Rocky Top, you'll always be

Hootie Hoo, TSb followers.  The boys are here again, and we wanted to give you a quick update on the tour.  Sadly our time in Tennessee has come to an end, as we are now venturing into the Deep South, where we will spend some time in Georgia and Alabama.  But we couldn’t say goodbye to the Volunteer State, without first doing an amazing interview at Vanderbilt with Handsome Dan.  Shortly after the interview we ventured back over to Knoxville and spent a few days having a little too much fun at the Goal Post Tavern.  All the pleasurable moments in Knoxville were capped off with a killer show at the Preservation Pub and a morning show on WDVX.  It was there we had our good pal, Bob Barone, join us on the pedal steel and he even had time the following morning to scratch some steel at the WDVX Radio Show.  Both shows were amazing.  The crowd at Preservation Pub was so appreciative and really showed us a good time.  On our way out of the Vol-State, we had to make one last stop at Sweet P’s Barbeque and Soul House.  It was our third trip there since being in Knoxville, and let us be the first to tell you that it is the best BBQ, this side of the Mississippi. 

We would like to thank all of those who joined us in Tennessee.  We extremely enjoyed our time there and appreciate all the Southern Hospitality.  

Headed Home Tour continues in Tennessee

The Headed Home tour continues, as we just completed a welcoming show at the Two Old Hippies in Nashville, Tn.  While the show went off without a hitch, it almost never happened.  I use the word “almost” loosely, but on our way to Nashville we had a run in with the fuzz.  We aren’t quite sure how long we were being followed, but once we noticed the blue-lights, we were certain this was one of two things.  1. It was a customary escort to the Grand Ole Opry, or B. Officer Farva was looking to punch-a-size our face.  Well, it was actually neither.  Apparently we were quickly profiled for driving the Time Machine, and the assumption was made that we were carrying numerous narcotics and having a little too much fun.  So after enduring everything but a latex glove we were released and continued on to our destination.

Before the show in Nashville, we spent some time as tourists and hit Third Man Records, Antique Archeology, and Grimey’s record store.  We mention Grimey’s because we were able to catch Drew Holcomb and The Neighbors, who have a phenomenal sound and are definitely worth the listen.

The show at the Two Old Hippies was perfect, the stage was incredible and the folks there were appreciative of us Carolina lads.

After the show we loaded up and headed to Memphis, where we did a little number at Java Cabana.  Memphis was hopping, and Beale Street was Blues heaven.  We spent our evening catching some tunes and enjoying the company at Rum Boogie Café. 

Thanks to all those that came out in Nashville and Memphis and helped make our stops a success.  We are now in route back to Nashville, where we will sit down for an interview at Vanderbilt University.

TSb out.

Headed Home Tour Underway

Hello Owlets!  The TSb boys are on the road and we are excited to spread the word of our new album, Headed Home.  Our first stop, Johnson City, TN, was extremely successful.  Thanks to the folks at The Acoustic Coffeehouse, we were able to play in front of some familiar faces and some not so familiar faces.  The enthusiasm was overwhelming and for that we are much appreciative. 

The following morning we headed over to East Tennessee State University, and joined the Edge for a killer interview and jam session.  The guys there were on top of their game and said our dialogue and live tunes will be aired this Saturday (3/9).   We are extremely obliged for the hospitality and candor from Wesley, Ben, and Dane, at the Edge Studio.

Keep coming back for more updates, as the Headed Home tour is just underway and things are sure to get weird.
