Hello friends..
Well now people! We just had a blast playing at TEDx Bellingham. What an amazing, bizarre, and fun experience. Just wanted to let y'all know.. we're playing this Saturday at the Green Frog. Not only that, but we're sharing the bill with a really cool travelling performer, Hazel Ra, and one of our very favorite local bands.. Hot Damn Scandal! 9:30pm at the ol' Green Frog! Hot Dog! Sittin' on a log!

Hello Neighbors!
Hey folks.. Been awhile.. well what can we say? We're a couple o' bums who don't play on the computer too much.. We do play a shit ton of music though, and we've got some shows coming up that we thought we'd clue you in on..
This Wednesday, April 10th, we'll be opening up for our good buddies the Foghorn Stringband right here in good ol' Bellingham. Where? Why, the Green Frog of course with it's ample dancing space, plentiful good drinks, big-ass back deck, and bacon hour. Yes! Show starts about 8:30 and cost $10
Saturday, April 20th, you can find us at Randy's Roadhouse along with Sweetheart of the Rodeo, Boris Budd, Headliners, and Bad Assets! Randy's is a Bellingham institution, being a house show venue that's been going at it for 20 years now! There is always salmon on the grill, lot's of people you know, kids, grandma's, dancers, prancers and all. It's a $5 donation, dinner starts at 6:30, music at 7pm. We'll be going on around 11. If you wanna know where.. well, ask and you shall receive. or something like that.
Friday, May 3rd, we'll be in Seattle along with our dear buds the Crow Quill Night Owls, at Slim's Last Chance in Georgetown. We haven't played at Slim's for a few years.. I'm really looking forward to eating some beans and cornbread and having a fuggin partay!
Saturday, May 4th, we'll still be in Seattle, this time up in Ballard at Conor Byrnes with the fabulous Foghorn Stringband. So if you can't catch us Friday, come and see us tonight! ...or vice versa. We're stoked to play with Foghorn for many reasons, a few of them being.. They simply play KICK ASS music. We have seen each other in less than sober moments in the wilds of Alaska and lived to tell. Reeb plays a guitar that Devin built. They are all devastatingly handsome and beautiful, at the same time. For these reasons and more, you should be there!

Bellingham Shows!
Hello friends,
It's been quite awhile since we've posted here. As many of you know Lucas has been undergoing aggressive chemotherapy for seven months now, and had a major surgery in the midst of it. To say it has been extremely difficult is an understatement. Yet throughout these months Luke has stayed strong, kept an inspiring high spirit, and of course played music whenever humanly possible. There has been an incredible amount of support from friends and family in Bellingham and beyond. It's hard to express enough gratitude. Thank you. Well, just this weekend Lucas finished his final round of chemo and it's time to fucking celebrate. There's still many months ahead of healing, possible after-effects and physical therapy, but that's not slowing down our man. So we hope you can come join us at one of these shows, drink a toast to good health, and symbolically give Lucas a pat on the back! (but PLEASE don't actually pat him on the back.)
November 3rd - Randy's Roadhouse! w/Stella Bruce, Ben Wildenhaus, Boris Budd, Scott Greene Band, more!?
Randy's is a B'ham institution of sorts. Perhaps one of the longest running house show venues in town. You can expect a salmon BBQ, good company young and old, and great music. And it happens to be Randy's birthday. Don't know where it is? send me an email and we'll get you there.
November 4th - 2 shows!
early- Ciderfest @Bellewood Acres I believe we play around 2 or 3 in the afternoon. Good food, good cider, good music.
late- The Shakedown w/Crow Quill Night Owls, Sansa and Shiri(oakland/nola) It's always a joy to play with our good friends! Join us tonight for the show we've all been waiting for. Crow Quill are no strangers to these parts, bringing the best hokum, rags, and jugband music around. We're really excited that Sansa and Shiri are in town. They do a great variety show with German cabaret, 40's harmonies, skits, jokes, tap dancing and more! You might know Shiri from Sour Mash Hug Band, and Sansa from the Yard Dogs Road Show.
Hope to see you all soon!

Thanks Bellingham!
Hello Friends, and a big thank you to all who came out to the Green Frog for Lucas' benefit show. Let's keep him in our thoughts and prayers while his doctor freezes the living shit out of that tumor! For real.
This Saturday, April 14th at the Blue Horse Gallery is a show we were going to play before Lucas knew he was going to New York. Our friends Whiskey Puppy from Portland are playing. Also, The Mighty Ghosts of Heaven from Portland too... actually the original incarnation of this band was Bellingham through and through. Since Luke is out of town, Devin will be playing a solo set as Nobocaster. 7pm, $8..
April 27th we'll be back at the Green Frog, doing our thing at the best damn bar around.
April 29th you can find us on the lawn in Fairhaven for the annual Dirty Dan Days. Lucas will probably win the cupcake in the beard fish throw contest again. We play at 2:30 in the afternoon... and it's Free!
Jam.

Winter Stompin!
Hey friends..
We've been having a great winter so far. We were recently down in Portland for the Old Time Music Gathering. Phew.. good times were had, late nights, monster jams, subdued jams, biscuits and gravy, square dancing.. all the good stuff that we could hope for. Coming right up is the Winter Stomp! It's a first-time event in Mt Vernon, at the beautiful Lincoln Theater. We'll be playing along with Skagit county favorites - Smokewagon, and Portland's own Foghorn Stringband. This happens February 4th. Then February 10th and 11th in Bellingham, we'll be performing with The Provocateurs. They are a local burlesque troupe with fun, sexy dances, and great music! (ahem) This is a Valentines weekend event and is happening at The Radio Museum.
We hope to see you soon!

Happy Fall!
Hello friends..
We're starting to set up a few shows after a hiatus due in part to busted thumbs and in part to busy lives. Look for more to come this fall/winter including some NW shows with our pals the Crow Quill Night Owls, and if we can get it together.. Lonesome Shack. In the meantime we'll be pressin' cider, bakin' bread, teachin' the kids, and gettin' wet in the rain! Also The Shadies (Lucas Hicks, Reeb Willms, Jenny Lara, Andy Rick, and sometimes Devin Champlin and others) play every Tuesday in Bellingham at The Honeymoon. Drink some mead, listen to some oldtime country. Jam!
