Not much going on gig wise after September, we are looking to start getting together in the winter on a more regular basis to begin fleshing out some new songs for our live shows as well as working on 8-10 new songs for our as-yet-untitled next album. I'm hoping to begin working on the album within the next year. We are in no rush or hurry, we just want this next album, which will be our seventh release, to be our best yet. 

    In other news, I've been in preliminary talks with Barry Diament our producer at Soundkeeper Recordings about recording another live acoustic record up at the barn in Connecticut. I've sent Barry a couple of demos and he is eager to hear more, we're still a year or so away, as we need to write 4-5 new acoustic songs for this project. It's always a pleasure working with Barry and his team, God willing we will get some inspiration and start on this album in 2028..Time will tell..

   That's about it from the Homestead, have a great end of summer, come on down and catch us live in September as we most likely will not be performing live for a few months, lots of love to ya all. God bless. GK
