Happy Summer folks! We're off to a great start and we're really excited about the warm air and the sun shinning over Cville these next few months... We're really excited to get back to FloydFest this year, though we'll be doing a small workshop only this year, so make sure you find out exactly what time we'll be there and which stage... We also just said goodbye to yet another venue here in our town of Charlottesville, The Satellite Ballroom. Though the last night we went out with a bang with help from fellow musicians Shannon Worrell, Sarah White, Jim Waive, Acoustic Groove Trio, Helen Horal, and more... It was a very fun, but sad night... as for what else, come check out this year's Festival of the Photograph, we'll be playing their grand finale @ The Charlottesville Pavilion on June 14th, hope to see you there!

As the rain comes and goes here in C-Ville, so do we!... We took a LONG break through the winter to get crackin' at our new record which is going really well, then we randomly did a few shows here and there. It was a bit scary for us as it wasn't in our normal routine like the past few years before we took a pause, but it was wonderful to play live again. We had a BLAST at The Gravity Lounge on the 20th. There was so much energy it was explosive! RobinElla was great as usual and it was a real treat to hear Morwenna sitting in with her. Go HERE for a little review by www.cvillemuse.com

As for our next show, we'll be teaming up with West African influenced band, Toubab Krewe once again at the Satellite Ballroom in Cville on May 9th. This will be our first and one of our last shows there as the venue's lease has run up and will be soon replaced by a big CVS... come on out to see us ROCK!

And for more fun news, we'll be doing an acoustic set in Charlottesville, VA on April 20th @ Gravity Lounge with our friend and favorite songstress, RobinElla... early show! 7PM... so get there early!

Hey Everyone!
Yes yes yes, it has been a LONG LONG Minute... Where have we been you ask? answer is... in our not so small anymore, always growing Charlottesville, VA working on our next CD... We are very very excited to say that this record definitely shows what we've been up to as of late and we can't wait for you to hear it when it's truly finished. There will be many surprises and hopefully a release for this coming late Spring or Early summer, but who knows right? If you can't wait that long and you need a quick fix and a little getaway (like we do) come on out to

The Purple Fiddle
Thomas, WV
March 1, 2008 @ 8pm

(a great little spot in the beautiful countryside)

This show will be also very fun as our good good friend Ezra Hamilton (dubbed one of the greatest singers ever) will be joining us and opening the show with his new group Open Air Museum. There's still a few tickets and rooms available, but act fast and reserve what you can @ www.purplefiddle.com ...Hope you all are more than well, listening to great music, enjoying fine local foods, and keeping the positivity.
See you all soon,

-Jpun & Morwenna

Hey ya'all! Happy soon to be fall. We've had a great great summer and are really excited for fall to come. We're going to continue touring through Oct. then we'll be on a hiatus until the spring so we can actually finish this long awaited 2nd disc of ours. We're very pleased with this new venture, and we've known it has been taking a while, but it is very worth the wait, we promise. Check out some of the pics from these past few months on the photos page. We had a great time playing at Rhythm & Roots in Bristol, TN/VA, a side-stage for the DMB guys in Raleigh, NC, and not to mention Floydfest!
