Good times, good air; Water trickles softly in the background – we’re in Cary packing up to go to Beaufort tonight – debuting at a joint called Hanna’s Haus – looking like we’ve got a damn good time ahead if us – thank you everybody for making it so…

0 Back On The Road!
Our newest member, Matt Slyfox Thomas, would like to tell you all something about the exciting journey we have coming up:
Ladies and gentlemen, children of all ages! I am proud to announce the launch of the Dirty Bourbon River Show’s return to the roads of the southeast US!
We’ve had time to get down, regroup, revamp the website, write some amazing new tunes -fresh and ready for your hungry ears-, and release a very inexpensive teaser of our next studio recording, the Old-Timey Afropop Jibberish Junction!
This time around, we’ll be bringing the good to the great peoples of North and South Carolina, Alabama, Tennessee, and Virginia, can you dig it? As always, we’ll be bringing the sounds of the mesmerizingly gypsy, the downright dirty, the ass-shakin’ funky, and the head-turning brassy… and, of course, whiskey and fireballs!!!
This is not something to be missed! Tell your friends, tell your neighbors (even the ones you don’t like), tell yo’ mama, and come hang for a spectacular and magnificent evening with the Dirty Bourbon River Show!

0 What We’ve Been Up To Lately
Good times in Jackson, MS last night. But so much has happened since then and when we last talked. Hmm, let’s see… where to begin?
The six of us (Me’n’Charlie’n’Bootsy’n’Jimmy’n’Matt & Clay) arrived homeless back in New Orleans at the end of June from our S/SE tour. Bootsy left for Europe for a month, and the remaining five of us found a nice, cheap, big place in the Marigny to lay low for a while. We now live at 1234 Fake St:
We’ve been getting by, hustlin’, bustlin’ & busking (catch us today in Jackson Square and on Frenchmen late afternoonish, getting a slow start) & playing club gigs when we can pick up a drummer (Dave Shirley from E Company has been a godsend ringer). Catch us at Moe’s BBQ in Daphne, AL this Friday, and at the Blue Nile on Frenchmen Street this Saturday with E Company and the Alex McMurray Band. This show is going to kill…
Also, we’ve picked up a manager – the venerable miss Jaime Coggins. From Holy Ghost Tent Revival (of whom she also manages) to P-funk to Jaco Pastorius to Roberta Fleck, her taste is direct and without falter, and her judgment – keen and sharp like Japanese folded steel. She’ll be handling most of our business end from now on, I’ve updated our contact section should you need to contact her regarding gigs, private parties for the Queen of Atlantis, etc. Here’s a little Leonard Cohen / Dr. Dog mash-up to honor our new union:
Looking forward, we’ve got some big things planned for the rest of the summer. Bootsy gets back from Europe at the beginning of next month, and then the 6 of us will be hitting the road hard (check the sidebar for dates ->) – got another South/Southeast tour (TX, LA, MS, AL, TN, FL, SC, NC, VA) this August, then, come September, we’re headed to Colorado…
Big things in the horizon my friends…
It’s a funny thing, how life moves at such an incredible pace.
Your Friend,
~ Noah Adams
P.S. Our 4th album is fully recorded and currently being mastered by Bhob Rainey (who also did Volume Two, a true gentlemen of sound). Me’n’Charlie just finished hand-drawing the cover art ourselves this weekend. Peep it:
