WOW! Thanks for showing up, what a great show!

Thanks to everyone who showed up last night.  We had over 130 people at the start of our show, and the bar said there were over 200 through the door last night!  And, what did I tell you, aren't we lucky to be joined up with such great musicians!  We had a blast last night, and I hope you did too.  The Ne'er Do Well's warmed the crowd up with ease and The Broken Bicycles finished off the night perfectly.  We'll be posting pictures and video as soon as we can get through the stuff, so stay tuned.  And if you missed last night, we've got another show scheduled at Lee's Liquor Lounge in Minneapolis of Feb 17th with Sweet Mamma J.!  We are celebrating Hannah & Trevor's birthdays that night, and it is 1 month from St. Patrick's day, so we are calling it "St. Practice Day"  so c'mon out!

New Ears Eve! Our last show...for 6 weeks

Hey everyone, please come out to The Dubliner Pub in St. Paul on Tuesday, Jan 4th at 9:30 for our last show for 6 week.  If you haven't heard, Hannah has been diagnosed with a condition called Otosclerosis, It is reversable but has already caused more than a 40dB loss of hearing in her left ear.  She'll be on lifting restrictions (10-15lbs) for 6 weeks so that pretty well excludes accordion and she can't put pressure on her head (like playing the whistle).  So... we'll be taking some time off to arrange some songs and get some rest.  BUT we are celebrating her condition, because it's not permanent and she is getting the proper help!  So come out to The Dubliner for our New Ears Eve party.  Please come out, show your support and wish her well.  We'll be back in actionbefore you know it, and 2011 has some fun things in store for The Langer's Ball, including a new ear for Hannah!  See you on Tuesday!
