June 2010 Update
I know I haven't updated the news section in a while. My apologies. Just nothing earth shattering going on. We started working on our next release. We've got half the songs done and they've been laid down in the studio. Just need to finish it up. The way things are now, we're kinda wondering if it's worth getting a "CD" done. I know a lot folks are selling Flash cards with the album on it. What do y'all think? Hope to see ya at a show soon!

Truckin' Back to Winston!!! - CASH BASH 7
 Buy Your Tickets | That's right! We're hauling our load back to Winston Salem to join our fellow honky tonk pals the Bo Stevens. We played our first Cash Bash with the guys back in 2003. It's was a cold night in a club with no heat, no alcohol permits, and a limited supply of draft beer. Good thing we brought a little something with us to keep warm : ). The boys (and now including one talented lady) have really pulled the show together in the past years! It's guaranteed to be the best Honky Tonk show in Winston Salem for year. There will be several really great bands starting around 8pm at The Garage. We can't wait to hear John Howie and his newly formed band Rosewood Bluff. Hope ya'll can make it out! |

Hope everybody is getting over their holiday hangovers and ready to get back out. We've been regrouping since the holidays and starting to line up some shows for this year. 
Be sure to come out this Friday, January 11th to Amos' South End for the Beards BeCause Finale Party. We're honored to be asked to help out with this event. Beards BeCause is a fundraising event that involves a group of volunteer men growing beards for two months to raise funds and awareness for the Battered Women's Shelter of Charlotte, North Carolina. Each participant will be responsible growing a beard, raising donations, and awareness for the cause. Along with us, there'll be The Belmont Playboys, The Loose Lugnuts and GCDC. There'll be Drink Specials, Silent Auctions, Beard Contest Judging by the Charlotte Roller Girls, and Creative Beard Trimming by Bang Bang Salon! Sure to be a big crowd. Check the website to see the progress on the beards!
We've recently added our Self Titled album to the new online digital world. It's now available at iTunes, Rhapsody, eMusic, Napster, music.com, and GroupieTunes Mobile Ringtones. We've got links on our Music page to the iTunes link for easy access. If you have a minute, please review the album on iTunes. If you haven't checked in a while, we've added a few photos to the site. 
The Red Shoes for Rock 'N' Roll show was a big success! We were able to raise a total of $6,600 from the event! We really appreciate everybody coming out and helping with the event. We hope to make this an annual event and if you would like to get involved, visit the website and add your email to the contact list.

Danny Guyton
Just wanted to let ya'll know that our dear friend Danny Guyton passed away July 18th from kidney failure. Danny was an honorary Truckstop Preacher who played banjo with us from time to time. He also played banjo and "pedal steel" on a few of the tracks of our latest CD. He was also a major help in the production of the album. Danny started playing music with his Dad's bluegrass band as a kid. Lee and Danny then formed their heavy metal band, New York. He could shred a guitar just as well as he could a banjo or mandolin! He taught guitar, mandolin, and banjo at Woody's Music for over 10 years. He was a huge musical influence on all of us. I hope ya'll had the pleasure of meeting him and/or hearing him. We'll miss him. The memorial service will be this Saturday at 11am at Greene Funeral Home. CASUAL dress is REQUIRED. Danny specifically asked that no one dress up. Danny's trademark was his Red Chuck Taylor Converse shoes and his red beret. If you have either, please wear them to the service. A lot of us will be wearing red converse in his honor. He wanted a celebration where friends could share music stories, so bring a few if you have 'em. We'll be getting together a concert in his honor within the next month or so. We'll be raising money for hospice, the kidney foundation a very possibly a fund for musicians without insurance. We'll keep you posted. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Danny Guyton Fund, PO Box 904, Rock Hill, SC 29731 or through Woody's Music. Woody's Music
