You guys really need to do a cross-country tour. Seeing a few live BLC shows could possibly tide me over until there's a new album. Think about it. :o)
thank you,fellas! We love your music, and cant wait to hear more. Brookes' vocals are true and authentic, and paul plays a mean violin. Waiting to attend a local show...emily
