WELL, LOOK WHO IT IS...

It's you guys, checking up on dear ol' Sweetbriar! Too bad for you, for one night only we are Stormy Steve and the Teardrops. That's a lie, but I'm pretty sure we'll start making cracks about changing our band name. Chances are, we'll tailor the band-name-changing joke to whoever we're playing with at the time.

Possibilities include:
Steve Be Told
The Always Favorites
Fathers of Bill
7 Day Bender
The U.S. Coalition

The list goes on and on! Yep, we're a clever bunch of kids. You're just lucky you get to benefit from it. Speaking of benefit, I want to invite everyone to come out to our show... later today - Thursday, April 24, at Satellite Ballroom: Benefit concert for Students Helping Honduras. Come check us out with a couple of other local favorites (Tim Be Told and Sam Wilson from Sons Of Bill, among others), all the while supporting the increased funding of education for students in Honduras. Sounds like a good enough cause to condone getting rowdy with your favorite local musicians, including us.

Here's some good news: we rolled with a late-night practice on Monday and came up with two brand-spanking-new songs that we might even play for you if you come out to the Ballroom. I'm beginning to notice a trend... the last time we practiced was a little over a month ago, before opening for Virginia Coalition - and that practice yielded two new songs as well!
Imagine if we practiced once a week...

Anyway, try to get out to Satellite and see us, but if not, high-tail it over to Pi Kappa Phi, where we'll be doing the frat thing deep into the night (you heard right - two shoes in one night!). And if you still can't catch us, feel free to attend the annual SAM pre-Foxfield party on Friday night, with music provided by yours truly.

I've got to tell you, it's an exciting time for Sweetbriar. This month has been the busiest we've ever been, with no less than a dozen shows. Add the two new songs to the mix, along with the fact that we've got three or four more in the mix, and it's shaping up to be a pretty productive effort when we finally make the plunge and record a full-length debut. Keep an ear out for updates - we'll be sure to make our progress known.

Stay beautiful, keep dancing, and (why not?) have a beer or two.
See you at Satellite, Pi Kapp, or SAMMY.
