Boston Reschedule, Cool Letter
Thursday, April 24, 2008

Friends, as you know we had to cancel our Boston show on 4.26. Really bummed me out.

Our friend Mike, who has played our tunes on his awesome podshow UC Radio Podshow , forwarded me this letter he got from a friend of his who saw us in New York recently. Pretty cool.

Mike,

It's been awhile . Just wanted to give to a heads up on some random UC Radio band related stuff happening recently:

I went to check out the New Heathens again a few weeks ago with my buddy Pat. They played at Rodeo Bar on the upper east side and just like the last time, they rocked!!! We sat on the side with a glass of Bookers and a beer chaser each and they got the crowd going! This place was perfect for the band. With sawdust on the floor and wood paneling on the walls, listening to "For Cryin' Out Loud" and "July First" seemed to fit perfectly. As my buddy pointed out, he had the swagger of the early days of Mick Jagger while the music was definitely a throwback to rock/blues with a hint of country. We talked to Nate and he mentioned to say hi to you.

Arlene's, Newville, Shayni Rae's Truck Stop, Shine A Light
Tuesday, April 8, 2008

The New Heathens played another fun night at Arlene's Grocery with the Apple Brothers and Tom Clark and the High Action Boys . A pretty damn good time!

And look at the sweet picture we took after the gig.



I had a blast playing Newville on Thursday. Played a couple of my own tunes then really had fun singing backup for Keith Christopher along with Brooke Lunde and Emory Joseph.

On Monday I played in what's turning into a very cool roots rock hang at the National Underground on Houston Street. It's called Shayni Rae's Truck Stop and most weeks it features Kevin Kinney , as well as a good lookin' bunch of soulful young'uns from Ohio called the Madison Square Gardeners.

I was pretty psyched to play. A couple weeks ago I saw Patterson Hood and Shonna Tucker from the Drive By Truckers hanging out there. Laura Cantrell too. I hear Justin Townes Earle is going to play next week...

Rounded up a posse of friends on Saturday and went and saw the new Rolling Stones movie "Shine A Light" at the IMAX theatre. OH BABY THIS MOVIE ROCKS! OW! OH YEAH! GET DOWN NOW, UGH!



Best of all, after the movie Emory suggested we go and rock out a little bit ourselves. So he, Keith, Brandy and I ended up back at the apartment I now share with our cool manager Kori Burkholder and we had a jam y'all.

A JAM Y'ALL!
