It's been a busy couple months here in Mingotownfieldville... A few thousand miles worth of shows in August led us to TN, PA, NY, VA, NC, NJ, ME and back to Tejas. Awesome to see old friends and so many new faces joining the party! September has seen some fantastic shows: here in Austin, the legendary Levitt Shell in Memphis, another show in Nashvegas and topping it off with our first show ever for the Big Spring Jam in Alabama...opening for EARTH WIND & FIRE!
Warming up the crowd for EWF! |
In between shows we spent a few days at The Lodge recording studio in northern Mississippi. Did we mention the studio is located inside of TishoMINGO County? Hmm..

We recorded half a dozen tunes in 3 days and shot the whole session in gorgeous high definition video courtesy of our good friends at Palmtree Productions. We can't thank Anne and Jason Palmer and the crazy talented crew from Palmtree enough for helping us to capture our time in my home state. Thanks to David Duncan and William Coats at The Lodge for letting us camp out and have a blast! And very special thanks to our friend Michael Graham of the Paul Thorn Band (and a top notch engineer in his own right) for the tasty gear and for lending us his golden ears for a couple days!

Anne & Jason also made it out to Big Spring Jam in Huntsville last week to shoot some of our opening set for EWF. It was truly an honor to warm up the crowd for such a legendary group...and their show was NUTS!

We're sorting through hours and hours of footage and hope to have a little taste of things to come before too long.
As always, thanks so much for your support, sincerely - you guys rock!
