Hey Ivey fans!!

 We're really excited about this coming weekend, we have three great shows for you guys to check out!

First, if you live in El Paso Texas (or near the area) we're going to be playing a Christmas show @ Lozada Cafe (1188 North Yarbrough Drive) at 6PM with a couple of great bands including The Dwellers, 1 Year 2 Long, and Kristy...!!!! Everyone please come out and listen to the Christmas carols both old and new:)

 For those of you who don't live in the area or who aren't able to make it out to that show, we're going to be playing on Dan Alloway's "Folk Fury" Christmas Radio Show.  It's going to be an awesome night filled with live acoustic Christmas music from us and other artists!  You can listen to it live on ktep.org at 7PM MT this Saturday or on channel 88.5fm.  Don't forget it is this Saturday @ 7pm MT!  It will be a Christmas Party to remember!

Here's a link to an article written about us and the Folk Fury Radio Program:
Doug Pullen: "Folk Fury Christmas to showcase area talent"

Lastly, we're going to be playing in El Paso, TX @ the Club 101 "Hands of Love & Hope" Benefit with The Royalty and The Giraffes.  We'll be going on the stage at 7:15PM.  Club 101 is located at 1148 Airway Boulevard.
"Hands of Love & Hope" is a benefit concert for the orphans of Juarez. Feel free to bring blankets, clothes, canned goods, toys or any other gifts you can provide for the children!
It's for a great cause, come on out and join with us in giving these kids a Christmas to remember!!

We'll see you this weekend!:)

This has been a very hard day for us. 
We woke up this morning to find that our car had been broken into and all of the electronics/valuables had been stolen.

We have an absolutely amazing family, what makes it really hard is that a lot of the electronics we had in our car were lent to us by family members to help us on the road.
Our parents let us borrow our family's camcorder.  GONE.  Our dad lent us his GPS.  GONE.  Our little brother and sister loaned us all of their DVD's.  GONE. 
They stole Arlen's wallet, credit cards, they even stole his tape recorder that had all of his newly recorded songs on it as well as many more personal items that were lent to us as well as our own.

Though of course we hate that our things have been stolen, we are still very blessed.  They are material objects.
  We have had an amazing time on the road and we have met amazing people and seen amazing things.  All three of us are healthy and none of us have been hurt, this tour is one for the storybooks!  And we still have more to go!!

Again, we are very grateful for all of the blessings we have received and the amazing people we have met on the road.  Thank you to everyone for all of your thoughts and prayers.

We are looking forward to seeing you at our next stop!!

Lots of love,
Jessica, Arlen & Jillian

9/11
Today is September 11th.  It has been eight years since the towers fell, but still in the faces of those who lost the ones they love, you can see remnants of the destruction as if only moments before the planes hit and took them to the ground.
Through the dark we stood strong, proud Americans behind a broken city, offering our prayers, our hands and our hearts, then and still even now.
That night so long ago, the city bent its head and cried, mourning those who wouldn’t walk out of the rubble.
Our nation was shaken and those that hurt us thought we had been brought to our knees. They may have taken the towers down but we would never fall.
We are a nation under God.   We are Americans.   That day we understood what those words meant.
Americans can be bent, hurt, even hated, but we can never be crushed because of our faith.  That faith gives us the strength, the power and the love to pick ourselves up, to work together to make this great nation stronger then it was before and fight through the darkest of times when despair threatened or threatens to overwhelm us.
Today we look back and we may shed tears, but we must not forget the strength of every American.  We must remember we were not broken, but merely bent.

Our first night in Santa Fe we had an amazing time playing at Santa Fe Brew Pub with Jennings and Keller(myspace.com/jenningsandkeller)!!  They put on a great show and we had a lot of fun playing for everyone at the Pub!
Last night was our final show in Santa Fe at Cowgirl Bar & Grill.  We played with John Courage(myspace.com/johncourage) who also put on a great show!  The people at Cowgirl were very cool and the food was terrific!  Thank you to everyone who came to the shows, and a special thank you to our friends from Colorado who came all the way out to Santa Fe to see us perform!
We’re now heading back to Texas (Woohoo!!  Ha ha!), we’re going to be playing in Lubbock tonight @ The Blue Light Live.  We’re looking forward to it!

So last night was our final show in Albuquerque, it was very cool!!
We played at Winning Coffee Co.(or as all the locals call it "Winning's").  We had some old friends, some friends who came to see us from El Paso, new friends, and all in all it was a great night!!
We wanted to send a special "thank you" to Tim, DD, Joseph and Laina for coming out!!  You guys are the BEST!!!

Right now we're getting ready for our show here in Santa Fe, Arlen is taking a LONG time to get ready for the ladies!  Ha ha!  Or at least we girls think so!

We also have a mascot with us on our tour.  Our little sister gave us her stuffed animal as our "travel buddy" so he's tagging along with us!  We'll be posting pictures of ALL of us soon!  Ha ha!

Jessica and the rest of "The Iveys"

We are officially on tour!!  We are really excited to be playing in Albuquerque NM, Santa Fe, Lubbock TX, Amarillo, Dallas, Austin and San Antonio!

 Last night was our first show in Albuquerque, we were supposed to play at the Blackbird Buvette.   We set up our equipment and were ready to play but then there were some complications that canceled the show.
We were very disappointed, but in the end there were a group of great guys who offered us to play at "Tim's" house.
We had a blast!!!  What started out as a really bad evening turned out to be a great one!!  They were awesome and it was a night we'll never forget!!  Thank you to Tim and everyone else who joined in the party with us!
Hopefully there will be many more stories like this one for us to share with you as we're on the road!!

See you soon!
Arlen, Jessica & Jillian
