 Hey everyone out there in cyberspace!

Since Strawberry Bearfoot has been jet-settin’ around the country.  After a day’s rest in San Francisco we flew to Minneapolis-St. Paul and got that beautiful part of the country  for the first time and played a 20-minute showcase for the Arts Midwest presenter’s conference.  Excellent coffee in that town!  The next day we had to board a morning flight to L.A. to get to our intimate little Boulevard Music gig in Culver City and enjoy a relaxing overnight stay with a very sweet couple we met there (thanks Ron and Gale!)  Mike got  an early morning of surfing, Odessa made the morning Bikram Yoga session at the Mr. Bikram’s studio, and then we drove several hours north for a gig in Arroyo Grande.

            With sunny beaches on our minds and new sports cars at every corner, we continued on down to Laguna Beach. We enjoyed the water, waves, and 75 degree weather for a few hours before playing at a beautiful golf resort much to the delight of the nearly sold-out crowd of locals and visiting golfers (see the pictures of us posted on the website and our myspace page.)  After enjoying the resort’s hospitality for the night, we cruised out to the airport and flew to Nashville for our AMA showcase at the Station Inn.  While in Nashville we all got to jam with many of our local friends there from various bands, play on WSM’s morning show, and showcase at our label (Compass’s) open house.  Our stay in Nashville definitely made me excited about moving there in a couple weeks!!

            Now we are all in the car driving to Washington, NC. for a show tonight. Tomorrow we’re heading on to Chapel Hill where our booking agent lives and has organized a gig herself for us.  On Sunday we will be heading to the state line of Tennessee and Virginia to play at Bristol Rhythm and Roots.   Bearfoot has wanted to play there for years and will finally get to!  Yeeeehaaaaa! 

            That’s it for now everybody, but we will be posting again very soon, and we hope to see you soon at our upcoming shows!!

Cheers!

Jason
