That cool Fall weather is coming! You should buy propane now before the prices go up and you also need to think about what you're going to wear when it gets chilly. Treat yourself to a nice hoodie this year. Stop buying those ones that wear out by spring and get that get that weird zipper bunch after you put it in the dryer twice.
Thanks to our friends at StoreFrontier we're able to keep every design in stock with multiple color choices. They're warm, comfy and good quality. Plus, every time you wear it you're supporting your favorite rocktronic duo!
What's Up With Kyle...
This week I wrapped up the designs for the album cover! Just gotta go over a few tweaks and placements with J. I can't wait for y'all to hear this!!
We released a big line of Roshambeaux hoodies this week! You can check them out at storefrontier.com/roshambeaux Let me know what you think or if you have any suggestions!
It's almost time to wake up Billie Joe. I personally can't wait for the cooler fall weather. Fall is my absolute favorite season! What's yours?

What's Up With J...
This week I've been able to get in a ton of work on wrapping up the new record. Still have plenty left (finishing the production and mix on the final track and mastering) but can see the finish line. I'm feeling very excited to be able to share all our hard work we've put in on this new record. I'm hoping to start brainstorming and storyboard a new music video for the title track. I've got lots of ideas but I've also gotta make sure what I'm wanting to do is actually doable. Kyle has gotten the cover art to a point to where there is only a few more edits and additions needed which is really exciting. While getting to this point is really exciting it also feels like September just flew by (anybody else feel like that?) and I lost so much time being sick. I am glad to say that I'm feeling 100% now for the most part and am looking forward to the shows we have coming up in October and can't wait to see you guys. To anyone who reads this...I love you very much. -J

What's Up With J...
These past couple of weeks have been weird. I ended up testing positive for Covid-19 2 weeks ago and was "sick" a week before that. I never had a fever or cough. My experience was mostly weird. Being tired and exhausted with a handful of others symptoms including a headache, loss of appetite and stuffy nose. I'm still having some residual tiredness/fatigue. But gaining more energy everyday. My experience with the disease is mostly just bizarre. Since I've been out of commission I haven't been able to do any work I was planning on. Getting back to some of those plans this week including finishing up the last track for the new album and story boarding our new music video. I'm excited to be able to get back to all of it. I'll keep you guys updated the best I can with any progress. To anyone who reads this...I love you very much. -J
What's Up with Kyle...
When I was a kid a took piano lessons from a a lady at church but I think I learned the most from my mom. After I'd get done with practicing my lessons my mom would tell me to put the book down and sit next to me on the bench. "Let's just have some fun. I'll show you some things about piano that I really like."
It was that time where my head got a break from black and white dots on lines and all the jargon of music theory and I just got to enjoy the way music made me feel. This week a writer friend of mine asked if I could help him out with some background music on some promo for his new book, "Syncronistic." He's releasing it in segments which you can read for free if you solve a puzzle (follow @AshleyIsaacStevens on Twitter).
He told me he'd like to have a classical or Shakespearean vibe that transitions into something spooky. I instantly thought of an exercise me and my mom would play together sitting next to each other on the piano bench.
Other than that I've been tidying up the cover for the next album and putting getting together the designs for hoodies coming out next week! I should have some sneak peaks up on Patreon this week!
-Kyle

You all are SO amazing!
Step Into The Ring of Fire...
We went down a YouTube rabbit hole of what well known songs would sound like if they were written in their relative major or minor keys. If you're a musician you probably understand exactly what that means but if you're not familiar, the easiest way to explain it is "What if a sad song sounded happy?' Or, "What if a happy song sounded sad?"
When Jeff C requested Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire," we thought it would be the perfect song to try out this idea. It ended up being one of our favorites and it's even found it's way into the live show!
While our patrons on Patreon have had access to this music video for a few months we'll be releasing it on YouTube next week! Watch the trailer below. If you can't wait until next week you can unlock it right now along with a ton of others as well as put in your suggestions on Patreon!
Coming Soon...
We have tons of cover releases scheduled for the rest of the year and into 2022! And of course you can unlock all them early on Patreon!
Unplugged Show This Week!
Our last outdoor unplugged show in Dahlonega, GA last month was rained out but we've rescheduled it for this Saturday September 11, 2021. You can get details on the when and where in our Facebook Group RoshamFAM or by joining our "super not spammy, we won't ever sell your data" email list HERE.
What's Up With Kyle...
