Our first trip to the beautiful state of Colorado in mid June is coming together quite nicely. On our way to Colorado, we have a show in Illinois and 2 sets at the Fire In The Flatlands festival in Iowa. From there we head to Colorado and play 3 shows in 4 days in Denver and Boulder. On our way back we are hitting up Kansas City and Terre Haute and then back to Michigan for Founders Fest. Then we immediately head around Lake Michigan the following week. Check out our gigs page for all the show details.
