Hello friends!
I am very excited to share our updated tour schedule with you. We have received an amazing response from our fans over the past week or so, and we've managed to fill the majority of our open dates with awesome house party shows! This is looking like it's going to be a very successful fundraiser for the Harry Potter Alliance and we appreciate your support and enthusiasm.
Before you check out the schedule, I wanted to mention a couple things.
First, I've officially re-released Welcome to the House of Awesome in a new "DIY" edition. It's on sale now for just $10 in the newly revamped
Whomping Willows store.
In honor of this only mildly noteworthy event (ha), I've introduced a few awesome package deals for people who may want to buy multiple Whomping Willows CDs. These packages include the DUO FOR YOU-O deal (Demons at the Helm and III for $22), the THREE FULL-LENGTHS deal (Demons, III, and House of Awesome for $30) and the WHOLE LOTTA WHOMPY deal (Demons, III, House of Awesome, and Treestylin' for $36). In addition, I've reduced the price of Treestylin' to just $7 (and I should mention that Treestylin' is very close to being sold out!). All of these prices include shipping!
Also, you may have heard that I'm retiring several old t-shirt designs in the next few weeks. Want to get one before they're no longer available?

Here's the current tour schedule!
Just a side note: Most of the "TBA" dates are very close to being booked. We are still looking for potential house party hosts in Little Rock AR, Pocatello ID, Laramie WY, and southern Michigan!
Another side note: Check out the awesome list of bands we'll be playing with: Harry and the Potters, Swish and Flick, Nagini, Split Seven Ways, The Blibbering Humdingers, Gred and Forge, Fred Lives, The Mudbloods, The Remus Lupins, Tonks and the Aurors, I Speak Tree, and Madame Pince and the Librarians!
Another side note: Check out what we have planned for October 27. Seriously, if you live within a day's driving distance, you need to be there.
