update (also my effort to post more)

So we just won the CofC Battle of the Bands at the Music Farm last night!!!! What is our prize you ask? Well, we get to play more music! We officially opening up for State Radio on April 25th at Cougarpalooza in the heart of downtown charleston/cofc campus (in the cistern yard). We hope everyone can make it out because its FREE, and It should be a beautiful day outside.


-Side Note: remember the previous post when we said April would be lighter on gigs, Well we lied. Turns out we have problem, a booking problem, it just never ends. I think we are our own best managers. So we have 16 gigs this month.

As always, thanks for everyone's support. I'm still amazed how many people continually come out to our shows day after day. It is absolutely the greatest thing in the world.

Looking towards the future...

Sometimes it feels like we are living in the future. We are nearly completely booked up until June (which is slowly filling up too!!). Lots of exciting things going on in the next few months; April is light in gigs (only 10 compared to nearly 20 last month), however, I'm positive we will still feel just as busy. I can only hope that we fill that time with writing the new, practicing the old, and of course new cover tunes is a must.

Here's a sample of what is on our plate:

1. Old You plays on a boat, thats right, 4/9 on the USS Yorktown. Sorry its a private party.
2. First gig in North Carolina (Wilmington @ Kefi 4/22) thanks to Casey, Nautilus, and Pipeline Event Management
3. Caleb graduates CofC w/ a BA in Psych (music minor) 5/7
4. Old You recording at Awendaw Green during the second week in May;  Old songs reworked? Previously unrecorded songs? Brand-spanking new songs? Who knows? It may contain a little bit of everything.

The future is always an interesting point of view, although it is nearly always a skewed vision. Just remember to focus determinately and put positive energy into the present. You will find yourself meeting or even exceeding your expectations, even when things don't turn out as you planned.

As always, thanks for your support,
-Caleb
