Sounds Like
"... if Neil Young fronted Pink Floyd while covering Bowie's 'Space Oddity'."
"Beautiful, haunting, introspective music influenced by Leonard Cohen, Nick Drake, Bob Dylan, Pink Floyd, ..." - Aboutface Media - Brightcove.tv
"It's as if the band took pieces of folk, alternative, bluegrass and
rock; melding a sound both indescribably unusual and assuredly
familiar. The album plays a familiarity impossible to place but the
complexity of each song is alluringly addictive."
- Maureen Post - OnMilwaukee.com

Hey Jackson!! Nice blog review on psychedelicmusicblog!!...looking forward to getting my bootleg copy of The Night from Ryan or Jerry:) The band sounds great..play in California please.. Peace, Gina
Sometimes I love playing shows, sometimes I really don't like it so much. Also, living in the dorms makes being mobile quite difficult, so it's often hard for me to get to the places I'm asked to play shows. I coulldddddd take the bus, but cold weather makes me stay clear of such things.
Either way, you seem to have plenty! I'll have to try and make my way to one of them eventually.
A great reason to get out of dodge. At first we thought this might be an advert for your FL shows and we were going to say our spaceships are out of commission for the month of January (inter-planetary registration regulation dictates the ships return to the Xeta-Reticula star system for a three week inspection followed by a series of test flights).
Hope things are well at the start of this New Year.