This week, as J is working on finalizing the mix on the last song, I've been working on the cover art for the new album. It's really coming together and I think I about have it wrapped up. I've always been interested in graphic arts but was also really intimidated by it. While having some time off the road it's been a really great journey getting the opportunity to work on a new skill.
At first, J and I weren't really sure what direction to take with the visuals for the new album but I think we came up with a scene that compliments the overall tonality of the record, balancing realism with fantasy along with carrying some hidden meaning for the both of us. It's our hope that you'll find something new every time you look at it.
With that being said, while there's a few things where I can say I'm well seasoned, I'm still a novice in this big, awesome, sometimes head spinning world. I was reminded of an attitude Bob Ross put forth saying he didn't believe in talent. He believed in practicing something that brings you joy. If you've been practicing an art form, no matter what it is, I'd love to see it. We're not one of those bands that particularly enjoys making everything about us. I think art should be about community and if it brings you joy, it will will bring joy to others.
-Kyle

What’s Up With J…
There has been lots of worry and stress socially concerning what was, what is and what's to come. It can be a bit overwhelming. We are all, these days, expected to fill so many rolls and sort though so much information to try and make the right choices for ourselves, families, and communities. It is so important to respect everyone's decision even if it is at conflict with your own opinions on what is right. Most of us are just trying to do the best we can with the information available to us. I do understand that with this pressure some have also chosen to "check out." I strongly encourage open and honest communication with one another. In times like this we must be there for one another. Reach out to those you love even if it's just to remind them just that you care. Empathy is key to finding a true understanding and all of us coming together to a resolve in which works for all of us and what we are willing to do or not do. I am so grateful for each and every one of you no matter what your views or opinions are. This world is so abundantly beautifuly diverse. Do me a favor and remind someone today that you love them and as always....to anyone who reads this I love you very much. -J
What’s Up With Kyle…
Music helps. When your whole world is going to hell, music helps. When you’re in the edge of a perfect moment, music helps. When you have a mundane task to complete, music helps. When you miss someone so bad it hurts, music helps. When you’re sober, music helps. When you’re altered, music helps. When you’re just so fucking tired of people arguing about vaccines, music helps.
I don’t know what you need this week. I don’t know what you’re going through. I don’t have any let alone all of the answers for you. However, I think the only truly meaningful moments I’ve had making music is when someone said, “I got ____ going on right now. Your music helped.”
Music’s good like that. Put something on. And if you find you’re in need of suggestions here’s our YouTube: http://youtube.com/roshambeaux

Last Week To Get Tanks!
We’re gearing up for Fall Apparel but we have one last week of our Summer Swag! We’ll have a few more hot days until we get hoodie weather so make sure you snag some of these tanks before they’re gone!
We have some info on our next album as well as a brand new video release but first we want to give a quick shout out to our patrons on Patreon! Every month we release new versions of cover songs and our patrons help us decide which ones to do. Some of their suggestions even make it in to the live show! They get access to the songs 6 months before release and can watch all of our live online concerts on rewind. Support your favorite duo and help us write the show along side these awesome people!
Sherry S, Andy K, Bill H, James M, Jeff C, Nadia M, Elvin B, Steve B, Nancy B, Renee T & Phyllis F!
Our version on "Come Undone" is available today on YouTube! Thanks to our patron Nadia M for requesting it (even though we know Andy Hacked you ;) )! We had a lot of fun putting our spin on this one. We hope y'all enjoy it!
Coming February 2022...
We just wrapped our latest cover of Tom Petty's "Honey Bee." Thanks Renee T for suggesting this one. And you're right, that bass line is "HAWT!" Watch the trailer below!
The full version will be coming out on YouTube in February but you can watch it alongside a ton of other unreleased music videos this week on Patreon at patreon.com/roshambeaux
Got a request? Message us HERE or join us on Patreon and get your request in front of the line!
Existential Threat...
The rumors are true! We'll be releasing another full length studio album entitled, "Existential Threat," an album of tall tales, deep emotions and a summary of what life was like navigating 2020 as independent artists, this October! The album will include 10 brand new songs and will be available exclusively for download and CD preorder at roshambeaux.com
What's Up With Kyle...
It was great getting to shoot our cover of Tom Petty's "Honey Bee." I wasn't really ever in to Tom Petty but hearing the song for the first time instantly made me want to take a stab at it. J showed me some of the footage edits and I think it's gonna be pretty cool! I'm really grateful for our supporters on Patreon, not only for helping us come up with content but helping us keep the lights on too!
