Tonight's (Acoustic!) Setlist: 8/23/14, Highlands Aqua Club, Penn Hills, Pa.

'The hill's up, the valley's down below...'

With our drummer taking his lovely fiancee on a well-deserved vacation, we took tonight's set a little higher into the Appalachian hills with a laid-back, dare I say countrified acoustic evening.

Tonight's Setlist: 8/8/14, Penn Hills Library, Penn Hills, Pa.

"Don't say I didn't warn you, when your train gets lost..."

Our lead guitarist got stuck in traffic on the way to the gig, so we had to debut the Charlie Hustle Blues Trio for a hot minute on the first two tunes. Otherwise, it was a high-energy night under the lovely retractable roof on the back pavilion of the library.
