Here's an update for Ya"ll

 Last week we rocked the Mount Snow Reggae Festival with the Easy Star All-stars. It was a great night with good vibes all around. Working with Easy Star is always a pleasure. iLa Mawana, and Dub is a Weapon also played at other venues during this event. Great bands that I was not able to catch due to the timing of these events.
 After we were done with our set a friend and fan who had traveled all the way from Syracuse said to me, "Hey, what's up with the blog? People actually read it you know." Ah, I always wondered about that. Being a very busy caveman I do not read blogs or keep up with Facebook...
 For many years I have been booking this band. Not an easy job. I am better at writing songs, singing, and other various art forms, promotion and business not so much. Thank Jah, Nectar's presents (a new booking and promotion branch of the famous music venue) has taken over most of the booking and promotion work. Thanks Alex, and everyone else on the staff! During this changeover there has been a little lull in our gigging schedule. That always happens when the booking situation changes. Things will be picking up towards the end of April.
 Our focus will be more on out of state venues and festivals this summer, but don't worry VT fans we will still make time to play at home.
 A new website has been in the works for a while. Hopefully we will have it up soon.
 We killed the van last summer driving it back from a Reggae festival in Connecticut with no oil, so a new Van will be one of our goals for this summer.
 Other than that, we've been working on new tunes and finishing up two new cds at the Tank in Burlington VT. Recording at the Tank has been great! They have a really nice blend of modern technology and old school analogue gear. Engineers Ben and Rob really know how to work it to get the best of both worlds. They are also mixing on our Live at Nectar's Recording that was recorded by Caleb Bronz at a performance at there a few months ago. Looking forward to getting these disks out to Y'all
 Looking at the blog I see our Hawaii tour from a few years back is still up. I tried to remove it, but no luck. Hmm, told you I am a caveman. He He.
 Keep the Peace!