This week, I'm working on the cover art for the next album which will serve as the thumbnail for the album download but eventually will be the CD cover art as well. J and I had a lot of back and forth on the concept for it's design but I think we finally solidified something we're both really excited about. When we write songs, a lot of times we come up with characters, sets and plots to help us keep our creativity flowing. We always would laugh, moan and say stuff like, "Aw man, and no one's ever going to see that!" I think this album cover idea is a way to show some representations of those weird writing days. I'll put up some pieces on Patreon here soon, so y'all can see it. I'm really pumped!
-Kyle
What's Up With J...
Here we are again another week gone. I've finally finished the new cover video for our patrons and it's time to get back to finishing this last track for our new record. It's one that truly hits home and honestly is a little scary to revisit. As a musician when you put so much of what you go through into the songs you play it's like you relive certain situations over and over again as you play them. Wether that be happy, sad, erotic, traumatic or whatever. In a way it can be therapeutic. But also, as some of you know, revisiting past traumas is also very scary and this one really hits me. I am looking forward to putting this one behind me and can't wait to share this new record with all of you. Kyle and I both have put our hearts and souls into it. It truly is our most "real" record we've done. With how things are going we seem to be right on schedule for an October release and as soon as we have a date we will let you know. As I'm working on getting all the music mixed and mastered Kyle and I sat down a week or so and finally came up with our cover art concept and he is working tirelessly to bring our ideas to life. If you're on Patreon we will be showing some of the pieces as they come together. We hope that you are looking forward to this record as much as we are. To those of you on Patreon I truly hope you enjoy the bizarre video we just put out for you. Much love. -J
Kyle & J Unplugged...
We have an acoustic show coming up this week. We've been calling them, "Kyle & J Unplugged," because it doesn't necessarily feel like a Roshambeaux show. However, they're a lot of fun and it reminds us of a time where all we played were unplugged shows. These shows are somewhat on the DL but you can get all the details by joining our Facebook Group RoshamFAM or by signing our mailing list. We won't ever spam you. We just write one email once a week letting you know what we're up to.
Get More Roshambeaux on YouTube!
This week we released a brand new music video on YouTube but there's a whole van load of Roshambeaux content waiting for you on YouTube! We always wanted to have our own little rabbit hole to go down on YouTube and we think we're pretty close!
We got a brand new patron on Patreon this week! Thanks Sherry S for joining the team! Every month, for just $5, these awesome folks put in their requests to have us learn a new song. We arrange, record and make a music video for one of those requests every month. Some of them even make it in to our live shows. So essentially, you can help write our set lists by joining Patreon!
Thanks to: Andy K, Sherry S, Steve B, James M, Bill H, Renee T, Jeff C, Nancy B, Nadia M & Phyllis F! You guys have great ideas! Thanks for helping us write the show!
It was March 2020 when we had to cancel our tour and hunker down to try and help stop the spread of Covid 19. Like most of us, we figured "Stay At Home Orders," "Quarantining," "Masking" and "Not Going To Concerts," would only last a couple of weeks. We had no idea it would be 529 days until our next show.
Our very first show ever was in Helen, GA so it seemed that our first show back should be there as well. Thanks to all the RoshamFam that came to hang out after such a long time apart, especially y'all who traveled from out of state! We were blown away!
There's lots of videos and pics from the show posted in our Facebook Group "RoshamFAM!" If you're on Facebook be sure to join. We have so much fun in there!
LiveStream Interactive Concert!
We know not everyone could make it to our first show back so we'll be live streaming an interactive concert on our YouTube Channel Sunday, 8/15/21 @ 6:30pm EST. Tune in, chat and don't be shy about making requests! Make sure you're there right away. We do giveaways in the live chat before the show starts! The show will only be available to watch live but you can catch the rewind along with all of our previous online concerts on Patreon.
If you've scoped out our shop at roshambeauxmusic.com/shop you may have seen a few of J's creations. J makes stonework jewelry designed with specific intentions for the wearer from really cool gems and stones. Starting this week, each of J's designs come in a variety of sizes and can even be customized if something needs just a little tweak. Intention jewelry should speak to you in a way that's unique. So we're happy to make it just right for you.
A lot of people asked me what it felt like playing a show, after 529 days of not being able to. It was a lot of things.
