The band was fortunate enough to play a benefit for the Uganda Rural Fund at the Bulldog this past 28th of Feb, as many of you know, since you were there! The benefit ended up raising $3400 – way to go everybody! We are proud to be a part of such a selfless and generous community. Thank you so much!

Coming up this weekend, on Sunday the 15th, is the Butcher & The Boar’s 3rd Anniversary Bash. LWATCH is serving up their brand of aural deliciousness at 2pm, followed by the Jason Paulson Band and the Todd Douglas band. Come fill up your mugs with delectable meats, and your ears with eargasmic melodies as we celebrate three years of fine dinin’! Doors are at 1pm.

On April 16th we are taking the tour bus down to New Prague to participate in the “Booked” concert series at the New Prague Library. We’re playing from 7-8pm. Stop on down and check us out; no late fees, we promise!

Later on, in April on the 25th we are celebrating the return of spring at Harriet Brewing’s Sol Bock Revival Festival. Kind Country and No Man’s String Band are going to be around as well. There will be food trucks, beer, and music. Doesn’t that sound real nice? Hope to see you there!

We are also knockin’ around working on something real special at Neon Brown Studios in Crystal, MN. More info to come, so keep your ears to the ground…

Can’t wait to see you at your next LWATCH event!
