Hey friends!

We can't thank you all enough for making 2009 our best year yet. Between the new record, multiple US tours and all the new friends/partners that we have made along the way I have to say this has been a success.

As a small token of our sincerity we are giving YOU an exclusive download of a new cover of "Big Country" (by Big Country) for your listening pleasure. Just click the big green button below that reads "1 FREE DOWNLOAD", enter your email address (then verify) and then you be taken to the download link. It take 1 min and is very easy.

Hope you enjoy listening to the song as much as we enjoyed making it.

Happy holidays!!!

Bad news here folks...apparently Madison, WI is about to get hit by a blizzard of epic proportions and the show for tomorrow night has officially been postponed. We were just notified of this by the promoter. We do apologize and are already making plans to return in February.


Additionally, the Benefit Concert in WP scheduled to be at the Civic Center on Saturday night has also been postponed to a later date due to other circumstances beyond our control. However, we'll still be appearing at the WP Christmas Parade on Saturday as Grand Marshals. That kicks off at 1pm.  


And yes, we're planning on busting out the old Zizzer letter jackets for the parade...


Sorry again about those 2 shows folks! Brian

We'll be taking a break for Thanksgiving and then embarking on one more 2009 tour which will be announced on Oct. 19th.  All I can say about that one, is that it ends on Dec. 12th in West Plains where we'll be serving as Grand Marshals of the WP Christmas Parade and performing at a benefit concert that evening @ The Civic Center!

It's has been quite a year for us so far.  The response to our new record 'Novel Sounds of the Nouveau South' has been incredible and for that we can't say thanks enough!  If you haven't yet picked up a copy, here's a link where you can remedy that - http://www.hahatonkamusic...com/shop/index.htm

Best,