It was getting a knot out of a pinched nerve. It was a long stretch after being in a space too small. It was a deep breath after being submerged for longer than expected. It was a toke after a long day. It was blood returning to a sleeping limb. It was a gentle hand pushing on the small of your back. It was tired eyes staring at a lover gone for a moment too long. It was antihistamine on high pollen count afternoon in Georgia. It was a dream once you've figured out you're dreaming. It was the fear of failure tempered with the fear of inaction. It was Dejavu. It was foreign. It was every muscle being sore but the sorest was from smiling. It was new car smell. It was "The Price Is Right," & Cough Medicine on a day off sick from school. It was that extra hour of sleep on Daylight Savings Time.
But most importantly, it was all of you that came out. Thanks for not letting me give up!
-Kyle
What's Up With J...
What an amazing weekend we had having our first show back and being able to see a bunch of you guys! It's feels amazing getting back to the swing of things. I was a bit nervous but also excited. Once I saw those of you that came out all the nerves fell away and man did we have a good time. On top of that this week we are announcing custom options for the bracelets I make and also an option to send me a personal email if you want something totally custom wether that be a bracelet, necklace, or something totally different. I'm really excited to see what ideas you guys might have and am looking forward to making your ideas come to life. So if you don't see an option on there for you just click the link on our artwork page and ask about what you're looking for. Also, I was finally able to finish out new cover for Patreon. We will be shooting the video for it this week and am looking forward to bringing some of our ideas for it to fruition. I love and appreciate each and everyone one of you. If you listen to our songs, tune in to our streams, wear my jewelry, come out to our shows, join our Patreon, or just read these weekly blogs. You truly mean the world to me. Much love. -J

New PA!
PA actually stands for "Public Address System" (which we always thought it meant "Power Amplification"). It's a term that basically means amps and speakers. Well... we got a new one! Our last rig, while still in great working condition, just wasn't quite enough for what we have coming up. Our first show back is outdoors, so we went over to Kyle's and tested it out. One of the main speakers was damaged in shipping but thanks to our rep, Tanner at Guitar Center its replacement is on the way. Talk about cutting it close!
LiveStream Interactive Concert...
We switched our last livestream concert over to YouTube last week and we're happy to say that the technical issues we were having with Facebook were resolved in the switch. We'll be doing our streams on YouTube from now on so be sure to subscribe to our YouTube Channel so you don't miss the next one!
Last week's concert is no longer available to watch on YouTube but you can catch the rewind on Patreon (ahem, if you needed another nudge)!
What's Up With J...
Another busy week. Prepping for returning to live shows, purchasing our new PA(testing it coming to find out one of the mains was a dud. Should be picking up the replacement this week), our live stream this past Sunday, and working to finish the new cover for Patreon had me balls to the wall. Filled with excitement but also a bit of anxiety has me reminded to plan a few down days this week to help keep me grounded. On our way back from testing the live gear at kyles the van started having some hard shift issues. Hoping it was just a fluke but a hard reminder that she will need more work to keep going or we will need to find something new. With our finances strained after all the repairs and replacements of our gear we are trying to figure out what we can do. With the good comes the bad and it's humbling to recognize the universe still has it's balancing scales at the ready. I know we will figure it out. It's just one last challenge we must face. We are now, more than ever, so grateful for those of you that continue to support what we do via Patreon or that just send us a little love on Paypal. We couldn't do this without you and you make this dream a reality. We love each and everyone of you. You know who else I love? .......Anyone who reads this. I truly hope you've had an amazing week. Let me know down in the comments what you've been up to and what you may be looking forward to. Much Love -J
What's Up With Kyle
I'm stoked! Is still cool to say or am I getting old? A friend of mine sent me a message of an old photo from my teenage days that read "I can't believe it's been almost 20 years." I couldn't believe it either but at the same time I could.
I saw an old boss of mine not that long ago and they said, "Man, you haven't changed a bit." The funny thing about it, was I wasn't sure if it was meant to be a flattering compliment or ribbing insult. I've heard it said, "If you can't look back on your past and say 'I was so stupid!' You're probably still stupid."
