While at the Americana Festival in Nashville we had the honor of taping a few tunes for Music Fog. Yes, they did get us out of bed effin early, but we made it – just barely. It was the morning after our Basement show and we really tied one on that night. I think Roadblock’s solo says it all. Big thanks to Jessie, Aaron, and the entire crew at Music Fog – they worked tirelessly and missed out on most of the conference to do their thang. And what a noble thang it is. You can read the the cool write up Jessie did on us here. And check out the amazing endless archives they have on their site. www.musicfog.com
