First Week Highlights: The Double Door and Bristol

Posted September 21, 2009

We’ve had a (typically) eventful first week on the road. Our best reception was at the Double Door Inn in Charlotte, where we were greeted by an intimidatingly knowledgable crowd, jam packed and shouting requests for deep cuts and obscure covers. We spent the weekend straddling the Virginia/Tennessee border at the beautiful Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion. We played a rowdy show on Saturday afternoon, and then spent a long night prowling State Street trying to take in as many of the other great bands as we could get our ears on. Sunday at noon we dragged ourselves to the Theatre Bristol for wonderfully intimate set surrounded by an attentive and disarmingly sober audience, and flanked by a pair of pink minarets left over from a community theatre act the week before. If that ain’t rock and roll, I don’t know what is. Check out some samples below and check out the tour dates because we’ve got a couple new ones for October and November.
