Thanks to all who came out to Milkboy in Ardmore on Friday - we had a lot of fun, and were glad to be sharing the bill with The Bridge Band, who it is safe to say blew us all away with their songwriting and musicianship - great stuff!

We’ve actually just announced one final Hulihees show - it looks like we’re going to be lucky enough to have Ron until mid October, so our 10/4 show at Burlap & Bean will be the final send-off! If things change, I’ll still be playing there in some capacity, be it MATTOWAX or one of the other projects a brewin’…so, keep it in mind! More to come as the details are finalized. Be well!

On Friday, we spent the morning with CBS3 Philadelphia’s Nicole Brewer, for a piece to be used as part of her regular “What’s Brewin’” column on csb3.com (very worth keeping up with!). Nicole was also a guest on our upcoming podcast (number 51!), which should be out either later this week or early next week (due to a studio computer meltdown…). She was a great guest and a lot of fun to have on the show - please support her whenever possible!

The finished piece can be viewed by clicking the image below - make sure to click the video on the right side of the screen to see it (the written piece is just a lead-in). Good stuff!

You read that right…the fearless leader of The Hulihees, Handsome Ron Foligno, has announced his intent to move back to sunny Arizona this Fall - so time is slipping away. We’ve got a great night planned at Milkboy Coffee in Ardmore on Friday night, August 22nd, and it could very well be our last show with the band.

However, it’s not all gloom and doom - there are already plans for some cross-country recording to finish up work on the EP we were working on (”Canned Pants”), and who knows where things will go from there. Plus, let’s focus on 8/22 - it is going to be a fantastic night on which we’ll be sharing the stage with our friends the FANTASTIC spiritual rock band The Bridge Band, supporting their second album “Love”. Things should be kicking off early (8PM sharp!), so I’d try to be there 7-ish if possible to get a good seat. Should be a great night - hope to see you there!

The second half of the 50th show is now also posted - this time, click the insane picture of Jeff and myself below to enjoy. Have fun!
