Sac has some of the loosest street performance laws in the country. It is like a gangsta's paradise for a renegade drumline. We are going to play in Old Sac and fill our hats with the fat tourist's dollars. If anyone has housing here, we could use it for the night of the ninth.

So, planning this tour has been a lot of hard work, but it is going to be so great to play for new crowds in new cities. I really hope to finish a set and drink some cold ones with some of you this tour.

If you have any questions or want to help out in anyway (promotions, housing, etc...) please get in touch.

If I don't see you in July...I certainly will in August!!!
