Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Last Friday, we did something we've never done before: performed a livestream concert, live from the Historic Plant Cafe! It was one of our biggest productions, and we couldn't have done it alone. It went off smoothly, both at the Plant Cafe and through StageIt, thanks to the hard work of our production and technical crew (Jim Parker, Trey Pearson of Millennium Sound, David and Braeden Turner, Chris Karle of Vyve Broadband, and the tech support at StageIt). We had an incredible venue, one that we always love playing, and we're so grateful to Steve, Marla, and Stevie Howell and Ashley Watson for inviting us back and taking such good care of us. We want to thank our guest MC, Mr. Walt Eddings, for the time he spent preparing for the night and doing such a spectacular job, and Heather Cox for her support and patience. 

We can't do what we do without an incredible band (who played SO well Friday and put in hours of hard work, as well as endured the painful experience of a photo shoot). We've got a great group of guys and are so proud of them, and blessed to be able to work with them. Thanks to Logan Inman on lead guitar, Drew Crawford on bass, Austin Lane on drums, and Ryan Middleton on slide and rhythm guitar and mandolin. 

To everyone who came out and cheered us on, thank you! It was so nice to see old friends and make new ones. We love all of you and are so grateful to share this journey with so many beautiful souls. 

Finally, we want to thank our sponsors and promoters: The Plant Cafe, StageIt, Vyve Broadband, The Georgia Music Channel, Millennium Sound Productions, J. Smith Lanier & Co., Eddings Enterprises, Petroleum Services Group, Salon Cheveux, Splash!, Friendly Express, Feys II, VTACT Security Management, Solar Trendz, Lewis & Raulerson, Inc., and Lewis & Raulerson Carrier Group LLC. We have been surrounded by such love, support, and encouragement at every step of the way, and we're so grateful for it. We couldn't have done it without each and every one of you. 

Lots of love, and a massive thank you, from everyone here at Team BEAU + LUCI xoxo

BEAU + LUCI + StageIt

There's a first time for everything, and we are thrilled to announce that we will be live-streaming an intimate acoustic performance from the historic Plant Cafe on Friday, June 12, at 7:00. We'll be performing both currently unreleased music and tracks from our EP, LONG WAY HOME, as well as our radio single, FIRE, and cracking a few less than stellar jokes from our favorite downtown haunt. For those of you who can't be there in person, tickets can be purchased here.

We love performing in new places, and while the Plant Cafe is basically our home, the idea of streaming the show worldwide is so exciting! So clear your calendars, get a tub of ice cream, make yourself a cup of coffee or tea, and come join us for a special BEAU + LUCI performance, live from the historic Plant Cafe to the world!

We're Back in Black (and White and Read All Over)

2015 has been incredible so far, packed full of excitement and big opportunities that we can hardly believe ourselves, so let's have a quick recap before we look forward. We kicked off the year with a sweet acoustic show and a packed house at the Plant Cafe, then spent a week in Music City, taking it all in, handling a few meetings, and eating more than a little good food! We left our hearts in Nashville, and we're more than ready to go back (check back later this week for a full travel journal!). 

We only had a few days between playing the tourist in Nashville and playing shows in Daytona and New Smyrna Beach, FL over Speedweek. The love and support we got from you guys during a week packed full of shows and appearances, and capped off by a once-in-a-lifetime experience in the pits at the NASCAR XFINITY Series Alert Today 300. 

Following the race, we played two weekends back to back at Moccasin Creek Offroad Park, sharing the stage with our new friends Young Sullivan at the Muddin & Music for Makinley Rain Nobody Fights Alone Benefit, and then the next weekend, first at the Blackshear stage dedication, and then back at MCORP with The Steven Flowers Band. 

We headed back to New Smyrna Beach for the New Smyrna Balloon and Sky Fest, where we played a four-song set before getting rained out. The weather didn't pass in time for us to go back on, but we did get to hang around and watch the lovely and talented Brad Sayre blow our minds, and then Jared Blake and his awesome band rock the stage. Finally, we played at the historic Annual Blessing of the Fleet in Brunswick, GA. It's always an honor and inspiration to play with people who are driven, dedicated, and passionate about what they do, and, as always, we had a fabulous time. 

