What a way to start out the new year. For our first show in 2010 we played for over 350 of our most incredible following at The Grey Eagle in Asheville NC. It was over the top and put me into the rafters, literally!
I didn’t think it all the way through but before I knew it I was already hanging from the rafters. I can’t believe I didn’t hit something on the way down. The energy there was uncontainable. Everybody was there in the moment at the same time. That’s the beauty of music, it brings us all into the same time together and when it’s right it unites us into a single moment where we all can let go and be crazy. It was right! Believe me, we didn’t play flawless but it was right! Check out some great shots of the night from David Childers (our photographer) CLICK HERE
Justin Miles opened up for us with 3 brand new songs. He quite successfully warmed up the crowd. I was truly impressed and would have him open for me anywhere anytime. He looked so natural although I know he was freaking out!
We also had the help of several guest drummers that joined us in the end of The Edge of the World. These boys did an amazing job! They lifted the mood (and volume!) higher than I could have ever done alone. Their names are Jon Scroggs (my little brother), Johnny Becker, Kevin Uncapher, and Michael Lyda. I hold them personally responsible for making me jump up into the rafters!
Thanks to everybody that came out. You brought the energy, we just utilized it in our music!

I am having a hard time finding the words to let ya’ll know how much I enjoyed your show… It was absolutely insane! I couldn’t tear myself away from the stage, the energy was incredible. Your fan base is also fabulous, I got the best vibe from everyone I met, and everyone was jumping and laughing and having a great time. I needed to hear some good music on Friday, and you didn’t let me down, I danced all night! As a fellow musician, I am hard to impress, but I left on such a high from the Grey Eagle. Your EP has been on repeat ever since I left and I can’t wait to hear more!!! I’ll be coming to your shows whenever I can, and I look forward to tracking your success. God bless and keep up the good work!

I had a blast. It was really fun to see the response from my fiends who were seeing you for the first time. Everyone I talked to was having a blast. You guys just keep getting better!! I love seeing musicians really in love with what they are doing.

Like I said before, that jump made my night. And the music too of course. I was weightless

From the moment I walked into The Grey Eagle, the only words that can begin to describe the show is “off the charts…” The energy that you give, the love that comes from the stage, your melodies that weave their way through your music, and the crowd that propelled you into the rafters made the way for an exceptional show.
I am looking forward to the new music that’s coming. All the best. It’s all going up from here! Thanks for the marvelous friday night at the Grey Eagle. GREAT SHOW!