I'll admit, I've done lots of stupid things but aside from my loved ones, playing and writing music has always been the way I've been able to stay grounded. Music forces you to self reflect, even if you don't know it's happening. It makes you work on yourself. This past year lots of musicians have had to play music just for themselves. I've had a lot of my musician friends tell me they want to give it up because if it's not on a stage in front of people it feels pointless. I know how that feels. I don't necessarily think it's pointless but I do think it can be be scary working on yourself when you feel alone. I think a lot of musicians that made it out of the pandemic and back into a beginning of normalcy are stronger for it as long as they've kept the music going for themselves. I feel a little stage fright for our first show back but something tells me as soon as I see you, I'll get over it.
-Kyle

New Music Coming Out Next Month!
This week we're working on the next cover request. It's coming together really well. It will be due out on YouTube around January 2022 but you can get access to it alongside a dozen others as soon as we wrap on Patreon.
This month, we'll be releasing our cover of "Come Undone" by Duran Duran requested by "Nadia-I-Mean-Andrew M." Thanks y'all! We never thought we'd be Duran Duran fans but this one turned out great! Watch the Trailer below and be sure to subscribe to our YouTube Channel so you can watch it as soon as it comes out next month!
We had so much fun last week unveiling some new songs from our upcoming album "Existential Threat," coming out in October! We're gonna do another live stream this Sunday. If you've watched the last two live streams on Facebook, you may have noticed we've had a few technical difficulties with the stream. We've checked our settings and we've determined that YouTube's platform should provide a smoother output.
You can watch the countdown to the show HERE but the best way to not forget is to subscribe to our YouTube Channel and ring the bell. The show is FREE but will only be available live during the show but you can watch the rewind (along with past concerts) at anytime on Patreon. See you Sunday!
What's Up With J...
Been a busy week. Rehearsals, live streams, planning, repairs, and upgrades. But it feels good to finally be back in action. We are working on getting a few more shows on the books (Unplugged and full) and are working to balance that with what we have been able to do online via stream and Patreon while also staying grounded with plenty of self care time. This week I've started on prepping the new cover for this month and it's one neither of us had heard before from a very well known artist. Very excited to see how it turns out and we hope you are too. We've also decided to do another stream this Sunday. This time we will be doing it on YouTube so be sure to follow us over there if you haven't already. It's better suited for what we are trying to do and I realize that not everyone does Facebook. So this will be a way to make sure everyone who wants to tune in can. Let us know if you guys have any songs you'd like to hear us do this Sunday in the comments below. Something else else I'm really excited about is we are upgrading our PA system. We went in last week and traded in basically everything we could to earn some credit to go towards it and now we are patiently awaiting it's arrival so we can go down and pick it up. It's all been a bit much to juggle but exciting at the same time. Trying to remind myself to pace it out and let it flow. I hope you are having a fantastic week and can't wait to see you August 7th for our first full show back in over a year and a half. To anyone who reads this....I love you very much. -J
Get J's Handmade "Intention" Jewelry
What's Up With Kyle...
Hey Y'all! It's been a busy week! I've finished up the arrangement work for the next cover request video and sent the tracks over to J. J sent me a text asking for a "higher standard harmony" for one of the tracks and I thought he was telling me all the past stuff was awful, lol. I later realized he meant "standard" as in "what we normally do." We had a good laugh about it.
We've done a lot of upgrades to the live rig. I'm really excited for the live in person shows we have coming up. I'm normally a pretty introverted person and playing live always helped me come out of my shell. I've really missed it! I can't wait to see y'all!
We have tons of music coming out planned for the rest of the year. We're doing another livestream this week to show you a little peak on what we've been working on. It feels good to have things be fast paced again after this last year and a half. I think last year was a hard lesson in balance. One day I hope I'm wise enough to learn all my lessons the easy way but I think there is a certain kind of joy that can only be found on the other side of struggle. I'm grateful I get to experience it!

Listen To Us on Spotify!
Spotify is a great outlet for indie artists like us. Every time you play one of our songs we get a little chunk of Spotify's ad revenue and those pennies add up! Thanks for listening!
More Roshambeaux on YouTube!
Watch official music videos, skits, vlogs, official audio and even some of J's kitchen videos!
Tank Tops!
It's summer. It's Hot. You're hot. Get a tank, they're on sale!
We know we blast Patreon a lot but honestly, it's really the only way indie artists like us make money when we're not able to tour. If you dig what we're doing, please consider supporting us on Patreon for just $5 a month. You'll get early access to our cover videos and help us choose which ones we put out, watch concerts on rewind, get exclusive behind the scenes photos and videos of us working in the studio and special deals on merch. It's kind of like tipping the band at a show only you can hear that song again anytime you want!
