Raleigh! What are you up to this upcoming Saturday? You should probably get yo’selves over to the Guy Fawkes Festival… It’s all going down on the 300 block of Fayetteville pretty much all day long… Looking forward to sharing the stage with Jack The Radio and The Old Ceremony. Rain or shine, we’re gonna be doing the damned thing…
See ya at the rock thing. —brooks

UPDATE ON NEW EP!
I wanted to give you guys an update on the new EP and what you can expect out of it. So far, I couldn’t be happier with the recording process. Kieran Kelly is a super professional engineer and not a bad comedian at that - he’ll be here all week. Aaron Lee Tasjan is pulling double and sometimes triple duty on a lot of these tunes - Producer, bass guitar, lead guitars… Before it’s all said and done, he’ll probably play the theremin on a few tracks… We shall see. Playing drums is Ramblin’ Rob Heath… Have you seen this guy play? These new tracks are going to be something new for me - very rootsy, americana, country, you get the idea… Imagine The Jayhawks, Whiskeytown, and Cher all having a huge orgy - their lovechild will be this new EP… So there you go. What’s that do for ya?
There you have it boys and girls. Until we meet again, I’ll see you out in twitter/facebook/instagramland!
Peace and Chicken Grease,
Brooks Lee Wood
