Eclipse Weekend Travels

We had a grand time traveling across Kansas and into Nebraska this past weekend for several 2017 Eclipse Celebrations.

First, we traveled to Concordia, KS for a performance Friday night at the Brown Grand Theatre--after moving Abigail into the dormitory at Pittsburg State University. 

What a day! 

This historic theatre is amazing and everyone in Concordia and the surrounding area should be so thankful to have it in their community. 

Wow--just beautiful! We were very honored to have been hosted here for a performance.

Saturday morning we drove to Logan, KS for performances at the Hansen Arts and Crafts Fair. 

These folks had some great crafts and what a wonderful arts display at the museum -- Ultra Realistic Sculptures by Marc Sijan. 

If you have a chance to visit this display, please make the effort to do so. It is well worth the time.

Afterward, we drove up to Grand Island, Nebraska for a concert Saturday night at the Chocolate Bar. Yummy food and drinks here! 

Oh, and btw, this was also where we celebrated Abigail's 21st Birthday! Happy Birthday, Abbey! 

Sunday we hung out most of the day and then traveled to Hastings, NE late that afternoon for our final eclipse performance 

at The Lark Listening Room, where we opened for Nora Jane Struthers and the Party Line. We had such a blast at this venue and hope to return again. 

Thanks everyone, for joining us on this trip north. Your friendship and support mean so much to us. 

Colorado Music Tour 2017

We had such fun this past month on our second Colorado Music Tour.

We made our usual stop in Burglington, CO at a sweet little park to have lunch and stretch our legs.

Our first night, we performed at the Front Range BBQ in Colorado Springs.

Their food was delicious!

Sunday we traveled to Alamosa for our Sundays at Six performance. 

We made it through our soundcheck, but then the rain clouds gathered.... 

Before we'd finished our first song, it began pouring and even hailed and our performance was cancelled.

Didn't even get any pictures at this place because of the rain...so here's a shot of us with our Grandma and Grandpa, who toured with us this summer in their RV!

The next day we journeyed on to Creede for a return performance at Kip's Grill.

They have awesome fish tacos!

The next few days were spent enjoying the San Juan Mountains near Silverton.

We hiked, shopped, and enjoyed the beauty of the mountains and the very COOL temperatures of 40-70 degrees.

We even saw a MOOSE for the very first time--right at the entrance to our campground.

Saturday night we performed at the Wright Opera House in Ouray--the highlight of our tour!

Thanks to everyone at the Wright (and the Ouray Victorian Inn) for all your hospitality and generosity. We had a wonderful time.

For our final night, we returned to Manitou Springs for a performance at Kinfolks.

Thanks, Colorado, for another great music tour!

We are honored and touched by your enthusiasm and support of our music.

Our First Performance at Knuckleheads

Earlier this month we performed for the first time at Knuckleheads at the Gospel Lounge in Kansas City, MO. It was a lot of fun! 

Thanks to everyone who came to hear our music. We really appreciate your friendship and support! 
Hopefully, we'll schedule a return visit there soon! Listen to our performance in the video below!

Taking Our Music to Nebraska

This past weekend, we took our music to Nebraska for the first time.

We had a LAFTA (Lincoln Association for Traditional Arts) performance in Lincoln on Saturday night. 
See more below, including Abbey's interview with the Lincoln Journal Star and a video from our Omaha performance.

Neodesha Arts Center

We are blessed in SE Kansas to have the Neodesha Arts Center--such a sweet little auditorium that offers free concerts for the community and its surrounding area.

Here with a dear little fan from Chanute.

Thanks for inviting us back for another performance. It's always a pleasure!

Next Performance ~ Neodesha Arts Center

We're excited to return to the Neodesha Arts Center this Saturday for another local performance. Make plans to attend this delightful little venue for an intimate night of acoustic Americana - Folk - Singer-Songwriter music. Free admission. Hope to see you there! 

Winter Performances

This past winter we've had to cancel performances due to flu bugs and icy weather.

Despite that, we've managed to get in shows in Iola, Wichita, Topeka, and Overland Park.
