January 10th: Happy New Year
Happy New Year to you all! We hope your first week of 2014 has gone well and that you haven't been too hard on yourself if you've already broken some of them resolutions.
2013 seemed to be a struggle for a lot of us, but the one thing that kept putting a smile on our face were the shows we played, the people we met and the relationships that seemed to grow stronger throughout 2013. From PEI to Vancouver Island, we played more shows than we ever had before. We played to 32000 people at Macmahon stadium and to 3 people in Val Des Monts and each night we considered ourselves lucky that we got to share these songs together and with you. Thanks to everyone who came to a show, listened with an open heart, shared the songs, said a few kind words, made fun of the way I say Banana and gave us a good meal, bed to sleep in and animals to cuddle with.
We hope 2014 treats you kindly and we look forward to seeing some of you throughout the year, our next show is:
Saturday 18th January at The Northern Lights Folk Club here in Edmonton

January 17th: Wintertime
A happy New Year to everyone, we hope 2012 is a good one for you all. Our free Christmas single titled 'New Year' is still available at the link below if anyone missed out.
We have a couple of wintery shows this January, first off we're in Calgary this Saturday at The Area for 'Winter Retreat' with a bunch of Edmonton and Calgary bands. This was arranged by our friends at Sparrow Tree Productions, you can read all about these wonderful people here.
Then at the end of the month we will be playing 'The Tip of the Iceberg Festival' at Churchill Sqaure with a plethora of Edmonton talent, we're on at 9pm, but there will be music from 12pm, it's in a giant heated tent so there is no excuse not to go all day.
And finally 'hollow ponds' is popping up on various 2011 lists including CKUA's top 100 and CBC's Key of A 'Best of Alberta 2011'. Thanks again to anyone who bought this album or just enjoyed a song from it at some point.
