GAH! How cool is this!? We love seeing a couple of lovely SSMFers tearing up other stages together.

The Last Waltz blew me away, all the way into the Atlantic Ocean. Good times.

We had the best time out in Effingham, IL for Summer Sundown Music Festival last night. The music was fantastic all around. It was a real treat hanging with our friends in MoonShroom, and Justin Rose & The Green Thumbs. We saw a lot of friends and made some new ones to boot! It has been way too long since we hit that stage at Lake Sara and we are super grateful for Poss Music Works, Garrett Burris, and their team for all the hard work they do. It takes a big ole team from the volunteers, to the stage hands, front of house, vendors, merchandise folks and a ton more we are forgetting, but damn! What a fantastic event!! Thank you so much for having us. We sure hope to join you again sometime, somewhere down the road.

Today we are having a home town throw down! Let’s all meet up at The Silo at Route 3 for some family friendly fun in good ole Waterloo, IL. Music hits 7-10pm, time to dance! 💃 🪩 🕺
