March 1, 2011 - St. Patty\'s Music Event! Grand Reopening!
Did you know that Puck has been closed for two months? ME NEITHER! I thought they were just keeping the lights low to save energy. Well, I was half right. Turns out they've been renovating and adding solar panels to the roof! How about that! What's even better is that they was us to play their grand reopening on March 17th - St. Patty's Day. This is a FREE show. I hope to see you there. Mike Phieffer opens at 8pm.

February 28, 2011 - NEW PHOTOS by Andrew Reiter
So I finally updated my photographs - not that I really look any different. But it was time to freshen things up a bit. And BOY did I hit the jackpot by getting to work with Doylestown's own Andrew Reiter ( www.ajrphoto.com). He did an amazing job...I'm so thoroughly pleased with the results. Check out more pics on my facebook page. Thank you, Andrew!

December 13, 2010 - GIG!!! OUR FIRST AT TRIUMPH BREWERY THIS FRIDAY, DECEMBER 17th!
Hello my peeps! As much as I love the holidays, it can get too stressful. I hear a ticking clock in my head reminding me I'm in deep S#*@ for not starting my Christmas shopping yet. UGH. What I am doing instead is working hard with the Punch Drunk Boys to prep for our GIG at TRIUMPH BREW PUB in New Hope, PA. We go on just before 10pm and rock till midnight. I promise you will NOT hear a Christmas song (the guys wouldn't let me  ). This is our first gig at Triumph and we want to impress the good folks there, so please come show your support! Can't wait to see you all!! Five bucks (that's NOTHING!)

March 29, 2010 - Inspiration
So I wrote a new song today. Start to Finish in about an hour and a half. When it goes like that, it's usually a good one, but I'm biased. If you come to my next gig on April 16th at PUCK - you'll get to hear it. Not sure on the title yet though. It'll either be "Listen Up", "My Emancipation", "House of Cards" or "The Lesson". Stay tuned.

February 5, 2009 - Music Video
Hey everyone, I need your help. The guys and I want to film a music video - not just us playing on stage - but a real video with an actual storyline. The thing is, we can't decide on which song off of the She Knows album to do. So I'd love to hear your input...which tune do you think should become our first music video? There may be a "bit part" in it for you! Thanks in advance!
