Happy New Year!
2012 has arrived in a swift fashion. We’ve been extremely busy with the school, work & the musical balancing act. Bethany, Ty, Ian and I have slowly but surely been piecing together a collection of new songs to be recorded this March. We’ll be working alongside Trevor Hobbs, Seth Bernard and May Erlewine on the initial tracks at Kalamazoo’s Miss Muse. Ben Lau and Ian Gorman will man the controls.
We’ve also been nominated for a handful of WYCE Jammies! What an honor! You can cast your vote here: http://www.ballotbin.com/voterReg.php?b=29073
Enjoy Old Man Winter. Break out the X-country skis!

The Great Lakes region is once again looking to welcome the temperate autumn season with open arms. The cooler evenings and decreaseed humidity allow for more regular sleeping patterns. Old comforters and blankets have once again become commonplace household items.
The end of the growing season welcomes the Earthwork Harvest Gathering! The 11th annual event will be held September 16-18 in Lake City. 60 bands grace three stages over the weekend! We perform on Saturday at 4pm in the barn. A magical weekend that we highly recommend!
Gifts or Creatures will also be playing alongside our dear friend May Erlewine on September 24th at Bell’s Brewery in Kalamazoo! We’ll be opening the evening and shortly thereafter joining May’s band onstage for the entire night!
We look forward to seeing some of you soon! We’ll have some new merchandise at the upcoming shows too. Thanks to our bandmate Ty Forquer for his vision and design!

Happy Independence Day! We’ve had an enjoyable summer thus far. June brought water awareness, new tunes and plenty of friends. We spent one evening early in the month alongside a few of our favorite Michigan acts (Chris Bathgate and Gun Lake) at Woodruff’s in Ypsilanti. The Grand River Water Fest in Lowell brought a slew of Mitten centered music, food, and H20 education. BIG thanks to WMEAC for the superb effort and vision!
Bethany and I are currently spending time in Denver with friends! We’ve scoured flea markets, traversed Rocky Mountain National Park, and enjoyed plenty of locally sourced Colorado treats (including a visit to Stranahan’s and New Belgium).
We’ll be supporting the Ragbirds at Bell’s Brewery in Kalamazoo on July 22nd!
Gifts or Creatures will also be performing on July 30th in downtown East Lansing with a full band! The show is free and children friendly!

The pair of Earthwork Earth Day shows this week were a riot! Thanks to everyone who came out to East Lansing and Kalamazoo Libraries!
Bethany, Ty and I are looking forward to the warmer months ahead. New tunes, instruments and visions continue to shape the springtime as western chorus frogs and peepers make a joyful noise throughout the greater Lansing area.

After the ISLAND benefit show at Short’s last weekend, I stoked a wood stove into the wee hours trying to maintain the slightest hint of bodily warmth. The chilly April snowfall outside the 3-season cabin made for a delightful evening of post show chatter. It’s in these quiet hours away from the comforts and confines of home that I find the experience of traveling and playing music to be the most joyful. Northern Michigan has a nostalgic essence for most Michiganders that call the southern part of the Wolverine state home.

Happy Trails!

Wintry winter time is in full-swing here in the Mitten. Bethany and I have been having a blast shaping and performing tunes with the full-band. The addition of of Kalamazoo’s Joshua Keller on trumpet adds therapeutic character to our lives in the utmost fashion. BIG THANKS to everyone who came out in support at the Ark in Ann Arbor! It was a dream to play the legendary performance space for our amazing community! We’ll use the next few weeks to charge up and enjoy the doldrums of icy season in Lansing. Kind Regards.
