Subject: You guys truly rock!! Please keep putting it out.

Here's an email from a new fan in Colorado who saw us on our Texas/Colorado tour back in January, had to share this one, it pretty well sums up what we're about at this point in getting our music out there and winning over new fans. Pretty cool:

Subject: You guys truly rock!!  Please keep putting it out.

Hey guys.  I just had a chance to see you play the Walnut Room in Denver on Saturday night.  What an absolute pleasure it was.  You guys gave us a great show.  Good jams, skilled musicians, great stage presence and music as it should be…well written, well performed, rocking and raw.  And please know, I say raw in the best of ways.

I had a chance to talk to Paul for a little before the show and briefly with Jonathan afterwards.  Sorry Scotty!  My company was pretty toasted and it was time to take folks home!  It was nice to meet some hard working, talented musicians who were unassuming and outgoing.  The free CDs were another added bonus but you guys screwed yourselves out of some well deserved cash!!  I would have gladly paid $10 and $15 for each of them.  I told Paul, with your permission I’d like to burn them and send them out to friends from Idaho, Wyoming, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and New York.  Anything to help you guys build a name and to try and prime the pump for some future shows.  All five people who hit the show with me were blown away and completely sold on your band.  It was all we talked about on the ride home. 

I won’t eat up your time since I know you’re enjoying this beautiful state for the first time.  I just wanted to tell you how much I believe in your music.  You guys are doing the right things, you have access to your tunes online, your touring out of your local area and you truly have a great stage presence.  It really took me back to see how much you put out in a small venue with 50 people in the crowd.  You could have easily pulled it off in a crowd of 10,000.  No shit. 

I told Jonathan after the show that I’m just you’re average guy who loves music and plays a fair guitar.  I can’t sign you to a major label or offer you riches and world tours.  But I’ve done the band thing and what I do know is this.  It isn’t the execs that give you success.  It’s ordinary people like me that you move with your music.  We’re the chumps that will gladly dish out $50 to see some great musicians like you, with the fire and passion every time you come to town. 

Keep up the great work.  I’ll be following your progress closely and I already can’t wait for the next time you guys come to the Rocky Mountain west.  Thanks again for a great show and the killer CDs.
