Here it is, folks.    ..

We're excited to announce that Al Gamble will be joining us at the Lyric in Oxford, MS Thursday night.  He played in the badass Gamble Brothers Band with our drummer (and his brother) Chad for many years, and we're excited to have him.  Hope ya'll can make it out.

A special snapshot: Jason joined Warren Haynes and Gov't Mule on Sunday night in Raleigh for a cover of Neil Young's "Don't let it Bring You Down."

Current mood:  adventurous
Hello, folks.  Having a sit-down on the new couch, watching the Braves tear up San Fran, thinking I should let you all know how things have been going lately.  

First and foremost, we're very excited about the Music for Marines benefit at the Shoals Theatre Wednesday night.  It's for a great cause, and Sons of Roswell and Barrelmouth will be playing with us, both bands chock full of Greenhill natives, so you should really try to come out.  

My old cohorts, the Drive-By Truckers (still don't know if that hyphen should be there or not) are playing the same venue on Thursday and Friday night, and I'm really happy about the fact that they're playing a hometown show.  I think it'll be great for the area and the local scene, and it could go a long way toward establishing the Theatre as a real music venue.  Cheers to them, for sure.  I won't be able to make those shows, much to my chagrin, as we have to leave for K.C. on Thursday evening.  Ya'll go, though, and let me know how it turns out.  I'm sure it'll be great.  

Want to give a special thanks to Zack Gooch for joining us on last weekend's run through Colorado and Utah.  He did a fantastic job and we truly had a great time hanging out and making music with him.  

Our distinguished guitarist, Browan, has a website up now for his incredible artwork, www.browanlollar.com, and I strongly suggest you check it out.  He has some great stuff, and his paintings are pretty good, too, if you know what I mean.   

On the personal front, I just finished a move back across the river to Sheffield, and I'm very happy about the living quarters.  I'm sure to be playing a ton of pool when I'm home, so if you're game, come join me at the room.  You know the one, I'm sure.  Just make sure you bring enough dough to cover your losses (or your bar tab).  I got stiffed last week, and I'm still pissed about it. 

We're smack dab in the middle of the W.C. Handy Blues festival, so I may be out this week, sitting in with some friends.  I'll try to remember to put a notice up on Twitter regarding where I'll be in case anybody wants to come see.   Happy summer to everybody.  

-Jason
