Mountain Stage and the Truckers (plus Richmond tracks)

Posted February 20, 2010

We’ve been fairly busy recently, but in case you’ve missed us, don’t worry: there’s more to come in the next couple weeks. We’ll get right to it. Tomorrow night we’ll be heading over to Charleston, WV for a taping of the NPR show Mountain Stage. It’s a great show and a real honor for us, especially since we’ll be sharing the stage with a pile of talent including Lucero, Sam Bush, The Bottle Rockets and Bud Carroll & The Southern Souls. The show will be recorded live, but won’t air on your NPR stations until the week of April 23rd. Check the Mountain Stage broadcast schedule for updates (and to know what other awesome programs you can tune in for).

We also joined Drive-By Truckers for the first time last week and we’ll be playing with them again next weekend in Charlotte, NC. If you live in the area, make your way down to the Neighborhood Theatre on Thursday February 25th for a full serving of rock in your face. If you miss that one (and you don’t already have tickets to see George Clinton and the P-Funk Allstars at the Neighborhood on Saturday night) we’ll be moving to Asheville, NC on Friday Feb 26th and down to Birmingham on Saturday Feb 27th to join the Randy Rogers Band for our first ever show in Alabama. There are plenty other dates on the calendar for early March too so if none of those shows bring us close enough to you, be sure to check the Tour Dates. We’re coming.

Speaking of places we’ve been recently, we spent the last few weeks hitting some favorite spots in our home state, including a full house at the Jewish Mother in Virginia Beach and a rowdy crowd down by the James River at the Canal Club in old Richmond, Va. We’ve been working on our mobile recording rig and managed to catch a few tracks from the Richmond show to share with you. Some vintage SoB – the second and third track off our debut album A Far Cry From Freedom – sounded especially good to us, so we hope you enjoy them too. And don’t forget, the Sons of Bill YouTube Channel is still chock full of new videos to tide you over till the next time you get to join us in person. Check ‘em all out and be sure to rate and review them to your little heart’s content. Keep an eye out for us, ’cause we’ve got a busy Spring ahead and it’s just around the corner.
