Wow...it's mid-August already. We've been busy. Busy is good. It makes us happy and it pays the bills. Lots of new opportunities popping up and we feel all loved and wanted and such, lol. This month, we've got DC, MD, and VA covered. Come see us soon!
Oh, and Charlie has a new website. Check it here.
It's about 95 degrees outside...it's supposed to be even hotter tomorrow. Not compaining, lol, I'll take the sweltering summer heat over the bitter cold of winter any day.
I'm psyched because we have three gigs this week. We're at Vermilion in Old Town Alexandria tomorrow night. Then, we play Kilroy's in Springfield on Thursday. Friday, we head back up to Leadbetters Tavern, our favorite little bar in B-more. Fun time! You can get info on the Schedule page. Come out and see us.
Thank you Kanal Jazz, Midnight Special Blues Radio, Indie Mad MP3, Pongid Radio, and Women of Substance Radio for playing our music! Independent stations run by individual music lovers support independent artists all over the world. It's a beautiful thing ;-)
We're looking forward to performing at the Waters Edge on the Occoquan again this weekend. Great vibe, happy staff, and excellent food! Come on out...bring your mama ;-)
Charlie said we'd get more gigs if we put a picture of a white couple on our website. hahahahahahahahaha!
funny...sad...probably true.
The Right There video will be "video of the day" on Pongid Radio on or around March 27. Check it out here. Pongid is an online magazine and radio station featuring independent artists of all genres. They've had our song in rotation since last week. Coooool!
UPDATE: Stone/Wright is the featured artist for April on Pongid Radio. Woohoo!
Next week, on Tuesday the 23rd, WPFW (89.3) FM's Dr. Belle will be playing Right There from the Live...From the Bedroom CD on the show with Keanna Faircloth. That's Tuesday, February 23rd, between 1:00 and 3:00 pm. The station number is 202-588-0893. Tune in, call in!
UPDATE: That didn't happen, but Keanna played the song on her show yesterday (03/09/10). We're trying to hook up an interview and/or live performance on a future show. If you want to hear us, call the station ;-)

We just saw a rough cut of the new video. We think it's pretty cool ;-) Can't wait to see the final...we'll upload it to the world as soon as we get it (hopefully, in a week or so).
We're shooting a video next weekend for "Right There." We're working with a guy out of New York who's done some really nice stuff. We have the basic concept and locations worked out...now we just have to find something to wear, lol.
Skope Magazine featured us in October's Music Up Close with Janie. You can read it here.

We're back from Paris. It was a fabulous five days! We toured the city, walked for miles and miles--lol, ate a lot of really good food, checked out a few local musicians playing in tiny little clubs (all playing american music), and met some wonderful folks. It's a vibrant, beautiful city--oui, oui!
