Bromberg and Fourplay – should be quite a show.

Then no sooner have we got our pajamas on its time for the early flight back home via New York. A short, but beautiful tour – come out and see us if you can. All of the dates and venues are on our "Touring" page.

Looking forward to a little American sunshine in June.

The Band starts on Saturday, June 19th in St Louis where we are performing for The Institute of Science and Health as a benefit for pancreatic cancer research at the Purser Centre in Logan College. Next day, a quick shower and up at 4:00 am for a flight to Orlando via Charlotte and an evening show at the Plaza Theatre in Orlando - a new venue for us.

A well deserved day off by the beach and then off to see Roland at the King Centre in Melbourne -a favourite venue.

Wednesday sees us skooting across Florida for a date at the State Theatre in St Petersburg . After another early start, we take a flight to Dallas, TX to play Sambuca's Uptown establishment at 2010 McKinney opposite the Ritz - new to us but a great venue.

Friday the 25th sees us driving down to Austin to play at the totally original One World Theatre -an absolute favourite for the Band.

Saturday is our official day off which will mostly be spent travelling to Houston for our Sunday show at Sambuca - such a great place to end our tour.

If you can make it we would love to see you along the way!
