We hope that the fall has been treating you all well! To prepare for Thanksgiving and to show how grateful we are for all of your support, we've decided to give you some new, free goodies to get everyone in the right spirits!

First off, we've upload two live tracks from our August radio show on WMSE to our Reverbnation page. On the Tuesday of Irish Fest week, we went into the studio and recorded for the Local Live show and were joined by our good friend Paul Marshall of Different Drums of Ireland. Here are two cuts from our set, the slides "Where's the Cat/ Eileen O' Riordan's/ Kings of Kerry" and a Breton andro into two reels, "The Wren/ Anything for John Joe/ Devil's Dream" (featuring Paul Marshall on djembe!). Click on the link below to listen to them or visit our Reverbnation page!

As we mentioned last month, we had a photo shoot with Deone Jahnke on October 1st. We have three of our new promo pics online on our Myspace and Reverbnation pages.
