We are proud to announce the release of our first full-length studio record, "Raised in a Lion's Den."
We recorded the disc over several sessions in the fall at Tom White's Wizmak Studio in Middleburgh, N.Y. The 18 tracks on the disc offer a sampling of old-timey blues, ballads and tunes from our live repertoire.
Copies are available directly from us at performances, and they are available online through CDBaby.com, iTunes and other sites.

What a hoot we had last night opening for Roy Book Binder in the Adirondack town of Hope! Roy put on a terrific show with his signature mix of dynamite guitar-picking and droll storytelling. We had a great time warming up the crowd with some of our old-timey tunes. If you ever get a chance to see Roy perform as he travels around the country, don't pass it up!
