Well you guys over there in the UK certainly surprised us! The last minute intimate show on December 6th that we announced a few days ago sold out in 3 hours! Thanks so much for your support! This has made it so that the powers that be have already asked us back for a bigger show in January! This second show will be full band and at the main stage of The Relentless Garage! Details below. Buy your tickets now because it’s still not a very large room! If we do well, we might be able to add other UK shows soon after, so please tell your friends, tweet and facebook it!

Read More Posts In NewsComments: 7 comments so far. Add yours »
Well this sure is a little last minute, but we are SO EXCITED to announce our first ever European show! We will fly into London for a December 6th show at the Upstairs @ The Relentless Garage. All details are below. Please help us spread the word! This is a very small venue, 150 capacity, so buy tickets right away to help us we convince everyone that we need to come back soon after again, and that we should go to other cities soon too! If we could sell this out it would be a huge step for us and a successful European audition if you will. 
This is all spurred on by our UK iTunes success of the last week or two, so thank you for that!
*Note On Tickets* Tickets are for sale a the Jazz Cafe box office, at face value with no extra charges! Tickets are also available online, on ticketweb/seetickets/stargreen but with some pretty hefty extra charges. To buy tickets at the box office in person or by phone check the details here.
*Note Age Limitation* 14+ only. 14s to 16s must be accompanied by an adult.
*UPDATE* Almost all tickets are sold out already! Go here to find out how you can still come!

Just one day ago Mike arrived safely back in Brooklyn after having a blast with all of you guys for two weeks of a solo tour, and here we are announcing a new FULL BAND tour coming up! Our friend Jenny Owen Youngs will be coming with us and she will knock your socks off! Speaking of the solo tour, check the bottom of this post for a beautiful multi-camera shot video of Mike’s perfomance of “Almost Everything…” at Jammin Java in Vienna (VA) just a few days ago, courtesy of our friends at Sum Of Change Productions.
We’re still working on a tour poster and a tour name (suggestions welcome!!), but here are the dates already! Our dearest Nicole is working on getting these up on the tour page with ticket buy links later today. Who’s coming?! Oh did we mention we’re coming to Canada for the first time?!
