THE GREATEST LITTLE MUSIC FESTIVAL EVER!!!
100's of musicians invade a tiny town for four days, playing all the coffee shops and bars, forming groups, writing songs, creating new genres, drinking to excess, tea-totaling, escaping careerist fears, breaking resolutions, starting anew... all in front of an audience of thousands who've come from everywhere to enjoy the beauty of this man-made island and its picturesque mainland shore, and the amazing sounds bounding through every doorway, carried on bay breezes and streaming podcasts out into the waiting, waking world...

The Band works on their follow up album "Offering"
Mike and the band have finished their studio work and now proceed with the mixing process for their follow up to "Tenebrae" called "Offering". The band teamed up with producer Duane Lundy (Tenebrae, Ben Sollee, These United States) last January in beautiful sunny Lexington KY to work on 10 tracks for the new album. The album will feature the bands newest member, Nez, on drums replacing Robby Cosenza and has a special appearance by female vocalist Ruthie Cullen. Release date is yet to be determined...but maybe fall 09...??..??..maybe..
