speaking of music with mad skillz,
(although my band only plays one note for like half an hour so we
don't count), a pretty great show happening just out of Chapel Hill
this Thursday Night
hosted by the very kind MC Taylor and Abby Martin

Jenks Miller (6:15 PM)
The Curtains of Night (7 PM)
Hiss Golden Messenger (8 PM)
The Hem of His Garment (9 PM)

DJ Ethan Clauset as well (sorry Ethan, I don't know what DJ name you
are using)

starts early. more details below.

:::One and all:::

Thursday, July 31st will mark the 1st Annual Groover's Paradise at
Eaglewing Farm. This happening will feature The Curtains of Night, Hem
of His Garment, Horseback (aka Jenks Miller), and Hiss Golden
Messenger, plus folks playing records, grilling, and reveling in the
mid-summer heat. Groover's Paradise will be going down on our land
(which we rent from the venerable Sparrow Family), and we encourage
everyone to bring their own beer/booze, grillables (and possibly
stoves, if you have portable ones), instruments, and tents. Anyone is
welcome to camp in our yard or the surrounding area; there will be no
tipsy driving. We ask for respectful behavior.

Paradise will open its gates at about 5:00 PM or so; music will start
at 6 PM. Although this is a free show, donations are encouraged. We'll
pass around a collection plate.

The address is 1533 Clearwater Lake Road, Chapel Hill, NC, 27517.

To get here:

Take the 15/501 South towards Pittsboro.
Go left on Mt. Carmel Church Road immediately after crossing the James
Taylor Bridge.
Go roughly two miles, and make a right on Clearwater Lake Road.
Make your first right down the gravel driveway; Eaglewing Farm is the
first house on the left.

Please feel free to send this invite to folks that might be
interested. All are welcome!


Furthermore...

Groover's Paradise will be the first whistle stop on a short tour that
Hiss Golden Messenger is undertaking. The rest of the dates are as

If you would like us to play somewhere for you in between Baltimore
and Philadelphia on the 2nd of August, please reach out to

We will have shirts (based on Bob Welch-era Fleetwood Mac t-shirts,
except of lower quality) and a second pressing of our live performance
in Big Sur from 2007 at fire-sale prices.

Our first full-length record, "Country Hai East Cotton" will be
released quite soon. More information on that, as well as how to
acquire a live disc or shirt (should you not be present at a live
performance) very soon.
