Hello from Colorado and Spring Tour Announcement

Travel journal from 10,200ft, Leadville, CO:  We’ve spent the last week driving around the Rocky Mountains of Colorado bringing our music to the snowy alpine country.  The drives have been spectacular, the crowds have been fun, and we’ve kept our longjohns on.  Russ, Wes, and I tackled the slopes at Crested Butte, bombing hills like chickenhawks (“Thanks Dan, for the cheap lift tickets!”) .  Yesterday we got to witness one of Leadville’s fine cowboy traditions at the annual Crystal Carnival.  The main street downtown is blocked off and piled with snow.  Large ramps are built and a weekend-long competition is held in which skiiers are towed through the course behind a galloping horse and rider through a cheering avenue of onlookers.  Somewhere between the rodeo and the Xgames, “skijoring” is one sport I don’t ever see myself attempting.

Our buddy, Linc, is taking us snowmobiling this morning before we head back down to Denver for another week of shows along the front range.

We are announcing our spring tour today.  Check the schedule and come see us in a town near you!  Click on the links to check out the Facebook event pages, and please invite your friends in these towns!

You can hear a new sneak preview from our upcoming album, “Believe” at our myspace and website.  The song “Suffer” will be available for free download through the month of March.
