Bakeries, butchers, local farmers, and a raft of fresh vittles are all up and down three full blocks, downtown. I highly recommend coming hungry and stopping in Katie's cafe and bakery on Main.

Those on the IL side already know, and all of you on the MO side of the river ought to know that this place has great breakfasts and a nice group of people enjoying their lunch on the patio.

It's Independence Day Weekend. We will feature what we regard as "patriotic" music associated with peace and justice struggles in U.S. history. No Lee Greenwood tunes allowed.

So much locally produced produce, meats from nearby ranches, and tasty bake goods. It really is worth coming out for this one.

At the time, our percussionist was our friend Donner Rusk, before Donner went off to start his band. We're lucky now to have Kathy Corley, who still plays some gigs with the Brazilian ensemble, Samba Bom. You can hear Kathy on our sampler and most of the tunes in the music box on the page before this one. We look forward to doing a video with her, soon.

Farmers Markets and Outdoor Parties

We're on the produce circuit!! Block parties, St. Pats day gigs, and special events--such as the Kirkwood Library Summer Reading Kick-off.

TransAtlantic and American Roots

E.g. In one set you might Fats Waller, Johnny Cash; Hank Willliams, Tyler Childers, Amy Winehouse, Guns and Roses, Prine, and Dylan.

Why we love playing for Seniors

Seniors like to listen!! Also, the Stones, Joni Mitchell, and Dylan, like us, are seniors. For folks in memory care, You Are My Sunshine, Circle Be Unbroken.
