You heard me! We’ve been hard at work down at Fuzzy Rainbow Production and we’ll be unleashing a new single into the mad world on May 25th, which happens to line up with both my 32nd birthday and the stellar Whalie Awards weekend- so we’re making a party of the thing! We’ll be rocking out at the Oasis Pub! See you there!
There’s a fantastic new coffeeshop in New Haven called Green Well on Crown Street, right around the corner from Cafe Nine, one of our favorite neighborhoods to play! They have organic and fairly traded loose leaf tea, coffee, trail mixes and a variety of other healthy food options as well as being a venue for art openings and musical performances. It’s a BYOB room, if you’re so inclined, and this Saturday’s music will be hosted by yours truly, with my special guest Sam Perduta of “stoner-soul” (whoever wrote that should get a medal!) band Elison Jackson. We’ve been singing and recording together, and this should be a lively living room style fun happy hour before you cut loose on the streets of New Haven! Starts at 6pm and there’s no cover! See you there.
 Rockabilly Hall of Famer Art Adams bring his brand of Honky Tonk to Hartford’s hip new Roots Music Hall! Check out the FB Event Page Here!
ART ADAMS: www.artadamsband.com/ Despite the success of these two singles, Adams quit the music business in 1968. Little did he know that during the next 30 years, copies of Rock Crazy Baby would circulate around the world, making him an underground legend. Since his return to live music in 2003, Adams has been going strong. He has released four CDs: Rock Crazy Baby (2003-Collector Records), Rocking My Way Around (2005-Collector Records), Dancing Doll (2006-Flying Saucer Records), The Truth (2009-Smoking Ace Records) as well as a recent 50 year anniversary 45 (2009-Norton Records.) His original recordings have been re-released on numerous compilation records including the 2006 Rhino records box set “Rockin’ Bones: 1950s Punk and Rockabilly.” As one of the few original rockabilly artists still playing today, Adams has become an in-demand performer in today’s new rockabilly scene. He has played at clubs and rockabilly festivals around the world including: Las Vegas, Toronto, Montreal, Quebec, Sweden, Spain, France, England, Green Bay, Chicago, Pittsburgh…etc. The Art Adams Band has a reputation for being a must see live act featuring: drum wizard Greg Cole, upright spin bass master Mike Strauss, guitar guru Tim Gibson along with the original wild man Art Adams.

This will be a great show, with a fantastic band from New Haven, The Proud Flesh! If you haven’t heard them, they affectionately refer to themselves at ‘Hipster-cana’, and their live show is bad ass! Super high energy and fun! And we’re having special guests for our set too, including Eric Stevenson (Pocket Vinyl) on keys & Jaime Duquette on bass. 
The beer is cheap, the sound is good, and the bands are all fired up! See you next Friday!
This Saturday! With The Suicide Dolls, The Hempsteadys, The Can Kickers, The ‘Mericans, Recur Occurrence, & Herff Jones! Event page with details is here: Rock Fix!
This Tuesday we’ll be Honky Tonkin’ at the Outer Space in Hamden. This is by far one of our favorite rooms to play, the beer is great, the staff is amazing, and the sound can’t be beat! As if that weren’t enough, we have the great pleasure of being joined on piano by Pocket Vinyl’s Eric Stevenson and on bass by Corina Malbaurn. Here’s the FB event invite for more info, we’ll see you there!
We’ll be celebrating with a special show at Gallery 263 in Cambridge! This will be our first Boston show since the album came out, so we hope to see y’all up that way! More details at the Facebook event page.
