Howdy Friends!

Hope you have had a fantastic summer!  Into the fall we go and the fun continues.   One of the super cool events coming up is The Great Handcar Regatta!  This is one of my favorite events in Sonoma County and I just read an article by Dan Taylor  in the Press Democrat that it may be the last year to experience it in its current location due to district construction plans next year!  So you definitely don't want to miss this event!  

Also, Joshua Stithem, mastermind of the North Bay Hootenanny, has put together the Handcar Regatta Afterparty at the Last Day Saloon!   Some of you may remember how crazy fun it was last year!  Nothin' like a big dancin' and footstompin' celebration to conclude such a great event!

I have posted some more awesome upcoming shows and a new video below!  I hope this letter finds you well!  See ya soon!

Truly,

David
