Hello everyone! There will be no Watkins Family Hours in October. We will return to our weekly fun on Nov 6th in the theater with very special guests and a revamped show. Hope to see you then! More details soon. THe last couple weeks have been full of friends and playing. Last sunday Benmont had one of his famous sunday afternoon BBQ Pool Jams. Nobody hit the pool this time but we made up for it with lots of food and even more playing. A jam 6 hour session with Gabe Witcher Gillian Welch, Dave Rawlings, Mike Campbell, Sabastian Steinberg and Benmont is something that doesn't suck. Then After that one broke up and we were all heading home, Jon Brion showed up and Gabe, Sabastian and i ended up playing another couple hours with him. After our Watkins Family Hour show thursday, we all played a few hours up stars at the new largo. And then the next night, we all played on Jon Brion's second set, with the lovely addition of esteemed NC band mate, Chris, who was in town for some shows with Edgar Meyer. And of course, that turned into a few more hours of upstairs after hours jamming. Heart warming and huge amounts of fun. Life is good. Fiction Family stuff is starting to come together. We're starting to think about and plan our tour, which will be early next year. Stay tuned for more details soon. Happy Fall! -sean
