The Club

What a weekend!! Well, what a month, to be honest! We would be remiss if we started this blog out without a massive thank you to our band. We've had a lot of long practices and late nights, and we can't thank our guys enough for all their hard work, patience, and support while preparing for our first shows as a band. We loved every minute of it...even the ones with the bad jokes and mild MASSIVE anxiety attacks.

We spent Friday night on St. Simons Island at the Club at Bennie's Red Barn, from 9 PM to 1 AM, and we had an absolute blast hanging out with our incredible band and family and spending the night doing what we love at one of our favorite places on the island! There are no words to truly describe how grateful we are for every opportunity to sing, and we have had such a great time getting to know the fans and followers who travel to see us as often as they can! We want to give a huge thank you to Wayne and Holly Thompson, Kyce, Chris, Lacey, Chip, and William for taking such good care of us and giving us the opportunity to play at the Club! We can't wait to come back. 

Our next scheduled show is September 6th at Moccasin Creek Off Road Park in Blackshear, Georgia. Keep checking back for more details as the date draws closer, and be sure to follow us on Facebook and join the mailing list on our official website to be the first to know about shows, releases, and other insider perks, as well as to hear advanced previews of five songs from our upcoming EP release!

Second Sunday

WHAT a weekend!! Ours started on Thursday, with an interview with ESPN Coastal Radio (790 AM and 103.7 FM Coastal Georgia, 1400 AM and 104.3 Savannah and Hilton Head, and 1350 AM Waycross),  in Brunswick, Georgia. We had such a blast with Mark and Jackie, and we're so grateful for the opportunity to talk about our music! The interview aired Saturday, August 9th, and Sunday, August 10th, at 12 AM, and we did do a bit of squealing when we heard ourselves on ESPN radio! 

On Friday, we played at the Downtown Waycross Market with our band, and we made it through the entire show before the storm came! We seem to have a magnetic appeal to thunder storms, but maybe it's just what happens when you play during the summer in the South! The breeze was nice, too, and we're so grateful to everyone who came out despite the weather! We'll be sure to learn an anti-rain dance before the next show. 

We had another show on Sunday, on St. Simons, for Second Sunday. We love being on the island, and Second Sunday is an incredible event that supports local charities, and we want to thank Wayne Thompson especially for giving us the chance to play! Along with great music and a gorgeous view of the ocean, we had a wonderful meal and got to enjoy two bands before we went on. We were unable to finish our set because of a storm (which, ironically, started during Bad Moon Rising!), but we want to thank everyone who stuck it out as long as possible to hear us! We're sorry we got cut short, but we had a great time, and we're so grateful for the opportunity to play for such a great cause, and for everyone who gave of their time and resources to make Second Sunday happen.  

This next week will be packed with practices as we prepare for our show at The Club at Bennie's Red Barn on St. Simons this Friday, August 15th, from 9 - 1 AM. We look forward to seeing you there, and to a great time at one of our favorite places! 

Lots of love,

Beau + Luci

The Farm Benefit at The Club at Bennie's Red Barn

We had an awesome time last Sunday, July 20th, when we had the opportunity to play at a benefit for The Farm, which is located on St. Simons Island, hosted by The Club at Bennie's Red Barn. The Farm is a rescue, rehabilitation, retirement, and hospice home for animals who need a healthy, happy place to live and be loved and cared for. We had an absolute blast, and knowing that we were doing something to help these innocent creatures who spend their entire lives loving their humans only made it more fun!  

The Farm has animals of all sorts, including horses, cows, goats, geese, chickens, sheep, cats, dogs, and rabbits, and the volunteers and kind souls who run the place dedicate their time, energy, and resources to caring for these animals. Volunteers are always welcomed at The Farm to give some love to these sweet animals! They also have an open house most Sunday afternoons from 2 - 4 PM Eastern time, though other visits are by appointment only, so you can get to know some of the animals on The Farm. 

And of course, we would be remiss not to mention Tunsis himself! Tunsis is a very large goat who runs The Farm on his own terms and schedule. If he's in the mood, you might be able to meet Tunsis while visiting The Farm.  Tunsis is very opinionated and lets everyone who enters The Farm know that they are on his turf and must do things on "Tunsis Time," as the fundraiser T-shirts showcase - all in good humor - because Tunsis is loved by all who visit and volunteer.

However, if volunteering doesn't fit into your schedule, or if you live too far away to make it to the island, you can make a tax deductible donation to make sure these animals get the love and care they deserve! And if you just aren't an animal person, The Farm utilizes many skills of volunteers for keeping it running smoothely, safely and effectively, so think outside of the box and put your skills to work at The Farm. We can't wait to head over and volunteer ourselves. 

We're so grateful to Wayne Thompson and everyone who made it possible for us to be involved in such an incredible event for this great cause. The Club at Bennie's Red Barn, did a fantastic job putting this event together, and we can't wait to head back down to St. Simons to play again!  Make your plans now for 2nd Sunday at Gascoinge Bluff on Aug. 10th, 2014 from 1pm - 7pm; we'll be there for another great fundraiser! 

Lots of love,

Beau + Luci
