Coyote Grace hearts Colorado. And all the strange and beautiful miles in between. Driving those Rockies is one of my favorite drives. We had a rockin time, we plow through endless mountains, slat flats, and earth guts, play a show is Fort Collins, then the lady flies out to Ohio for her 10 year high school reunion (thank dog we dont breed!) leaving Joe all by his lonesome for the weekend...! Many a mile, many a view, many a rusty metal thing photographed. Ing returns, and we head off to Song School and the Rocky Mountain Folks Fest. And let me tell you what.... No, Melissa Ferrick didnt ask us to tour with her again, but we met so many awesome folks, reconnected with so many awesome folks, played mad music till all hours of the morning. With me on banjo and Ing on bass, we sandwiched many an awesome songwriter and were able to throw down and shine in different ways. Not that we didnt do our share of swapping our own tunes (summertime furrowed a few confused brows, hehe!) in circles and elsewhere. We had a beautiful camping spot by the river, with our homie Amber Darland out of Bellingham WA, you may have caught her opening for us. It was overall wonderful community, wonderful music, and although we were hustling the business cards and working hard, it felt like vacation. Funny that we do the same thing on vacation that we do for work.. but it makes sense to me. The Folks Fest was equally cool, even though our song saturation point was reaching critical.

Back to Cali for another too short break, and in less than a week we will head north with show on the way up, and then east to hit our favorite Midwestern spots and the East Coast as well. In just a short five weeks we will be home... Other highlights - we bought a tiny video camera thing, and as soon as we figure out how to use it, we will be posting all sorts of hilarious road adventures, so stay tuned on the youtube. Also, we have now reached gay stardom... our kickass music video to "A Guy Named Joe" produced by Josh Klipp is up on the LOGO Click List!!!! Go vote for us so we can get the video up on the LOGO channel! We barely get to watch TV, but we would if we were on it!

I hope this finds everyone well, I hope everyone is getting in all their veggie burger flipping for the summer, still keeping the tan, swimming in the pool. Check out our new tour schedule, I bet we'll be coming to you soon!
