Thanks to all who came out to support us at the Orange Peel on March 1. We were very pleased with our performance, as we did a few oldies as well as our new song ("Your Man" - written by Karl and arranged by Kevin, Tommy, and Jeff) and a powerful version of "Guilt," which will be on the new Ali Baba's Tahini record. Kevin played the show with a 100 degree fever! Luckily, some fans made audience recordings and the venue made a soundboard recording, so we will be releasing this show in some format online in the coming weeks.

Tommy sat in with Umphrey's that night for a spirited jam. You can see parts of it on YouTube by copying and pasting this link into your browser:

We are saddened to announce that we must cancel our St. Patrick's Day show at O'Malley's on March 16 due to a scheduling conflict. We apologize for the inconvenience as we were really looking forward to this concert. I'm sure we'll be back there in the future.

All eyes are now on our four hour, three-set headlining show at the Five Spot in downtown Atlanta - my hometown - on Thursday, March 22 at 9 PM sharp. We've heard nothing but great things about this venue, and we need your support to make sure Mother Vinegar continues to return to Atlanta! We drew 150 people to Smith's Olde Bar last August on a Wednesday, so we're looking to pack the place on a Thursday in Little Five Points.....especially on the first day of spring! Tickets are only $7 and we will be plaing until 1 AM.

We're also happy to announce that Mother Vinegar will headline the 4/20 Celebration at the Broad Street Cafe in Durham, NC, on April 20, with a host of other great local and national acts. MV plays during prime time at 11:30 PM for an entire hour. Tickets are $7. More details to be announced.

However, the focus is now shifting on recording. There is a severe lack of live and studio Mother Vinegar material available. From March 23 to April 19, we will be converting our rehearsal studio into a recording studio as we begin to assemble a series of podcasts to be available online. This will also be a test of the waters, as we are beginning to have serious talks about planning the long-awaited second album from Mother Vinegar. This will be a completely different experience from our 2005 debut, as we hopefully plan on making it a true homegrown project with total control by the band. There are also plans for a possible live album later in the summer. We will be scaling back on live concerts in the coming months as we begin to focus on recording. Please be patient, and stay tuned for further updates.

Take care everyone

Karl, Kevin, Jeff, and Tommy
