Hey, everyone. I am getting started booked our summer tour and hoping to hit up some spots we often have a hard time with. Last summer, I feel like I got a handful of messages that were all “Oh, man. You should have asked ME! I could have set up a show!”
So for the interested, in full, total disclosure… we have no idea where to play in South Dakota, Wyoming, Idaho, North Dakota, or Western Montana. If you do shows there, hit up the booking e-mail on the left side of the page and maybe we can play in your town.
Thanks!
