Well it is hard to believe that another years is coming to an end, the band has had a good year and is looking forward to 2008. They are currently working on new tunes and hope to be in the studio soon.
Thanks to all that voted for us for the Buffalo Music Awards. The band took one Jony won "Best Blues Male Vocalist", Ed from Night Life Magazine presented it to Jony during our show at Milligans Pub on Dec. 12th. Since the band was playing the night of the awards, THANKS ED!!
The band stayed close to home in November and December with there normal stops at the Dinosaur BBQ's. We would like to thank the Gowanda Moose for having us for there Blues At The Moose Festival, it was a packed house we hope to come back some time.
