We closed out the festival season with a hard rockin' show at the Dewey Beach Festival in Dewey Beach, Delaware on September 29th. After that, we took a break from the road to work on other projects and take in the Holidays with family. We kept limber by performing a few acoustic shows throughout our home region, a television performance, and wrapped up 2007 with a couple of solid rock shows including one at the legendary SOUTHGATE HOUSE, just outside of Cincinnati in Newport, Kentucky on December 22nd. No doubt, there will be exciting new developments in the new year.
ON A SUN opened for ALICE IN CHAINS on August 31st at The Rave in Milwaukee. This was one of only 4 acoustic shows that AIC performed in the entire country and it was a real honor to be invited by the promoter and the Alice In Chains management!! It was a totally sold out show and an early packed house, so we couldn't have asked for more. We should have some pics from that show we can post in the not-to-distant future, so keep checking back.
Make sure you Check out the great shots from our show with WOLFMOTHER in our 'pics' section.
ON A SUN's new single "TAKIN' OFF" was produced by the one-and-only Johnny K (3 Doors Down, Disturbed, Plain White T's, Finger Eleven). You can buy it digitally online, or if you purchase the disc at a show, you'll get the video for Unraveling as bonus content!!