While in Daytona, we released our EP, Long Way Home, with three songs: Fire, Uncaged, and Long Way Home. We've been anticipating such an exciting event since we started writing our own music, and we've been thrilled at the reception it's received, as well as the release of Fire to radio on April 20th! It's been so cool to see all of your feedback, and to hear how much you guys love a song that we've put our heart and soul into. Keep letting us know where you are when you hear it. It's such a humbling and encouraging thought to know that our music is being played all over the world and touching the hearts of people we may never meet face to face, but that's why music is so special: it's a universal magic. We're just glad to be a small part of it.  

Also...WOW. We're so close to hitting TEN THOUSAND LIKES, a huge milestone for us. We're so blown away by the love and support you've given to us, and we want you to know how grateful we are to every single one of you, whether you were here from the very beginning or hit that "LIKE" button yesterday. Either way, keep liking and sharing, and let's get to 10,000. As soon as we do, you'll be entered into a raffle, and one lucky winner will get a really cool prize. 

Lots of love,

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

There are exactly six days until Christmas, but it seems like yesterday was just before Thanksgiving! How time has flown! Of course, our schedule has kept us busy, but we couldn't be more excited; finishing off 2014 with a packed schedule only means that we'll be racing into 2015, with a kickoff in Daytona (hint, hint)!

We've been in the studio twice in the past month, racing to finish up tracks for a VERY exciting project which will be officially announced on Tuesday, January 6th, so make sure to "Like" our Facebook page and follow us on Twitter and Instagram (BEAUandLUCI) to stay up to date! Remember to share us with your friends, coworkers, and even your dog, if you're dog is super tech-savvy and into social media and organic rock, indie pop, modern country sister-duos. 

We kicked off the Christmas season with a lovely party in our brand-new studio (thanks so much to Mr. Brian Fey of FEYS II Management for being so generous!) during the Blackshear Christmas Parade. We had a blast meeting fans, watching the parade, and eating cupcakes, which, if you were wondering, did taste as good as they looked! We're so grateful to Ann Lane of Cupcake Lane for making them...we really did enjoy them!

A few days after the Christmas party, we hit the road again, stopping off in Atlanta for meetings at Jan Smith Studios, where we'll be working with Heidi Higgins starting in January, before taking a quick pit stop in the North Georgia mountains, and then we headed to the studio to wrap up our newest (and exciting!) project, which we will expand upon shortly! As always, working with our dear friend and producer Mark Dowdy at Rivercrest Music Studios is hardly work at all, and we're absolutely bursting to share our new music + plans for 2015 with you! 

(For the record, we are NOT working on an album called Bohemian Rap-CD. But if we were, this would be the cover.)

Remember to check back next Tuesday, January 6th, for an exciting announcement! 

Wishing you the merriest of Christmases and the happiest of holidays, 

BEAU + LUCI

A Time of Thanksgiving

The holiday season has always been a special time for our family, despite the business that comes with it! We always find ourselves spending a bit more time together, laughing at jokes that might have gotten eye rolls a few months earlier, and, of course, putting in quite a few hours of decorating for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.

Christmastime is our largest undertaking, but there's something peaceful about bringing down the boxes full of autumn leaves, smiling scarecrows, and pumpkins that are just too pleasant to be included in the Halloween decorations. It only takes us a few hours to finish up, but we're always glad to have spent it together, with no sense of chaos and no deadlines to meet. 

At this time of the year, it's easy to get caught up in the rush. There are meals to prepare, family coming in, presents to buy and wrap (hopefully before Christmas Eve, though we've all been there!), and something always goes wrong, whether the turkey is still frozen when it's time to eat, or there's a squirrel in the Christmas tree, a la National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (fingers crossed none of us have to deal with such a thing, though it would add some excitement!), and without fail, we all have our "Cousin Eddie" adventures over the holidays. 

Even if nothing goes wrong at all, we oftentimes find ourselves at New Year's, wondering how November and December flew by so quickly. After all, it's supposed to be August, right? But whether you're so full of holiday spirit that you've been playing Christmas songs nonstop since November 1st at 12:01 AM, or if you're still insisting that "It's only November, turn that off!", we hope that you'll take a moment in the middle of the hustle and bustle and realize that, hey, life is good, family is crazy (but that's okay), and there's really so much to be thankful for.  

It is the most wonderful time of the year, after all.
