Day 10: State Troopers & Long Hauls.

We made the rather long trip from Erie, PA to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. We got pulled over in Pennsylvania by a very sweet state trooper. She knew right away that we were a band, and cared more about what style of music we played and where we were from, rather than the fact we were doing twenty-five miles over the speed limit. She gave us a quick warning and was excited to hear the copy of 'Valance' we gave her. Good cops do still exist, and we have had the opportunity to meet them. We arrived on time, and had enough time to setup and soundcheck. The room was packed with people of all walks and ages, and we found a way to work out a set that grabbed their attention. By the end of the last set, the room was alive. We all feel fortunate that we can get away with delivering an original set of music to a diverse crowd, and have it work. Although cover songs can be a security blanket, we feel they are not essential to staying warm. 

We left around twelve-thirty am, and headed towards Vermont. There is something nostalgic about the views of Philadelphia and New York City from 95 early in the morning. We made it home around ten am, and can officially consider it a successful tour, and one well done. We had a very positive experience, and look forward to visiting each and every place again in the future. Thanks once again to all who made this tour possible. All of our family, friends (old and new), our manager Leah and Jack Tremblay as well as everyone else who keeps our bases covered when we are on the road. 

Lastly, Thanks to all of those that believe in and support our dreams. We have only love for you. 

Keep in touch with us! 

Love,
