We're happy to report that our first cross-country tour was a success! We played gigs in 16 states: Kentucky, Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, Texas, Illinois, Tennessee, Ohio, New York, Maine and Vermont – driving over 13,000 miles – in 7 weeks! Here's a photo album with snapshots I took on our journey. We want to thank all of the clubs who booked us and all of the great fans and friends who came out to support our very first cross-country tour! We really enjoyed seeing the country and meeting new people, and we're already planning some more North American tours, so stay tuned!

We also had a big season for festivals, and want to thank Groovefest (Cedar City UT), Utah Arts Fest (Salt Lake City UT), Tall City Blues Fest (Midland TX), Buddy Guy and Indian Ranch (Webster MA), North River Blues Fest (Marshfield MA), JP Music Fest (Jamaica Plain MA) and Heatherfest (Norton MA) for having us this year! See pics from these events at our Facebook photo stream!

In other news, we'd like to introduce our newest Delta Swinger: Matt Charles, on harmonica! The young Chicago harp player joined us in the middle of the tour (when Sonny Jim Clifford was unable to continue). He's since relocated to Boston and will be on tour with us as our touring harp player and understudy to Rosy. Be sure to say hi to him the next time you see us!

We have plenty of shows coming up from now until the end of the year (see our schedule below), and now that the busy season is over we're beginning to work on some new, fun projects to share with you. We are working on a way to share live recordings, demos, and some of my early early recordings with you, and we'll also be working on our second album. Thanks as always for your support!
 
Love & delta blues!
xo,
~Erin and the boys