Before we get started we're so excited to announce that we have 2 new patrons on Patreon this week: Bill H and Andy K! As you might imagine, it's not the easiest thing being independent musicians and our monthly supporters on Patreon ensure that we're able to keep making music no matter what life throws at us.
Special thanks to Bill H, Andy K, Nancy B, Renee T, James M, Steve B, Nadia M & Jeff C! You all rock!
Last week we pulled out the live show 18'' subwoofers and ran a few tests on them. They've seen a lot and honestly have been pushed beyond what they were built for. We've determined that they need to be replaced. It's not always the best feeling when you have unexpected bills but it's a great feeling knowing we've grown beyond our live rig and need to make some upgrades. We'll let you know what we end up with! If you're into live gear, let us know which subwoofers you like. We love nerding out about live sound!
New Piano!
Our last live stream we didn't do any piano songs because we had to mix in the new piano and make sure everything was working. We're happy to say it sounds incredible! We'll be sure to play some piano tunes on this next live stream coming up this week!
Did You Miss It!?
On Tuesday we did a little impromptu live stream with some new acoustic gear. J got a few new pieces for our unplugged shows we have coming up. We had a few technical hiccups but we're happy to say they're resolved so the next stream should be smooth! We found out that Facebook only allows 30 frames per minute (so 60 makes it struggle). We're glad we've gotten that smoothed out. If you don't want to miss our live streams be sure to subscribe to our YouTube Channel and our Facebook Page! Our streams will only be available to view while we're live but they'll be available to watch at anytime on Patreon!

There's So Much More Roshambeaux on YouTube...
Of course we put all of our Official Music Videos on YouTube but we also have live podcasts with us goofing off and hanging out with whoever logs on, live performances, radio appearances, random skits (we're wanna-be actors) and tasty treats from J's kitchen (yeah, we're not kidding)! Go down the rabbit hole!
Before we get to it, we just want to say thanks to our Patreon supporters. When we first started playing music together we'd hit up the local bars and learned play as many covers as we could remember. It always felt great when someone would put $5 in the jar and request a song we knew how to play. Now on Patreon, we've been able to recreate some of those moments from our roots every month with an exclusive performance video based on the requests of our supporters. It's so much fun and if we don't know it, we can take a little time to learn it. If you got a fiver to tip the band please consider helping us come up with the next cover video on Patreon alongside:
Steve B, Renee T, Nancy B, Jeff M, Nadia M & Phyllis F
Just Released: Roshambeaux's Cover of "Purple Rain!"
Our cover of Purple Rain is available now on our YouTube Channel requested by our Patron Steve B. You rock Steve! You picked a good one! Pulling off Prince was a challenge we weren't sure we could pull off. Watch below & let us know what you think!
Coming December 2021...
We finished filming our cover of "Crazy" by Gnarles Barkley this week. The video will be available on YouTube in December but if you just can't wait you can get early access right now, alongside over 13 other performance videos for just $5 on Patreon.
LiveStream!
We had so much fun on our livestream last week on Facebook! Thanks to everyone who tuned in. We'll be announcing another one shortly so be sure to join our mailing list HERE so you don't miss it! Last week's stream is no longer available to watch on Facebook but if you missed it or want to watch it again you can on Patreon. Just click the image!
What's Up With Kyle...
I thought I'd try my hand in a video blog this week (or vlog if you will). We had so much fun jamming with our friends Jeremiah and The Bull Frogs last week that I thought I'd try a bluesy, jammy version of our new song Criminal.
This past week has been a lot of fun. Kyle and I got to join our good friend Jeremiah again for a jam gig. Kyle was on keys and I was on percussion. Highlight was definitely Kyle experimenting with organ sounds and at the end of one of the songs he hit a hard key expecting me to close out the song but I just couldn't stop laughing...lol. it was such a good time. Plus we were able to do a live stream this past Sunday. I think we may be bringing those back more on the regular. We had some issues with our internet speeds being throttled but we hope to have that resolved very soon. I actually just had them out here the week before.....our internet provider can be super frustrating. But like I said we will be trying to make them a more regular thing. Possibly, we will be bringing back our live van philosophy on YouTube as well. Just gotta get these internet issues resolved. Can't wait to be able to perform more and see you guys at the upcoming shows in August! Hope all of you are doing well and have an amazing week. To anyone who reads this...I love you very much. -J
