about

We recorded these tracks live in 2018. We love the live recording process, and working with Dave Melyan on drums and Jimi Bott recording us is always a great experience (Thank you, guys!). It feels good to release them now, especially after this year of uncertainty and redefining how we "do" music as we go forward.

Music Acknowledgement: Like a land acknowledgement, we want to acknowledge that while we love the Blues and play music in the Blues genre, we are White musicians and therefore guests in the House of the Blues; we did not build it nor did we have to experience the same struggle that created it. We acknowledge that the Blues is Black History. We honor the creators of the Blues. We acknowledge the inequities that take place in our modern Blues scene that allow White artists to often benefit more than Black artists from this Black art form, and we as a Blues scene need to do better.
Black Lives Matter.

We want to thank some people who have and have been supporting us when the pandemic hit and through this whole time when all of our live music work had to be put on indefinite hold. We can't thank you enough!

And anyone I forgot as I'm putting the final touches on this getting ready to release it and my brain is fogging over (I have a feeling I will need to update this list ❤︎).

Thank you to Rick (our regular drummer) and Kathy Jacobson for being awesome!

Thank you to Shaun Lawrence for helping us sort our our cover art!

Thank you to #TheRealLadyA Anita White for playing our music on Lady A's Black N Blues The B Side on Saturday afternoons on NWCZ Online Radio!
