Yes, that means FREE if you want it to mean free! Hurry, it only applies to the first 200 downloads!

We got called Saturday to fill-in as the direct support for Ben Rector in front of approx. 500 at Amos’ Southend! It was a killer opportunity and we’re very thankful to have gotten it. We’ll be uploading some video from it soon, but for now, here’s a pic:

We’re tracking an acoustic version of “Settle It Down” with Swaff and Jake Roland as I type, along with 2 new songs: “Price You Pay” and “Timing Is Everything”. The EP should be ready for your ears early this spring!
