Headed North to the Big City!

After a long tour in August, we have happily enjoyed a September full of dates across the Old North State. From our Cat’s Cradle release show, Paperhand Puppet Show at NCMA in Raleigh, and festivals across Chapel Hill, Durham, and Charlotte, it has truly been an exciting month.

We can never stay put for long, so this weekend we’ll be loading up the van and heading back up to New York City for our fifth(!) time. This time we’ll be at the widely renowned Mercury Lounge on the Lower East Side. Joining us will be New York’s own “Big Cat Menagerie,” and they’ll be serving up some fresh swing to kick things off. We play at 9 and we promise to make this the best trip yet. Follow this link for a $10 ticket: http://www.mercuryloungenyc.com/event/1540154-ellis-dyson-shambles-new-york/

On Sunday we’ll be returning to one of our very favorite places to play. Sweet Nola’s in Winchester, Virginia is a true embassy of New Orleans food and culture. We’ll take care of the music while Cheryl Ash and her crew takes care of us with a Big Easy style feast. https://www.facebook.com/SweetNOLASWinchester/

We’ve had a great time at home this month, and now we’re ready to get back out on the road. As always, if any friends, loved ones or even enemies live near where we’re going, please spread the word!
