Our first festival of the year is coming up – July 4th – Freedom at the Arboretum! This year’s theme is democracy and we’re kicking things off with music from noon till 1pm followed by poetry, thoughtful oratory, and a chance to meet some candidates. This event at the Finch Arboretum in Spokane has been happening since 1962!
After a long break we’re excited to be scheduled for the Tumbleweed Festival in Richland, WA on Labor Day weekend – Sunday, 2pm on the West stage.
And back to some new album promotion – we’ll be posting some background stories about how some of the songs were born on our Facebook site.

“Historic preservation at its finest.” - Jeff Echert, The Pacific Northwest Inlander
