On the way to Whitesburg we stopped at a little flea market in Hazard Kentucky where we stumbled into a back room with used instruments, I discovered and fell in love with a little tenor Ukulele, and bought it. It's name is Hazard Purchase.

fall tour diary: Lexington, Whitesburg KY
Elam Blackman and I kicked off the fall tour in Lexingon, Kentucky where we played for a live radio audience at Red Barn Radio (pictures and video coming soon), and then played with the Rain Junkies at Buster's Billiards and Backroom. In the morning, Isaac and Julie introduced us to the hot brown, a Kentucky favorite: a piece of toast, covered in layers of sandwich meat, then smothered in gravy, then smothered in melted cheddar cheese that extends to the edge of the plate and looks like a big orange crispy blob, finally topped in bacon. mmmm. or, ow?

Last night we played a benefit show at Summit City Lounge, for Appalshop, one of the coolest non profits in the southeast. they work to preserve mountain culture and the mountains themselves, advocating against mountain top mining. They do community organizing and education for Kentuckians who want an alternative to working in the mines, and they are a force to be reckoned with! Definitely check them out.
