Hey Friends,

Steve and I have had a great time in June getting around to music festivals in California and enjoying the new friends we've made there.  The Live Oak and Strawberry Music festivals were such fun and I recommend them both to you if you haven't been.  A wonderful family feeling invests both of these events and it's so great to experience live music outdoors in California's golden spring!  We've seen some wonderful artists ~ so inspiring!

As I write, we're excitedly preparing for our July tour to the wilds of Northern California mid-month.  We also have a couple of shows here in So-Cal in July, both return trips to great venues we know and love.  On the 10th we're back at the Fret House in Covina, California, then on the 12th we embark on our travels.  The crown-jewel of the tour is our show at the Freight & Salvage in Berkeley on July 15th in their beautiful new location.  We hope to be filming that show, so if you're in the area or you have friends who are, please come see us and land in our DVD!

That weekend we'll be driving up to the Scott Valley Bluegrass Festival in beautiful Etna, California near the Klamath National Forest, and then at the end of the month we return to old stomping grounds at the Coffee Gallery Backstage in Pasadena with our good friend Ernest Troost opening the show for us.  If you don't know Ernest, he was the Kerrville New Folk winner last year and is a truly gifted songwriter of new Piedmont blues -inspired songs.  That should be a great show for all of you in the greater LA area. 

We look forward to seeing you all out there on the road!

Happy Summer Trails,

Love,

Susie
