Mid-summer Newsletter
Ahoy Ladies and Gents -
Summer is almost behind us here, and with that comes new, exciting opportunities for LWATCH. Perhaps most exciting is we were honored with an invitation to play one of Minnesota’s best festivals, Boats and Bluegrass 2014! This is big news for us, and we hope you all can join in on the fun, too. Boats and Bluegrass goes down September 25th through the 28th. What we know is we will be playing on Saturday the 27th, sometime before 1pm – so it will be an early one. We hope you can make it.
Additionally, mark your calendars for Friday, November 21st, when we’ll be back at Harriet Brewing, sharing the stage again with Good Diction. Remember the last time we played with them? This band is amazing and their diction is spot on. It should be big fun.
We are currently in cahoots with Minneapolis’ newest brewery, Bauhaus Brew Labs. We’re trying to lock down a date that works for everyone, but we’re hoping to get something figured out in the next month. Stay tuned for more information.
Finally, there’s a lot of talk in the LWATCH world about putting together our second album. We’re hoping to get into studio sometime in the fall or early winter. We have quite a bit of new material we have been working on, and we’re excited to lay it down studio style.
Hope to see you at Boats and Bluegrass, but if not there, keep your eyes and ears open for our Bauhaus event.
Thanks mucho!
