What's the 'Nouche been up to? I can't believe I haven't blogged at you since the Adirondack adventure. Let's see... some highlights since then include:

- Several beautiful outdoors events: A dreamy summer afternoon at Gorham Music Fest in Maine. A show on the huge green in front of Everyman Bistro in Providence -- funds were raised for a group that connects people with disabilities and the arts. The Big E Expo and the Lowell Arts Fest, both in Mass, were also great times.

- We played outdoors in North Carolina at a series called The Rooster's Wife. We all enjoyed splendid hospitality as well as the sweet sounds of opener Bruce Piephoff's group. We even got to sneak in a quick visit with our friends in VA, the Gypsy Roots, on the way down.

- We stopped on the way to play at the tiny Charlesworth Hotel in the heart of South Jersey. There is a tune on our first album that honors the lighthouse here on the Delaware Bay. We were here in August this year, with lots of friends, lots of family, and huge windows that presented us with the sun setting over the Bay all evening long.

- We'd barely unpacked from one journey when suddenly it was September and we were back in NYC! The Gypsy Tabor Festival included a staged shaped like a caravan wagon. Within a few weeks, we were in NYC once again for the Brooklyn Djangology Fest. This was our second year and the vibe was strong.

- Last weekend we had a nice night in Freeport, Maine, at The Venue. There was dancing, there were smiles...nice stage, nice people.

- The following night was probably one of our best shows of the year. We followed moose tracks up to East Sangerville, Maine. The whole room was full of enthusiasm, energy, and don't forget the fancy homemade desserts. I can picture the moose gathering outside and dancing some moosedances... Maybe not, but it was a really special night -- once again we were blessed to have some family and long-time friends in the audience. The double-encore was a nice touch, too. We all left feeling quite rejuvenated, and with people pressing packages full of leftover pie into our sleepy hands.

- What a year it has been, so far....! And now that we're involved with Charisma Artist Agency, it's like....has this all just been a warm up?!

We are so stoked for the future and so thankful for the past. New tour dates will pour in shortly. Will we see you soon? We hope so.
