Dogwood Update

If you haven't checked the website lately you may not know that the band's new CD, Dogwood, is finished and will be ready to ship soon.  We had hoped to have the CD ready by mid-December, but we had some problems with artwork.  Those problems have been solved and the artwork is almost finished.  The CD will be ready for our March Midwest tour (and possibly sooner).

There are sample tracks of the entire CD available in the Discography  section of the website.
