The awesome people at Hannah’s Haus in Beaufort, NC made this toy truck to help us collect donations for our van fundraiser. Thanks again guys.
0 10 Donors
Good God! Yes folks, we have reached 10 donors for the “Fix Our House (Van)” mission. Thanks to Mr. Tony Bush in Lilburn, GA., we are closer to getting behind the wheel of a new touring van, but we still have a long way to go.
To learn more about this mission and what you can do to help, please follow the link above.
We can’t express how thankful we are for everyone who has helped so far in this mission for a new van and in the life of our band. So much is in store for us. Until we see yall, keep your eyes and ears open.

The Dirty Bourbon River Show needs a new van

A Call To Action
You’ve all seen that rickity rockity tin can of a van we roll through your city in. The thing’s barely staying on its axles, it has no insolation or interior, no heat or a/c, holes in the bottom that leak water inside, a constant cacophony of strange noises and moans, no real guarantee that we’ll get to point B, not to mention a whole host of other problems… Yup, it’s time to get a new (or slightly less used) van.
But unfortunately vans are very expensive – it’s going to take at least $40,000 to purchase and outfit the kind of vehicle we need for our heavy 250+ days-a-year touring schedule. And that’s money we just don’t have! We are going to raise half of it ourselves through gigging and private parties (though $20,000 if A LOT and we’ll probably have to take out a bank loan) and we’re hoping to raise the other $20,000 from you, the listener, the lover, the supporter of live homemade 100% grassroots music….
Those of you who have recently downloaded our Old-Timey AfroPop Jibberish Junction or Free Love albums know that we don’t mind giving things away for free – and now we’d like to ask for just a little back. We need this van to stay alive, stay safe, and get to you – your town, wherever that may be. Please help us do that – the arts don’t pay us much (sometimes we literally skip meals), but we are heavily invested in heart – for the music, and for you. Do your part – help musician’s livelihoods – do something cool ladies and gentlemen… now is your chance.

0 As November Draws To A Close…
Hello folks! Hope everyone stuffed their faces yesterday – I know we all did. Now that Thanksgiving’s past I figured we’d give you a little update for how we’ll be finishing off the year…
Throughout the rest of November we’ll be finishing overdubbing Volume Three at the Music Shed here in New Orleans. Then, come December, while Vol. III’s shipped off for mixing and mastering, we’ll be hitting the road once again for a few little short trips here and there, East and West… Six new showdates just posted + more to come! —–>
Oh, and this Sunday we’ll be making a big little announcement with a whole host of prizes available for those who participate.
Need a hint?
Has a little something to do with this:
