Wait, just kidding! Here's an updated schedule with even MORE shows through September, and it turns out the Mayville Bluegrass Festival is actually IN Mayville, NY and not just a cleverly deceptive name! Who knew?! (...Bill Ward and every single person who lives in Mayville, NY probably!)

Check out our Bands in Town for even more show details, and we'll see you on the dancefloor!! by @thebeardandthebird

Thank you so much to everyone who voted for us, to the Academy, @nathanriveramusic and @bulbancha_yaya for their effortless and immense musical prowess, @zenmastering for his epic Mastering and for Cat's dad jumping up and down saying "Win!" over and over as we we backed down the driveway.

We had a great time playing at @tikioasis! Everyone who knows us knows that Cat especially loves massive crowds and confined spaces 😂.

Come see us in more crowds this week at Jackrabbit this Wednesday night, Mayville Bluegrass Festival this Saturday, and Hoochenanny Festival on Sunday! by @thebeardandthebird
