So there are two new tunes from the upcoming album posted in the facebook page.  ”Jail” is in audio-only form, and “Uncle Pen” is in video form.  Do check ‘em out. Trying to catch up on the road diary backlog, here’s Trevor’s account of our show in Charlottesville a few weeks back: Wednesday October 1stGravity Lounge Charlottesville […]

A Day At The Fair

Posted by Chris on 21 Oct 2008 | Tagged as: News from the Road

Our final day in Virginia before turning ourselves westward was Sunday,  October 5 at the State Fair of Virginia.  We left behind the Asheville, NC Best Western (and fond memories of the O’Connell nuptials, of course – road diary entry to follow) real early, as it’s a pretty good jaunt north to Richmond.  Managed to […]

Atlanta Adventures

Well, Decatur to be exact, but it’s essentially Atlanta, if you know the region.  We already posted Trevor’s ruminations on the day off that followed the gig, here’s his comments on the gig itself.  If you wanted too, you could cut and paste the two entries so that they ran in order.  Wouldn’t that be […]

Continuing with our entirely non-chronological recap of the tour that was, here’s some Trevorizing on last weekend’s festivities:
Weston Irish festival
Weston, Missouri
October 10th and 11th
Weston is a quaint town close to Kansas City. We’ve played in the area quite a few times over the years including here at the festival four years ago. There were lots […]

A day off (sort of)

Posted by Chris on 17 Oct 2008 | Tagged as: News from the Road

There are (clear as the nose on your face) two different types of day off out here on the road.  There’s the travel day, and the non-travel day.  The travel days can be further broken up, based on how much traveling is involved and whether it’s at the beginning or end of a tour or […]

You can check out a tune from our new CD (coming early next year) at our facebook page (just search clumsy lovers from your page).  The song is called “Danielle”, drop us a line and let us know what you think.
Also, about a week back we were in Kentucky.  I know it sounds crazy but […]

Mountain Mama, Take Me Home…

No, we didn’t do the Brown Eyed Girl medley so that we could happily belt out “West Virginia” when we got to “Country Roads”.  I don’t think we ever have in ol’ WV.  Maybe we will one day.  It’s good to have goals.  Here’s what did happen, according to our fearless lead singer:
Thursday, October 2, […]

On a Boat on a Lake in Idaho

Posted by Chris on 02 Oct 2008 | Tagged as: News from the Road

Greetings from Thomas, WV.  Just getting ready to sound check at the Purple Fiddle, our favorite West Virginia mountain getaway.  We’ve had a great tour so far, mainly through the south (shows in Tennessee, North Carolina, Georgia, Virginia).  We’ll try to get some recaps up here shortly, but in the interim here’s Trevor’s recollections on […]
