Back after a loooonnnggggg break!
Hey, what's up y'all! We took the last year off as a group. Mike had his third child last summer (congrats, Mike!) and we decided to just lay low for a bit. But we are back at it now and excited about our next show... Mac's Tavern in Cary, NC on Friday, July 16. Should be entertaining and a real treat for both us and y'all. Come see us!

April 15, 2009 - This FRIDAY NIGHT !!! L&F songs review
HEY TEAM...
That's Right, we shall join the Kickin' Grass Band on FRI NITE for ROUND 2, and it shall be worth your while. We promise to do at least ONE new song for you're listening pleasure, hopefully more than that.
I'd also like to take the time to mention that the little album that Rob and I just put out called "Lullabies & Family Songs" has gotten a nice review from Rick Cornell of the Independent Weekly. You can read that here:

Hope to see you at the show! We plan to take a break from playing pretty soon, to turn attention to demoing new stuff, etc. So this may be your last chance to see us for a while.
cheers,
*mike
