Silver Dollar Ball




The Silver Dollar Ball with American Cancer Society was this past Friday out at the XO Ranch in Aubrey,Tx. We had the honor of performing at the private VIP party before the event. We had a blast getting all countrified up and even our band members dressed to impress...playing in the complimentary cowboy hats. After being told to "turn it down" a couple of times we let the band do what they love to do and just "JAM" by themselves. We had some friends and family come out to enjoy the event with us and had such a blast. Check out some of the pictures from the show below.



Also we are playing at the Sons Of Hermann Hall this Saturday the 10th at 9pm. It's gonna be broadcasted live on FineLineLive.com. So no excuses to miss it!

Our BAND

We officially have a COMPLETE band. We have added a BASS player (John Rinier) from Denton and he has really helped turn our tunes into a well-rounded sound. I think you will all be impressed. Please try and come check out a show. Here are a couple of pics from our practice last night......also below is a list of our current shows.

Official Band Stuff

So...a few of us, Jeff and Amy, decided to head to the tattoo parlor after a show one night to see a man about a tattoo and nose piercing. After some thought about what exactly was wanted Jeff ponied up to the parlor chair to get his "talent" symbol tattoo. Amy repierced her nose in what was like record time for the job. They both came out happy campers and Steve and April cheered them on. April is now the only member of the band without a tattoo.

ABCs on CMT

As most of you know...we went to Nashville in January for the "CAN YOU DUET?" tryout for a show on CMT. While we were there we were interviewed by a reporter with CMT.....thanks to RANDY. We recently found that we made the "cut" of interviews.

Take a look http://www.cmt.com/videos/shows/can-you-duet/215941/can-you-duet-auditions-3-public-domain.jhtml

The show airs on the 14th after the CMT awards on CMT. Make sure you look for us.
