It looks as though we may be getting a small write up in Rolling Stone! We are pretty happy about that as I guess it is rare for an indie blues project to get attention. In essence we just did this to enjoy playing music and make something we thought was beautiful. I guess good things come with simple intentions.

Again, I am really grateful for all the emails and Cd sales from here.

Thanks Bill. There is nothing anyone can say that is higher praise then the idea that somehow something we played inspires them to play. I have no idea if that was a grammatically correct sentance, but you get the idea! lol

Hey everyone! I am getting a lot of questions about gear and tone so I thought i would post my equipment page link:

The main mic I use for guitars is the Royer R121 Ribbon mic. It is just fantastic!

thanks for all the notes and kind words and also for buying the Cd! The support from you guys is amazing and we really appreciate it.

Wow! It's been almost exactly one year since this topic's been last active. Just wondering what's up with the ZBQ. I'm hoping for a response like, "what a coincidence, we're going to be releasing our 2nd album in a couple of weeks, then tour the US starting with Boston!" Laughing
